Hi
I just re-took my NCLEX RN after 17 years off duty being a mom. I got a bunch of review books but the best thing I did was an online Saunders interactive review. I think it was $59.00 and it was totally worth itThrough a website called Evolve.). You take a pretest and from that they fashion the course by your weaknesses. At the end you take an actual CAT type test. My test stopped at 75 and so did my NCLEX RN and I passed. You can even choose how long you want the material spread out and they make a calendar for you. I highly reccommend it!

Thank You so much for responding to my story. I just took my Ncclex last Tuesday, July 14th for the second time and I have passed. After Fail, the first time, I took the Kaplan program and worked on it online for about 6-8 hours per day except Sunday. I have succeeded at my goal and can't wait to start working now. So very happy and will never let my license lapse again....
