Are the questions from Hurst a LOT easier than the real deal?

I didn't take the hurst review but from what I've hear from people is that Hurst is more a "fun" review and their pass rates aren't that great. This is just what I heard I can't tell you from experience, but from people that I know of who did hurst and only focused on hurst their outlooks were so good, try grabbing books..Saunders, Kaplan, ATI, NCLEX made incredibly easy, Exam Cram, NCLEX 4000 I heard was great too

The Hurst Review is excellent....the online review helped me prepare (and pass in 75 questions!) when I decided to return to nursing 15 YEARS after graduating. Marlene is an OUTSTANDING educator, and breaks things down very simply and give you little tricks to help remember things. The main focus of the Hurst review is on learning the core content, not on test taking strategy.
There is SOME strategy, and that being said, the 'sample questions' she gives are a bit easier than the actual NCLEX questions....I think the point is to test you on things you'll KNOW....so you can see how easily you can be misled into reading too much into the question and missing it!
