Evolve Reach Testing and Remediation Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination (Evolve Reach Testing & Remediation Comprehensive Review),   ISBN:9781416047759

Customer Rating: 

This book is good for a quick review, and the CD has practice questions in the HESI format. I actually used it to study for my HESI this time and did worse than I did on the practice one. I always find things on the test not covered in the book and another contributing factor could have been bad test taking skills. Different things work for different people.

I would also like to add that content on the practice cds do not represent the material on the actual HESI. Not a bad thing. Just a reminder. The questions really are just practice.

The book is helpful if you have already studied the details of the subject matter. It will help you recall information. Good study tool.

I used the Saunders and Lippincott CDs to study for my HESI exit exam, and, even though I am an A student, I failed it. So I bought this book and everything I needed to know was in there. I passed the second time with the highest score in my class. The HESI Hints in the book are invaluable, and the CD questions are harder than those on the actual test. I was scoring about 70% on the CD but I achieved 95th percentile on the exam. The Evolve people are the ones who write the HESI, if you haven't figured that out yet, so their approach is geared for the HESI. Saunders has a lot of info but I felt the CD scoring was too easy, and it didn't help me pass the HESI the first time. I am about to take the NCLEX now and I feel comfortable using the Evolve book pretty much exclusively. I would recommend that those preparing for HESI and NCLEX buy this book, the Kaplan book (for info on how to break down the questions) and maybe one other book with a lot of questions on CD. Good luck to all!

Update Sept. 15: Just passed NCLEX in 75 questions! I owe a lot to this book!

I got this book to review for the hesi exams, after not doing as great on my last one. After reviewing the book and doing the questions I got above a 900 on my ob hesi.It was extremely helpful for me and it put everything a textbook would have in about 70-100pages. It has sections for each subject of nursing. Hoping it helps for the next hesi.

The volume you are looking at here is one of the best guides for nurses interested in excellence in the field, in the classroom and in taking the NCLEX-RN exam (LPN's you will be wise to choose this guide too!)
