Best way to study for NCLEX-PN

Hi, everyone! I'm wondering if I can get some opinions on what's worked best for those who have taken the NCLEX exam already.

I have heard from a couple people who took the Kaplan review course & found it a little extreme & unneccessary. These people felt that they didn't learn anything they didn't already know about how to take the NCLEX exam, what to look for in questions, etc.

I have a couple NCLEX review books w/CD-roms, of which I like Saunders the best. I used her NCLEX-PN review book & CD-rom this entire semester when studying for tests & it really helped. Do you think I would be successful on the Boards if I continued with only the review books & CD- roms and passed on the Kaplan course?

Also, I scored 7 points above the national average on an NCLEX predictor test. One of my instructors told me that's a good sign that I'll do very well on the Boards. But I'm nervous about what to do or not do.

Any suggestions?

Either they passed or they gave up on it. Hope they passed.
