Where did you hear about it? I've never heard of this NCLEX review course. I did a google search and nothing came up about a NCLEX review course by Amy Lopez. The only thing that came up was a post on here, where someone posted that they took the Amy Lopez review class that day and how amazing she was and how she gave you what to focus on for the NCLEX and makes it easier to remember information and how to answer questions on the NCLEX-RN. But, then the poster goes on to ask if anyone has taken Amy Lopez as a review course for the NCLEX-RN. I'm not sure why someone would make a post boasting about taking the review course and how good it was, but then ask if anyone has taken it? It's weird! (Here's that original post: https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/amy-lopez-rn-963255.html)

I found a post somewhere else, where someone was responding to someone who needed a refresher course, and a person named Andrew Lopez, RN replied and under the name was a website Nursefriendly.com, A National Nursing & Consumer Health Directory. But, again, I couldn't find anything on a NCLEX review course by an Amy Lopez?

What have you done to study for the NCLEX so far? I would suggest answering as many questions as possible, reading every rationale - right and wrong. Reading why the correct options were correct and the wrong options were incorrect - whether you got the question right or wrong. This helps SO much! Paying attention to the key word/subject of each question. Learning to apply principles to answer the questions. I used Mark Klimek's audios and he really helped me learn to apply principles to questions, rather than just memorizing a ton of information. So, the audios for his lectures would help. But really, just answering as many questions as possible is a good way to start!

I have the Mark Klimek audios also but I haven't started listening to it. I'm using PDA and Saunders so far and I also have the Exam Cram but haven't really used it yet

Don't confuse yourself with too many different study material, concentrate on one or two

I listened to Mark Klimek's audios, and I used Saunders and PDA. Like Silverdragon102 said, you don't want to confuse yourself with too much different study material. You just want to answer as many questions as possible and use a good resource. I would suggest listening to Klimeks lectures and then just answering as many questions as possible. That's how I did it.
