Just a little update on my studying: I am planning to take the Kaplan classroom course in July so for now I am using my results from the Kaplan workbook Test CD and studying my weak areas. I use the correlating chapters in the Kaplan workbook and any content I'm not sharp on, I review in Saunders. I have access to the QBank online so I practice questions from the specific content area too. Its going to be very tedious but I feel like I will cover what I need before I walk into the classroom course. Good luck everyone!:redbeathe

I will be taking the test in August also. I signed up with Kaplan a weeks ago, and will be using Saunders for content review as well. So far I feel like I know absolutely nothing! I failed the hesi with a 648 score and feel like passing the NCLEX might be a daunting task with such a low hesi score. I am scoring in the 59 range for the kaplan trainers and qbank tests but I was told that is not good enough and need to bring it up to the 65 range minimum. Weaker area is psych, especially those drugs! I will try to do at least 2 (50) question test per day and review contents. I am hoping to feel more confident as I move closer to the exam but for now, I am scared, :lol2:. Thanks for starting the thread.

I am a repeat test taker planning to retake in August too. I am still waiting for my test report but in the mean time I took the pretest on the Saunders CD and I am studying pharm right now as that was the area I had the greatest need according to the Saunders pretest. I am thinking about taking the Kaplan course also but not sure. Any advice? Good luck to everyone!

I am hoping to test the end of August. I graduated May 13th, but have a short summer semester to finish up. I will be officially done July 31st. I have a friend who said the earliest she had heard anyone get a test date was 3 weeks. That sounds good to me. I want to be DONE!
