Hello everyone,
If you really want to pass the NCLEX, and be fully confident that you can do it, then you HAVE to take the Mark Klimek NCLEX review. It might be a bit of a drive, but it's worth it! I just got back from his class and feel very confident that I can pass the NCLEX. His review is a weekend chock full of NCLEX strategies and invaluable advice on what NCLEX test writers are looking for (and he speaks from personal experience ). I wish I had taken this the first time I took the NCLEX, I would have passed it on the first try. However, haven taken the NCLEX once, I could say with 100% certainty that what he teaches REALLY DOES help you pass the NCLEX.
If you are in the Cleveland, OH area, you know that there are not many options in NCLEX review. Kaplan is ok but not very personal (they are a standardized company, teaching about a standardized exam...I'm not good with "standardized" anything, some people are though). The second option...well, if you're cool w/ being demeaned, verbally abused and, told how "dumb" you are then that might be an option for you. I'm not good w/ confidence killer, I need a confidence builder. Also, just doing 100's of questions w/o REALLY knowing why I keep getting things wrong, doesn't sit well w/ me either. Oh sure, I can be told that it's the right answer, but I NEED to know WHY is it a right answer in question 309 and then question 558 comes around and now I'm wrong
Mark Klimek erases the "mystery" out of NCLEX and leaves you feeling good about yourself, refreshed and confident that you know what you are being asked. Even if you have to spend $50 for gas and two nights @ a hotel/motel (go w/ friends and split a room)...IT'S STILL CHEAPER!!!! And, most importantly, YOU GET A LOT OUT OF IT!!! it's all about CONFIDENCE, CONFIDENCE, CONFIDENCE that you can do it. When I came back home, I reviewed what I learned in class (you come home w/ two very helpful books), applied it to the ATI and Kaplan exams and I scored higher than ever!
I know this is a long post, but I'm so excited to know that there are options out there and, I feel that everyone should be aware of this great resource!
Good luck everyone
