I have been working on the Saunders book and it is a good book but so far i am finding the questions, after reading each chapter, quite predictable. Are the Saunders test questions of the same level of difficulty as the NCLEX questions? i am concerned (maybe worried!) that this may not be the case. My percentages have been high and im wondering if this is really enough. A couple of threads have mentioned that the Kaplan questions give a more accurate picture of how prepared you are for the nclex and you have a greater chance of passing the NCLEX if you get through the kaplan questions. I really don't want to miss out on anything and at the same time i don't want to confuse and overwhelm myself with the ton of info and resources out there. Is saunders reeeaaally enough? And if saunders is enough ( in terms of how much one needs to know), how about specific and affordable books, stuff on the internet, cds you highly recommend that are all about the questions- to exercise test taking skills with emphasis on analytical and critical thinking? Thanx

Have you started the questions on the CD yet?
And yes, that one book with its CD is enough.

I have the same questions that you do? I am taking the Kaplan review course May 15-18th and I wonder if it will help me any ? I have heard mixed answers about it. I am also doing 75 questions/day from the Saunders review. Right now I am averaging 55/75 questions! I am a little worried!

I took the Kaplan class first but was frustrated by my low test scores (and i was a good student in school) on the question trainer exams. I then did Suzanne's program using Saunders. I used the Saunders book all throughout school. I found the NCLEX questions were much like the Kaplan questions and Saunders questions were easier for me. However, Saunders does give better rationales than Kaplan. I passed the exam with 75 questions on the first try --- I dont know which worked best, but I was happy I did both.

Which Saunders book is this? The Comprehensive or the Q&A?
