I took the NCLEX right after graduation, without any studying, and failed. I then took the Kaplan Review Course and failed yet again. I wasn't given any type of refund because it wasn't my first time testing! Their testing strategies help, but they are simply not enough! I personally needed more content review. I suggest using Saunder's Comprehensive Review Book and maybe checking out a Kaplan book for their hints and tips.I am doing kaplan, and because I know that I tend to forget content, I read the book that comes with the course as well as content videos available online.I also bought the kaplan book you buy at the store.It is true that you can't use all the tips, but they are helpful on some questions.Based on a few friends that have taken their exams, it comes down to if you know your material VERY well.so that is what I am doing, reading and questions, reading and questions...
