Does anyone recommend Prep-U?

Hi guys,

I am a little overwhelmed. I have taken the NCLEX twice and have failed.

I have used Saunders, Kaplan, and Exam Cram. So I am running out of material to study. I've read some of the forums about prep-u, but I really want to know if it has helped anyone pass.

I am in between prep-u and NCSBN 5 week program. So please help me out.

PS: I got up to 75 questions on the first test. I was very nervous and did not feel prepared. On the second test, I felt a lot more confident with the material and unfortunately, ran out of time at 257. Once I finished, I started crying because I knew the consequences of running out of time.

    I don't know much about prep-U because I just bought the 2-year course online. I used NCSBN 5 weeks course and it was great for its price. I did not use their content b/c it was very overwhelming, but I did use their questions. They are similar to NCLEX, but I think Kaplan questions are way closer to NCLEX, but again I cannot say much b/c I did not pass on my first try. I am preparing myself for the 2nd attempt in August. Good luck :-)

    Do you really need a class or do you just need to do endless amounts of practice questions. I would say probably the latter.

    My school recomended we ONLY do prepu to study for NCLEX

    Told us once you reach a 7.0 level on it, that youre in excellent shape for the boards with a VERY high chance of passing

    depending on the person thats likely roughly 4000-8000 practice questions

    I didnt do that many, but havent taken my boards yet either
