Worth every penny. “I found this to be helpful from the very first chapter. I was able to apply the ideas to the very next test I took in nursing school and have found it changed the way I view nursing school. It breaks it down to the various types of questions asked and how to approach them. It teaches you to brush aside the distracting and unnecessary aspects of the questions and teaches you to hone in on what really is essential. It even helps you break down the dreaded ‘select all that apply’ questions. I highly recommend this book to any and all first-year nursing students.”
—Suzanne Chick

Amazing. “The FA Davis Test Success book is amazing. In lecture, we're told how to deal with "nursing" questions but it can still be puzzling. The test success book is wonderful and gives you examples and explanations, and then a practice test to use the test-taking tips in and gauge your success.”
Nina, Durham Technical Community College

Great Techniques To Know BEFORE Starting School. “…this has helped tremendously. It breaks down the types of testing questions and gives hints on how to process it and choose the most correct answer. As well as ways to calm yourself on the day of the test and ways to prepare for test day. If you have test anxiety this will definitely help with calming your testing fears. I've read from several buyers of this book to read it before you start school and I definitely agree!”
—J N Moore
