Has anyone done the NCSBN online review? If so, did you find it helpful.
I have done the Kaplan review and it didnt help me personally. I have heard about Suzanne's Plan. And it involves using Saunders Review book. But i have been using Lippincott, as recommended by Kaplan instructors for additional questions outside of Kaplan. I have heard to stick to one thing as to not get confused. But I'm confused now because i dont know whats best to use. And i dont want to confuse myself by using several books to review.
In need of some serious feedback.

I was required to do it in nursing school and did not find it helpful at all. If you refer to the NCLEX discussion forum, there are quite a few threads on NCSBN, Kaplan, etc. :)

I think the practice questions available in that review are very helpful. I encountered many questions on the actual NCLEX similar to the ones in the NCSBN review.

I think that the NCSBN practice questions are closer in style to the actual NCLEX than any other review. I did Saunders and Kaplan test bank questions too.
Just my opinion.:icon_roll

The NCSBN question were very similiar to the real thing I thought. Their review just helped me get more familiar with those style of questions.
I also highly recommend the Saunders review because I think that helped me most of all....I did about 50-100 Q's a day (probably 2.000 questions total) and I read each and every rationale because you need to know that. I would recommend Saunders over NCSBN.
I passed my first time with 75 questions.

I found the review questions on the NCSBN review to be very helpful. I like that it's online because I lose interest with books very quickly, but I can sit in front of a computer for hours for whatever reason.
The NCSBN review is at http://www.learningext.com under the Students tab.

This thread is being moved to the NCLEx Forum where it is more appropriate since it is specific to this one exam.
Thanks for your understanding on this.
