Hi nicole,

I def. wouldn't stop with Kaplan. The questions have alot of good content in their rationales and expose you to a broad range of material exactly like the NCLEX. I would not however limit myself to just Kaplan. I only did 50-100 q-banks a day. I also used Saunders, Lacharity, and Mosbys. Study your Meds by suffixes and Category and know those Lab values like the back of your hand. hope this helps -Dave

hey david,

im hoping you get this but if not no worries! i was looking at your post again about passing the second time and noticed you used kaplan again. i too used kaplan my first attempt and failed and am using it again because i think the questions are challenging. im having mixed feelings about using it again because i feel like i should know the answer to most questions because ive done it before. but i know the first time i didn't really emphasize reading the rationale because i didnt realize that was important the first time. so this time around im wondering did you find kaplan as helpful for the 2nd time around?? the first time my scores were ranging in the 50s-low 60s now its mid50-high60s.


hopefully you understand what im trying to say. anything would help! thanks!! congrats again!
