Thats what I'm taking right now. I like it , but the problem is doesn't cover some topic. So how's the test? Is it more on objective type or situational??

Any review is going to be helpful if you put the required amount of work into studying and learning the material. Good luck.
I like hurstreview because its cover only the problem/DSE and the nursing intervention. My only concern is how come it doesnt cover the other dse/disoder like for exam the SLE, osteoarthritis, etc.?
I believe that it covers the most important things you need to know in order to pass the test.. this is what she says herself in the lectures.. Nclex knows that we just graduated and doesn't expect us to know every thing or master all the information, nclex just wants us to provide a good and safe care for the patients and not kill anybody ...they want to make sure that we know how to handle the situations and prioritize...
I am doing the sounders practice test questions right now and have not done the hurst questions... I listened to all the lectures and have studied and taken great notes from the lectures...the lectures are helping me answer the practice questions so well..I have really understood the contents and the rationale behind every answer by doing hurst rvw.. my friend is the one who suggested it to me and she passed the test the first time by doing hurst only...
OK thanks :) Good luck to us!
Did you pass by just studying her review?

I took Nclex thrice and tried Kaplan, NCSBN and Hurst and failed. I think here's my own opinion: NCSBN is good in Q&A's (very similar with the actual Nclex), Kaplan is good in strategies, and Hurst is good with content. Took Hurst on my third try and it really raised my grades.
