I did both, my school gave us ATI for free. I preferred Kaplan for test taking strategies (yes these strategies really work when all the answers look correct) and Saunders for review of content. Kaplan was a huge investment, but honestly, the best I...

if you can afford azusa, go for it. i love cal state lb, it's just that in every state school in ca, you will find a huge waiting list. you can have a 4.0, be bilingual, and have health care experience, and end up waiting for quite some time. i belie...
