plenty has been written on here on what suited each person. Saunders is a good book, some liked Kaplin and others found NCSBN a good website

for suggestion, il suggest use the sticky on this forum called suzanne's plan.. read the thread and learn how it is done.
its all up to you weather youll fit in to that type of review but youll read alot of positive feedbacks here in allnurses using that plan.
i used it and passed my nclex with 75q

i do suggest utilizing the kaplan's strategy books in nclex. i am certain that it would be of great help to you. focus on the strategies rather than the bulk of informations in the books. for in the great run if the exam would give away questions concerning those which are not tackled during the exam or even on those books that you've read, the strategies would be your last resort. goodluck guys!

Same as BanzaiPipelineRN............I used NCSBN combined with Suzanne's plan (Saunders book and CD), I passed with 75 questions. I studied for 2.5 months and did at least 100 questions per day. NCSBN questions are what you'll see on NCLEX (not word for word, but it is that same format). To strengthen your content knowledge, Saunders has everything you need to know about basic nursing. Good luck.
I thank you all for replying to my query and for adding some insights as to how i will take the exam...
I find all of your words useful... I already started my self-review and see to it that i will be able to utilize the resources you mentioned...
God Bless and More Power...
