How about you?

Hi pitbullcm,

I used Saunders primarily. I mostly did my questions in study mode so I don't what my scores were. The few times I took it in exam mode i think I averaged around 64%, but I passed Nclex.

What else did you use besides Saunders.

I used RN 3500. I read the Saunders book front to back and after each section I did the the questions. But that was over a 4 mth span of time.

i used Saunders and Kaplan, I averaged about 60-70's. Asfor the medications a person in another thread suggested while your looking at T.v write down some of the meds( side effects etc)I think that would help and also try grouping them in cateogries

I started with the Saunders (my study group also used Saunders and a few other books throughout the two years of our program) and then switched to Kaplan's program which I did for about a week. I liked Kaplan and felt like the Questions were a lot like the NCLEX.

My scores in Saunders book ranged from 65 to 100 (on OB/Maternity/newborn which is where I want to go so I had an advantage there). Most scores were in the upper 70's to 80's. Same with the CDs (70-80)

My Kaplan scores were in the 60's. It was frustrating for me to get 60's over and over even though I knew those were decent scores for Kaplan.

I passed the NCLEX in 75

I do 100 questions per day, and I've been getting high 70's to mid 80's everyday. I just hope that this is enough along with my reviewing! I have dreams every night that I pass, I'll find out soon enough though. Thanks for everyone's replies.
