I passed! And How I Did It!

[Chloe25]

Hi everybody, I found out I passed the NCLEX-RN today! I had 75 questions, tons of Priority and Meds, some Infection control, a few Peds, and a couple of SATA, OB and Psych. I just want to wish everybody the best of luck and share my study plan.

I used:

1. Kaplan: I did all the Qtrainers and QBank questions. I didn't use their course book or watch the videos. I found it so boring. My Qtrainer scores were -> QT1-58, QT2-66, QT3-54, QT4-62, QT5-64, QT67. My Qbank scores were in the 50's and 60's; my average was 62.

2. Hurst Review: I really enjoyed these videos to review content. Marlene Hurst is really good at teaching and breaking it down so you can get the big picture with all the disease processes. She also has some very helpful delegation and priority questions.

3. Saunders Comprehensive Review Book: I only did 60% of the quizzes in this book because I ran out of time. I mainly skimmed over the parts that Hurst Review didn't cover.

I studied almost everyday for 5 weeks, about 5-6 hours a day. And I always made sure to read every rationale!

Thanks! I did not use Suzanne's plan. I just did some of the quizzes and skimmed through some of the chapters in the Saunders Comprehensive Review book. I also used Kaplan and Hurst

Did you find the Hurst review to be a good value for the money? I think the online review is $300; I am looking for the best return for my investment.
