Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

CD is old school (breakable) and Multiple device support software is the new trend The Free Access code is not for "Textbook" registration but its for a free Practice Questions from "Online Evolve Account" and was widely misunderstood because its actually a free "redeeming code" to a browser-base Practice Questions software from Evolve Online Catalog (similar to an App Store or Google Play store) In order to redeem the free code, you need first to "create" your Evolve account with valid email address. The registration process may be "annoying" to the students but it does not take a minute to sign up a new Evolve account. Existing Evolve students (and teachers) users can simply sign in to redeem the free code. If you do not want to purchase the 6th Edition Paperback, the online browser-base software actual price is $ 26 This written review "both" covers the new changes of the 6th Edition from the 5th Edition and the new Online software. An additional Important Note below details the common pop up window browser problems and its solution. Part 1: 6th Edition PAPERBACK Saunders NCLEX-RN (The Kindle version does not contain the free redeeming code) Advantages + New Color of Highlighted words (Purple Background and Neon Green Info Box are visual appealing) + Built-in Color coded bookmark edges in Med Surg, Pedia, Pyschia Category + Critical Thinking Information box in every Chapters + Some Book References are updated (2011 to 2013) + Free Online browser-based software with multiple Device support (PC, Mac, iPad, Android, Windows RT Tablet) Note: 5 inches smartphones like Galaxy 4 and Galaxy Note 3 are compatible using the Dolphin browser but the text letters will be smaller than average tablets. (Zooming the display screen is recommended) Disadvantages - Most Contents are the same and only new 5 questions are added from the 6th Edition textbook Comprehensive Exams - An extra $ 20 if you purchase the 6th Edition over a used 5th edition ($ 40) Part 2: Online Browser-base Software rebranded as Evolve Student Resources (5th Edition textbook includes a CD) The Practice Questions online software are compatible in iPad and android Tablets (Nexus 7 & Kindle Fire) using Dolphin browser. Chrome and Firefox are my recommended browsers in Windows PC, Windows 8 RT, Chromebook & Mac book (Important Note below) After you log in the Evolve Student Account, Select the "Exam Review" and wait for a pop up window to appear.
