Took the NLN on 6/12/2012. Scored 150 (81% verbal, 91% math, 86% science). All relative scores were above the 90th percentile.The usefulness of this review guide is going to vary from person to person. Some people need a refresher in science from 2 years ago; some have not taken it at all. For me, I was somewhat strong in verbal, very strong in math, and weak in science before reviewing. This guide will let you know what you have to study. I read every word of the guide, did every practice problem, and completed every test (By the way, the CD included with the guide are the exact same questions in the book. You are not getting anything extra with the CD). When I took the test, there were no surprises in terms of structure. The practice tests in the guide (when used under a time limit) mimic the actual test environment. This is good because you can save time simply starting the problems instead of reading the instructions. I ran right to the end of the clock in the math section because most of the problems were very wordy and time consuming (but not necessarily difficult).Verbal: Vocabulary and reading comprehension. The review guide will allow you practice picking out important information while reading the passages and managing time. It also highlights common questions (ex. What is the main topic? What is the best title for this passage? What can you infer from the author?). The vocabulary section will not help you that much. You will have to depend on your years of reading, schooling, media, etc if you want to nail the more complex words. Learning roots and suffixes helps marginally.Math: Easiest section.
This book has 3 things it covers, reading comprehension, math and science.I would rate the math and science as 5 star and reading comprehension at 4 or so. It has lots of practice questions. I think 4 tests on just math, 4 on just science and 4 on reading then the 3 complete practice tests that cover everything in the book. The math covers about anything you can think of and explains how to do it also. Fractions, decimals, some geometry and algebra etc..The science is also nice, a lot of facts on biology, chemistry and physics. Probably everything you need to know to get into the lpn course.Reading comprehension is ok, but no explanations on why the answer they have is the right one. It is up to you to figure it out when some questions seem to have more than one answer.It also has a good bit of verbal ability questions mixed in with the reading comprehension part, for example something like:'They had an impromptu meeting today. Impromptu means' and then gives 4 multiple choice answers.I only gave it 4 stars because from what I hear, there are things on the entrance exam thats not covered at all by the book.There is no section for spelling which is on the test. It would be nice if it had a section for frequently misspelled words such as:accomplish or acommplish, satelite or satellite, acomodations, accomodations etc...It was written supposedly by the national league of nurses so they shoud have an idea of the words that will be on the tests. At least some of them.Also nothing at all about the pattern recognition section of the test (what comes next in this series) type questions. Not even a mention.
