best nclex cd program?

Published

Hi all,

I was just wondering what everyone can recommend as being the best cd program that will give me challenging nclex questions? I heard kaplans qbank were challenging and that saunders was good too? I failed the nclex my first time and am worried that the questions i was doing from nclex 3500 were too easy. Any suggestions are much appreciated!!! thankss

I passed with 75 questions in 40 minutes. I used Kaplan Q-bank, with the occasional day of NCLEX 3500 when I was tired of staring at Kaplan. But my hard core studying came from the Kaplan Q-bank.

i passed the first time with the minimum amount of questions and i used saunders nclex-rn comprehensive review. I worried more about knowing my content. After two months of intense reviewing, I only used the CD for maybe a week or two to do practice questions. It's helpful because you can set it up for whatever content you want to cover (renal, endocrine, medications, etc.).

Definitely Kaplan! The qbank is really hard, but once you complete it, you'll be ready! Plus, they have a money back guarantee. The questions really get you in the mindset for answering the NCLEX Q's...the tests are even set up like the NCLEX.

Many people use Kaplan if you can afford it.

I was lucky, my school required it. It was included in my tuition.

Well,

I didn't do Kaplan..too expensive...I did a content review and questions from Saunders (the medication sections are extremely helpful!) and i purchased the learningext.com questions from the NCSBN, those questions were similar to NCLEX and I used NCLEX 4000, i think their SATA questions were similiar to NCLEX

This is for "cbwcm8". I have been doing the NCLEX 4000 also. Plus my program required us to do ATI and I have been doing that. Did you think that the NCLEX 4000 questions were too easy? Some of them were I thought. You also mentioned that the questions on there were similar to the NCLEX. I hope so because I really like the questions on there.

I personally don't think they were too easy. The questions had really good rationales and the alternate format questions had similar topics and answers to those on NCLEX. I don't feel like any questions are too easy, bc if you are reading rationale and learning content in the mean time then it is helpful either way.
