I am taking NCLEX June 8th, doing Kaplan over the next two weekends. I was just wondering to all who have taken NCLEX already, which study book was more like the real thing? I have several and don't know which one to really focus on. I was seriously sick to my stomach even scheduling the exam!

Re: Which NCLEX books???

Remember that it is the concept knowledge that will allow you to be able to answer questions. So it does not matter that much which book you use. You have to learn the concepts. Just pick one and go with it. Your time is running out. Are you sure that you are ready at this point? You should have been using a review book a long time ago.

Re: Which NCLEX books???

I would use Saunders for contents and kaplan for questions. I find Saunders questions to be so easy compare to Kaplan. Good luck to you.

Re: Which NCLEX books???

I have actually been studying, but I have about 6 books that I keep going back and forth between, and sometimes it's really overwhelming. I just wanted opinions on which one others preferred so I could focus on maybe 1 or 2.

Re: Which NCLEX books???

If I were you, I would focus on one book to not get overwhelmed. I have developed a 6-week plan starting with my weakness areas.

Going from book to book and getting overwhelmed is sometimes mentioned by people who do not pass. Pick one book and stick with it.

Re: Which NCLEX books???

I agree, pick one book and stick with it but your exam is near, just do Q and A to the computer and just read the topic on the book that you find most difficult with, that's what I did..
