We did a lot if ATI in my school and I definitely think it helped. I had the Kaplan book and did the cd with the 180 questions. I also have Saunders and did lots of questions. I bought the NCSBN but I didn't like it so I didn't do much on it.
I liked the Kaplan book for strategy a lot and just to have access to more questions. I liked Saunders for content and I really like Saunders rationales. I did well in school so I wasn't going to spend money on the Kaplan review course. I probably only averaged 40-50 q a day ( some days more others less). Just doing questions and staying in the mindset and reading every rationale helped me.
I had about 30-35 (maybe more?) SATA. There were a ton. Most if he rest were prioritization. No math and few Meds.
Congratulations and thank you so much for the insight and advice! :) For the Select All That Apply would you say some of them were doable or were they all a shot in the dark so to speak? I have found that many of the Saunders SATA are reasonable but I'm worried the NCLEX will be much worse.

hi everyone! i took my nclex this morning and i got the good popup. i will feel completely relieved once i have my name on the bon website, but this is promising. it shut off after 75 Q and i was so happy. it was tough- literally 30-35 questions were SATA. which i HATE!
just wanted to post because i always loved reading when others posted about passing :) good luck to everyone who still needs to take it!
