I used Hurst for content review and Kaplan and Learning Extension for questions. SATA are my weakness as well!

I like Hurst. I did used Saunders. But in my case i guess i need additional back-up references like ncsbn learning extension and PDA. I think most nclex examinees weakness are SATA. So we have to work on that more. God bless us.

I sticked to Saunders for q&a's. It helps a lot but it just didn't work for me. So trying on other references is a must this time.

I agree with nalaa: find a book and stick with it. Kaplan is very easy to read. They have good strategies gor figuring out how to answer questions that you do not know the answer to. I wrote out the strategies and referred to them as I took the practice tests until I could do the strategies without looking at them.

Now you know what to expect from the test. Try to relax a little and don't beat yourself up. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!

Thanks a lot. I can do it on my 2nd, i will make it my last nclex! The problem on my first was my time. I did study a lot but i felt it wasn't enough because i have a baby and most of my time was just on her. I did only study on my husband's day off in which he take turns in babysitting. I should have studied everyday. But anyway it was over. Time to start over again and make the most out of it.

I just bought PDA and Kaplan 2012-2013 and will be giving more time on studying. I haven't scheduled for my 2nd/last nclex yet. But my plan will be on June.
