Anyone take NCLEX recently who used NCLEX-RN 10,000 - Powered by PrepU?

anna722 · May 20, 2013

I take my NCLEX on June 5th, and have been using PrepU since the end of April. I've done over 2500 questions and I feel like it is helping me with critical thinking and prioritization, etc. I am also reading the Saunder's book and only have some Pharmacology and MedSurg stuff left to read over. The questions are really good because I always feel like I have to think about the answer, it's not just a recall of information, but it's not impossibly difficult. I will let you know if it helped me, but I believe it has!

I just found out i passed today! I took the NCLEX yesterday. That program really did help me, the questions on Mastery Level 8 are very comparable to the questions I had on the NCLEX. I got to level 8 on all the Client Needs sections, and ended up doing around 4000 questions. At level 8, I was getting scores between 50-70%, so I was a bit worried, but the level 8 questions I would say were harder than the questions I saw on the NCLEX. I did review Saunders but I believe it was most effective to do questions. I started off with 50 a day, and built up to 150 before the test. I highly recommend doing questions with this program and getting the mastery level as high as possible. If you have any questions let me know :)

Thank you Anna772 thats exactly what I wanted to know!!! Ive maxed out a lot of the content with a 6.2 overall at the moment and have done about 3500 questions, I will do more before I take my test. A lot of the main content is maxed out already at 8, and it's sometimes worrysome when I only get a 70%. So I wanted to know what others thought. I have also done about 750 questions with ATI quizzes as well as many questions with NCLEX books so I'm hoping that I am ready to go at this point. I'm just waiting on my ATT and will take the test ASAP. Thank you so much for your input and Congratulations!!!!!!

Thanks and Good luck with everything! Just continue answering questions everyday, and you should do great! Just make sure you know lab values, and delegation/prioritization :)

Took it today and got the good pop up! Fingers crossed :) finished in 75 questions, and I felt the same way as you, pretty similar to some of the harder prep-u Questions. Thanks again for the encouragement and advice!

It seems like you have access to a lot of questions but this program is a bit different. The questions get harder as you move through them, and I would arguably say that the level 8 questions are harder/at least as hard as the NCLEX questions I got. There are tons of SATA, and I feel this program really did prepare me. Going through the NCLEX, I saw similar themes and topics, and this is the only or one of the only softwares that actually adapts to you.
