Has anyone tried NCSBN for review?

Published

I used Kaplan in the past as a review for NCLEX, I didn't pass. Has anyone used NCSBN as a review while preparing for the NCLEX? I've seen it mentioned by others that are preparing for their NCLEX RN and I was wondering about their success.

Seems most of the people who have used this review recommend it.

i have used it ,,but havent taken my test yet,,well the theory is abstract and not detailed,,,also they only offer the rationale for thr correct answer and do not explain why the other options are incorrect,,,so i did not like it much....

I bought this- I am a Canadian RN who's taking the NCLEX soon. I opted for the $50, 3-week version.

I will say that I don't think the 3 weeks is sufficient time to review the entire contents of the course.

Pros: quite thorough in terms of theory- nicely devided in subsections so you can focus on areas of need and skip areas you're stronger in (or not).

Cons: not enough Q/A and tests for my liking. It was more of a pre-test and post-test situation, whereas I think I benefit more from Q & A's.

NCSBN is good for question/answers....I just wish it had more of them! Their content is vague... :-(
