anyone use Saunders NCLEX for study guide?

I've been using both Kaplan and Saunders NCLEX study questions. I take my LPN boards 10/3 and very nervous. So far most of my classmates have passed their boards. I like the Saunders NCLEX questions better compared to Kaplan.

I used both Saunders 6th Ed., as well as the Kaplan QBank app. I sat for the RN exam and passed in 75 questions.

I liked Saunders, and the rationales they give after answering each question - I liked how there were thousands of different questions with alternate formats, as well as them being online. To me, it almost felt like I was taking a test. I, like you, preferred using Saunders.

The Kaplan QBank was my favorite app for on the go study. I liked how they gave rationales for each answer choice, it was really helpful. The only thing I didn't like about it, was that there weren't any alternate format questions. (I realize that it may be because I was cheap, and only used the free version.) Anyway, they questions were timed, and I had mixed feelings about it. Yes, I know you shouldn't spend a lot of time on one question, but I'd look up for a second, and time ran out. Then again, it sort of felt like your were going into "test mode" (being timed, I mean). Other than that, I liked it.

Overall, the decision is yours, and how you feel about each program. They both have good qualities, and both offer great NCLEX prep questions. My personal advice would be to go with what you most feel comfortable with!
