Took the NLN on 6/12/2012. Scored 150 (81% verbal, 91% math, 86% science). All relative scores were above the 90th percentile.
The usefulness of this review guide is going to vary from person to person. Some people need a refresher in science from 2 years ago; some have not taken it at all. For me, I was somewhat strong in verbal, very strong in math, and weak in science before reviewing. This guide will let you know what you have to study. I read every word of the guide, did every practice problem, and completed every test (By the way, the CD included with the guide are the exact same questions in the book. You are not getting anything extra with the CD). When I took the test, there were no surprises in terms of structure. The practice tests in the guide (when used under a time limit) mimic the actual test environment. This is good because you can save time simply starting the problems instead of reading the instructions. I ran right to the end of the clock in the math section because most of the problems were very wordy and time consuming (but not necessarily difficult).
Verbal: Vocabulary and reading comprehension. The review guide will allow you practice picking out important information while reading the passages and managing time. It also highlights common questions (ex. What is the main topic? What is the best title for this passage? What can you infer from the author?). The vocabulary section will not help you that much. You will have to depend on your years of reading, schooling, media, etc if you want to nail the more complex words. Learning roots and suffixes helps marginally.
Math: Easiest section.
