Does anyone know what the best CD for studying for the NCLEX is?

I bought the NSNA review book for the NCLEX and it came with a CD. I like to review the questions on my laptop for about 20 minutes each night while I am in bed.

I heard that Saunders makes the best NCLEX review book, does it come with a CD?

Re: NCLEX CDs

The Saunder's CD has worked really well for me. The questions are tougher than some of the other sources I used, and I like the detailed rationales given. I also inherited a copy of the NCLEX 3500, which has been a nice review as well.

Re: NCLEX CDs

i used nclex-4000 which is a newer version of nclex-3500.....if you can get hold of some kaplan questions on a cd or register for the question bank it is well worth it...very similar to nclex style of question.

Hey Nicole I am testing on July 17. I feel ready but f course no one ever feel 100% ready. I am using many resources to study including the RN 3500 Nclex review software. Do you think that it is worth to buy the RN 4000 just for questions for the remaining 7 days before the test? You seem to agree that RN 4000 looks similar to Nclex style of questions...

Thanks

Re: NCLEX CDs

I bought the Saunders Q&A book which has a CDROM that I've used. I like it, it has alt. format and you can bookmark ?'s that you want to go back to. I'll let your know how good it is in about 4 days when I get my results!!!

noooo dont go by the 4000 cd if you already have the 3500...the 4000 is just a newer version......how is your studying going are you finished with content reviewing and answering just questions or both?

My study is going well. I am almost finished studying. I am going to spend the last week just doing questions and reviewing few meds. Other than that I am really confident that I'll do well. I got so many info and tips from this forum and it's been an additional study tool...
I am testing on July 17 at 2:45 pm here in Chicago. (I am not a morning person). I am starting my orientation on August 3rd. I'll be working in MICCU! Wish me good luck! Where are you going to work in NC? Raleigh or Salem? One of my friends works a Duke...

Re: NCLEX CDs

nclex 3500 cd's doesn't have an evaluation of your performance after you took certain practice tests.
Saunders newest version is very much helpful especially with the alternate type of questions. It's quite tough especially with SATA.
Kaplan's questions are the hardest questions that i've encountered.

Re: NCLEX CDs

i still think that passing the nclex is not based on what book or cd to practice on, it would still depend on your determination and drive that you will succeed in the exam.
