I found that the success books helped me to know where to focus my studying and also gave me a lot of great review questions that really prepared me for my exams! By using the med-surg success book, my grades shot up from an 89 to a 96. Also through the med-surg success book, my grades were consistently in the mid to high 90's range. I encourage all my friends to use the success books and they can agree that it has really helped them as well.” -  Esther Hung, Student Nurse at Molloy College, Rockville Centre, NY Read Less
