Preparation Books

I highly recommend this book before taking the boards. It was the main tool i used to study by and I passed with the computer shutting off at 75. Especially if you are not all that comfortable with computer programs the disc that comes along with the book contains software the simulates the computer generated NCLEX. It even shuts off after you passed or failed. I glad I found it and just wanted to share with everyone else.

This is an excellent review text on the essential elements of the NYS
Science Exam for 8th Graders. The exam is comprehensive and complex in
a number of minor subject areas. For instance. a list of areas covered
includes:
o Math
o Scientific Inquiry
o Elementary Engineering Design
o Astronomy
o Geology, Meteorology
o Chemical Energy
o Forces and Newtonian Laws
o Graphing ( Linear, Indirect or Cyclic)

Preparation for this exam is considerable. This work covers the areas
fairly adequately. It is reasonably priced for the value of the
information contained.

This book is very informative and easy to understand. After being out of school for 17 years it was easy to understand. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who is going to be taking the TEAS test.

The book arrived on time in condition as specified.
The price was unbeatable. Totally satisfied.
Thank you.

after carefully perusing all of the books in the store on the subject, I went with Barron's. It was an excellent choice. Some of my friends even wound up borrowing my book in the weeks before our exam. I think that the thing that made it the most useful was its organization. This is a very user-friendly book. I found the material to be well-presented, easy to understand and thoroughly explained. My teacher now recommends this book to all of his students. and I recommend it to Amazon.com
Good luck!

As a toefl-IBT test center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this new Barron's writing for the toefl is an excellent piece of work for those who have difficulties in writing English, especially as the TOEFL-IBT has become above par of any other English evaluation test can be. The Barron's writing provides special hints, this will really upgrade any one's score

I found this book by accident at a Pri-Med conference and couldn't put it down. This book not only provides the information you need at hand but the pictures are awesome!! I'm a NP student and wish I had this book in my health assessment class.

The battle for Leyte was one of the big ones. It was one of the few where Nimitz and MacArthur worked together to come up with the forces needed to begin taking back the Phillipines. In this book Mr. Vego shows an extraordinary amount of research in what both the Allies (mostly American) and the Japanese were doing to prepare for and fight the battle.

The most famous part of the battle was Halsey's decision to take virtually all of his carrier force north to fight the Japanese northern decoy force. This, of course, left the naval forces around Leyte very weak. This event again shows the careful research that characterizes the book.

Years later Halsey still defended his actions saying, 'given the same circumstances and the same information ..., I would make it again.' The author's conclusion, 'no decision can be considered sound if the commander does exactly what the enemy wants him to do.'

Writing many years after the battle Mr. Vego has the ability to draw a whole series of conclusions about the battle (too many to go into here) and his final chapters are a masterpiece of conclusions and lessons learned.

I absolutely love this book. It does a great job integrating psychology, psychiatry and behavioral science and biostats, and epi. Best of all it is written by the same author as BRS behavioral sciences and high yield behavior science. Worth the extra 100 pages of reading.

This book is probably the best comprehensive study book for the Professional Development part of the ExCET exam. It has lots of information and sample test questions. It is very well written and was suggested in my school district as the best book to get. There is a study book that works well with it (kind of like a workbook) called Pass the ExCET on Your First Try. I highly recommend The Best Test Prep...
