You are doing the right thing. Spend a little bit more time with the content if you are weak on that topic. It is easier to answer Saunders if you have refresh the content first. When you read the rationales relate them with what you understood from the content you just read or stored in your memory bank.

I approached saunders systematically - system by system. For NCLEX, I did the whole CD, making sure I knew the rationale and strategy for every ?.

Yes, it was time consuming (took 2 wks), but I knew the material. Studying the content of saunders was all I did, with the exception of OB. I read my text on the subject b'cuz that was my weakest area.

I've written about my NCLEX experience in this forum. Check my previous posts for more detailed information

Since you say that you are aware of a language problem, give yourself added time to do this. Do not cut yourself short. There is nothing wrong with taking more time to work on it. Your method of study seems to be good. If you are satisfied that you are learning the material, then stick with it. Time will tell. Good luck.

I have the green saunders book. You can do the 75 questions which is the assessment. It will give you a study schedule to print out. You could study that way also. I KNow several people who studided that book and passed the Nclex the first time. Im done school 2morrow. I will be using that book and the cd. Goodn luck too you.
