Professor of Nursing
College of St. Benedict/St. John’s UniversitySt. Joseph, Minnesota2187_FM_i-xxiv.qxd 3/5/10 12:58 PM Page v After you answer the questions, be sure to read the ratio-
nales for the correct and incorrect options and the test-taking
tips. These provide you with significant information that willhelp you to understand the basis for the correct option andwhy the other options are incorrect. The test-taking tip pro-vides a method for selecting an option when you are unsureof the answer or a cue for remembering the information. As you study, use the CD-ROM to select additional
questions in a content area especially if you did poorly on apractice test. Each of the 48 practice tests has approximately100 questions between the book and the CD-ROM and theCD-ROM features will allow customizing the questions tomeet your needs. Using the CD-ROM intermittently through-out your review will also enhance your proficiency in readingand answering questions from the computer screen and pre-pare you to take the NCLEX-RN
®Exam on the computer.
Use the other features of the CD-ROM to take practice
tests of 265 questions. This number reflects the maximumnumber of questions that a student can take on theNCLEX-RN
®. Allow yourself 5 hours to complete 265 ques-
tions, which is the maximum amount of time allowed on theactual exam, and then evaluate your ability. Once you areconsistently answering 75-80% of the questions correctly,you can feel confident that you are well prepared. Preface xiii2187_FM_i-xxiv.qxd 3/5/10 12:58 PM Page xiii xxiii
