How many graduates utilized the Kaplan review???

Kaplan Review is really good if you are more worried about test-taking strategies than boning up on your nursing info. I would suggest doing it, and getting a review book or CD Rom to supplement (NCLEX 3000 is really good for brushing up on your nursing info).

Do both of those, and you probably can't go wrong.

Hi, Im a nursing student who frequents this site daily. I was just wondering how many graduates used the Kaplan review and was it beneficial??? Im sure this information will help a lot of future graduates. Good Luck to all and thanks for all the inspiring stories. :)

I took the review class the monday following graduation... I felt it was very helpful. It reinforced what I already knew and boost my confidence going into the boards. I thought it was worth it. (my two cents )

Good luck to you.

I took the Kaplan review in May. I finished nursing courses May 2003, but had to do 6 makeup clinical days in the fall of 2003, due to health reasons. I feel Kaplan helped me tremendously in both test-taking strategies AND boning up on things I had forgotten or things I wasn't really clear on (like acidosis, etc). For me...it made all the difference in the world! I passed NCLEX June 9th! I would recommend the course to anyone!!!

I did kaplan the second time I took nclex I felt that it helped me with test taking strategy also you need to already know nursing content. It really is helpful.

I used the Kaplan book, and I found it helpful, but I didn't hit any review classes so I couldn't comment on those. But the book itself was great, esp since it had a computerized practice test which at least semi prepares you for the situation in the actual test, kind of.
