Lippincott NCLEX-RN Alternate-Format Questions , 6th edition is designed to help anyone preparing to take the RN licensing examination. Students and faculty also use the book as a study guide and practice tests for preparing for faculty-made examinations.
This expanded 6th edition has everything needed for students to be fully prepared to answer every type of question found on the NCLEX. More than 600 questions include multiple-response, drag-and-drop, hotspot, audio, chart, graphic option, and fill-in-the blank questions. Also included are two comprehensive tests with 100 questions each. Rationales are clear and detailed and cover correct as well as incorrect answers. Test-taking strategies help students dissect each question to its core components and provide keys to choosing the right answer. The book reviews all the topics covered on the actual NCLEX-RN.
Hundreds of questions at the application level or above prompt active learning and higher-order thinking. Questions are aligned with the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) 2016 RN test plan and are written in the style used on the licensing examination. An accompanying PassPoint trial site provides an additional opportunity for students to practice for NCLEX while also giving a glimpse of the full PassPoint experience.
Highly recommend this book to study alternate format questions for the NCLEX- a type of question that I was highly concerned about passing with.
With more than 500 questions, it's a great practice and good confidence booster. Had all types of questions: graphic option, multiple-response, multiple choice, fill in the blank calculations, chart exhibit, drag and drop/ list and hotspot questions!
Liked the layout of questions on the left hand half of the page with answers and explanations on the right hand side for ease of checking and reviewing the rationale. Make sure you don't accidentally peek by having something to cover the opposite side.
Covers a range of topics on the exam- A great splitting of topics and then two comprehensive tests at the end to consolidate all the content.
This book was difficult, which was good! NCLEX can only seem easier after 400+ pages of select-all-that-apply and other alternate-format questions! My main issue with this book was that quite a few of the "put these in order" questions had answers that were WAY off. For instance, when would you ever document before covering a dehisced wound?? When you read the rationale for the answer, the rationales made sense and the order matched what I was thinking. However, if you were just looking at the answer and not the rationales, the answers were completely in the wrong order. I assume this book had a previous version and the order of the options was rearranged, but the answers weren't altered accordingly. I just read the rationales and it was fine, but it is a significant error with this book.
