My school "offers" the ATI live review in 2 weeks. it's a $275 fee which is steep considering our NCLEX registration fee is due around the same time. I didn't even realize it was a choice not to take it until recently, but was determined to find a way to cover the expense so that I could take it.
Last night I got a 96% chance of passing the NCLEX on the first try which made me wonder if maybe i didn't need to shell out the almost $300 dollars, but the last thing I want to do is go through all this and then NOT pass the NCLEX for some measly 300 dollar course. so conflicted.
Then someone in the class posted the link for the NCBSN review which is significantly more affordable AND written by the same people that actually do the NCLEX. now i'm REALLY torn!!!
Any advice?!?!
thanks!!! :)

NCBSN was spot on for my RN exam.
A heads up though-I bought it three weeks before my exam. The written review info is MASSIVE. I ended up just doing the questions and reading the rationale each day before taking the exam. Some of them I would swear I had seen before while taking the NCLEX. Well worth the small price.
that's really helpful! thank you!
