hi, I have passed the NCLEX on July,30th.78 questions, 2 hrs.The thing that I wanna share with you is: follow yourself's schedule. because you are the only one who know youself best. one of my classmate who strictly follow the Suzzan's plan failed with 75 questions on July 16.Like mine:I was graduated 14 yrs ago from foreign country, and never worked as a nurse. all I have done are Kaplan trainer ( 7 set ) twice.and kanplan strategy 2008 edition( book and CD ) one time. skim over the Sunders book one time. ( No CD )2--3 hr monday through Friday.half year.believe in youself, you will pass it.
Proverbs 16:3 262 Posts Aug 18, 2008 i hate to write this but you make it sound as if following suzzane's plan will make a person fail. I've read lots of positive stuff about her plan so statistically speaking, it works!Plus, there are lots of reasons why a person can fail the nclex, anxiety being 1, other stupid factors contribute as well.Are you trying to say kaplan WILL make a person pass? i know people who've used kaplan and failed. I know people who crammed the weekend before the exam using the hesi book and passed. I mention that cuz i personally think the hesi book is a joke.What i'm trying to say is that everyone has a different way of learning and some things may work for some people but not for others. Just thank God you passed and don't try to denigrate other study methods, period.

sweetmya 370 Posts Aug 20, 2008 BTW- I don't think she/he was trying to denigrate anyone! Basically, she meant try not to rely on just one study method I guess. Just because 1 person passed with suzannes plan, doesn't mean everyone else will too. Use a study method that works best for u.
