DID anyone try LEARNINGEXT.COM

I did use this as my last course of study prior to taking nclex. I found it to be helpful in studying and found it to be worth the money. I decided to use it after speaking to a newly licensed LVN who told me it was the only material she purchased to study for the exam and had passed the first try.

Good luck!

I used this for NCLEX study guide. Passed on first try. Very easy to understand and worth the money.

my agency made me take learningext.com program for 1 month i think.

it helped. try it. but i also used lippincott and kaplan. the latter helped me most though. i think if not for these (and loads of divine intervention lol) i may have not passed nclex rn at first try. God bless.

I used learning text for review as well as Saunders alt questions. I liked it, but you do need to get past the typos in the review. I felt it gave me a good review and the price was right. The one thing I didn't like is it didn't give good rationales for wrong answers.

Overall, if you are short on cash I think it is a good purchase. I passed on the 20th with 75 questions using mainly these 2 to study.

I used learningext.com for about1.5 weeks-abandoned it about halfway through. I didn't like the outline format and I found many typos and a few inaccuracies (like saying hypo when it was hyper) which infuriated me-I felt like-how do I know if they are teaching me the correct info or not in any of this? I e-mailed them but never did get a response. My friend who signed up felt the same way, too-found one incorrect item and stopped using it. Agree about the fact that it doesn't address incorrect rationales on the practice question answers.

I passed at 75 questions. I would advocate using the most current Saunders book and cd-rom. You can choose to take an exam using all SATA format-great experience for the nclex-rn-you can see if you have a pattern of checking too many or too few.

I also used Kaplan book and cd-rom-good but not enough test questions.

My job paid for it for the new grads to use if they wanted.. so I signed up and I've just been doing the questions on it - havent read the reviews.

For those that used it - what were some of your scores on the pre-test and random quizzes??? I'm STILL hitting between 60-70% like i do with EVERY stupid quiz/test.

My school requires we purchase it and complete it -- it is actually worth 20% of one of my course grades.

I think the questions are decent (although some of the answers I think are wrong). However, there is no way I would read through some of those outlines -- they are over 100 pages!

I did it for a week right before testing when I was so burnt on Saunders that I wanted to cry, lol. It was worth the $50 imo. I only did the questions, not the review but I felt they were close to the wording on NCLEX. Good luck.
