Hi! I am currently waiting to receive my Eligibility for my NCLEX-RN Exam. I understand that it's going to take a few more weeks/maybe months. While waiting for that, I am planning on Reviewing Content with the use of Saunders Comprehensive Review since I've heard that it's Good. I have the Saunders CD and the Kaplan NCLEX-RN Strategies, Practice and Review Book & CD.
After reading the threads, I found out Kaplan's Q-Bank does help too. I am planning on purchasing that, but would need some suggestions if it's all worth it?
Thank You! :heartbeat

I am anxiously awaiting the results of my NCLEX exam which I took on 12/08 so keep in mind that I haven't passed...YET.
That said....I think the Kaplan course and Qbank is well worth the $$$. I plowed through all the Kaplan question trainers and the Qbank and was bummed when I ran out. I started using the Exam Cram online question bank that I found (from a link on here) and that was good too but I liked the Kaplan questions better. The course really helps with the strategy of how to break down the question. I also dabbled in the Saunders CD and the Lippincott 4000. Going through question after question and reading rationale, right or wrong, was the most helpful to me.
Good luck to you!!

Hello. What edition of Saunders did you use? Thank you.
I used the 4th edition of Saunders but honestly I didn't use it that much. I looked up things to clarify but did not read it cover to cover. I did like the LaCharity book very much. I think that is a must have :) At the tail end of my studying I saw a copy of the Exam Cram book at the library and I sort of wish I would've had that from the start. It dumbed things down a bit. From what I saw I liked it.
