Not sure which one is best for your needs. Below is info on each one.

Kaplan - great test taking strategies, need to know basic content first

ATI- free from my school, gave lots of sample tests, and it was great in narrowing down my weak points so I didn't have to study everything. It also had focused reviews.

Hurst-great content. Does not cover all of content, but it breaks up the material in easy to understand information. It helps one to understand what is happening and how to think with the process. Gives 6 test banks that you can use once. May need additional questions elsewhere.

Feuer- content cd lectures about 32 hours. Covers most of the content needed. Gives paper copy test questions. Does not give focused reviews or tools to focus on weak areas.

Davis-RN Succcess NCLEX- cd is great. Let's you concentrate questions on weak areas.

ATI Virtual - (I have not done this one) Heard that it gives a person a break down of what they need to study, and a tutor. I have seen comments that some say it is great, and helped students to pass. I saw a couple of comments where the student says the tutor was not that great of help, but at the same time have heard of tutors that were great. One student commented that all students in her class that took the ATI virtual all passed the exam.

I like Hurst, Feuer, ATI, and Davis NCLEX success.
