For Those Using Saunders ONLY...

i would suggest that you buy a kaplan book. Im doing saunders too but i find the questions very easy compared to kaplan.

i'm sticking to saunders but sometimes i just feel doubtful if it will be enough..so i do some side questions from priority delegation and assignment and also i read other types of questions by different authors..like lippincott etc. i'll be testing at the end of the month.

Which Kaplan book? The most recent one doesnt seem to have all that many questions. According to Amazon it only has one test in the book and one test on the CD. Is that correct?

I take the NCLEX on the 22nd, but I do far too well using Saunders. I get between 80 - 95% of the questions right on Saunders. I get 55 - 65% right using Kaplan.

Which Kaplan? The book from Amazon does not seem to have many questions. Is the only way to get Kaplan questions thru Q-Bank????

Thanks!

I have the Kaplan book and I use QBank. The Kaplan book does not have very many questions -- it has practice questions at the end of the chapter (180 of them) and then the CD also has almost 200 questions. The Kaplan books mostly focus on how to take the exam and gives you hints on how to properly answer NCLEX questions.

I broke down and paid the $299 for the QBank.

I used an older version of Saunders to study with when I failed my exam the first time and this time around I PASSED! I really don't think the books matter alot because there are people who do well with Kaplan and still fail. It just depends on the person. I found most of the Saunders questions to be hard.

Did you pass????

And if I just keep doing those questions over and over will I be ok? Does it matter that my scores are really good now because I have done them so many times I recognize the questions and remember the answers because I've done them so many times?

hi what are you using to study, it appears that it's soo hard to pass in new york.

Vonte - - - harder to passin NY??? I thought the NCLEX was the NCLEX no matter where you take it???

The NCLEX is the same everywhere -- no state is harder than the next state.

It is the same. Different questions but they pretty much ask the same type to everyone. One state isn't harder than any other because the test is NATIONAL.
