There are tons of books, discs, guides, online lectures, and courses out there to help you review. I have a list of books in some of my older posts I can work on reviewing. There are also websites that can help you. A great resource is always the website that makes up the exam. They usually have test content information, sample questions, some tips, and more. Plus, they have a break down of topics on the latest test that changes.
NCLEX:
I had books before my NCLEX exam but I never much used them. We had some for school and completed sections for a class. The more practice questions, the better. I also took the Hurst Review course. It was great for me because I got a book and could go more than once for a one-time price. I didn't try any of the online content. I bought a Kaplan book also because it helped with test taking strategies. Also, I watched the Drexel videos on You Tube.
Here are some of the review courses available. They usually provide a book but usually offer more. They may have discs with questions and online review or lectures available too.
