Does this make sense??
You know what...I was just thinking. I mentioned that Kaplan came closest to the set up of NCLEX questions, BUT, I think Saunders CD was best for content & explaining why EACH answer was incorrect. That was the one that helped me with remembering Addison's disease, etc. Although the questions were not set up like NCLEX, it was good for practicing questions.
Also, from what I have read in my Kaplan Coursebook, NCLEX asks questions at the application/analysis level & that's the kind of questions that one should be practicing.
On my Saunders CD, there was one section of questions that I was doing that were almost all analysis/application. There are some that are comprehension, but not too many. So, I think as long as you are answering analysis/application level questions, you should be fine.
The Kaplan CD has 7 tests, & to be honest with you, I only did tests 1-5 & then mainly used Saunders after that.
One thing I noticed on the Kaplan Question Trainer CD is that they don't consistently give rationale as to why certain answers are not correct, which I needed to know in order to understand. In my opinion, they focused more on getting you to use their test-taking strategies. Good luck.
Would you like to comment?
