 Rating: - Good explanatory answers, but an unreal amount of typos!I found the study guide to be somewhat useful, but I wasted quite a bit of time trying to figure out arithmetic problems where there were typos in the question itself, the explanation, or both. It took me much more time than it should have on numerous math exercises simply because I kept trying to figure out why my answer was "wrong".

I recently took the nursing exam and the test wasn't nearly as in depth as this book. I feel like I wasted a lot of time learning anatomy and physiology that wasn't even needed for the test. There were a lot of practice questions throughout the book but I found it difficult to study from those. I have been out of college for almost 10 years so the book was helpful to brush up on some of those math and ... Read More
