RNtweetybird 12 Posts Jan 7, 2016 Read my post:https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/passed-rn-nclex-1027879.htmlI suggest doing Hurst online and repeatedly review the Fill-in book as well as the resource pageComplete the Hurst questions then move onto the free two week NCLEX rn trial you should reach a level 8 on all the exams, don't waste your time on the quizzes. Do at least 50-300 questions during those two weeks (exam-mode)Last but not least NCLEX rn UWORLD which allows you do think higher then the NCLEX exam. Try the free one week trial and extend the trial to however length of time you need. I used tutor mode most of the timeOverall I did 3500 questions in 2.5 months, using all three resources also including 5 chapters from the PDA book. I wanted to use different programs and not just settle for one.

LDAthleteNurse, BSN, RN 407 Posts Specializes in Labor and Delivery. Jan 9, 2016 Hurst review was the way for me. Great content foundation. Passed in 75 on first try.
RNtweetybird 12 Posts Jan 9, 2016 I did content first with Hurst then questions totaling 3500 from hurst, passpoint then UWORLD. I read from Saunders intro in their book that its best to do 3500-4000 questions before NCLEX.
