Kaplan Class Session/

alovesjos · Jul 4, 2012

Hi! My school has a partnership with Kaplan so we had limited access during school - but after graduation we got the whole thing. We did a 2 week session post graduation and I found the first few days helpful where they explain the tricks and techniques for testing. But most of the course is just going over questions and picking them apart and using the decision tree. So if you are comfortable with the techniques, then you may not need the whole class part. But most important is to do all the question trainers and all or almost all of the qbank and review every single answer. And if you don't know or understand - look it up right away. Saunders is great for content reveiw. Are you re-taking the exam? If so, I would look at what your report says about your testing and look for your weakness and focus on those. And I have heard that if you fail at 75 you need to know content and if you fail at 265 you need to to practice questions. Study some of everything, but focus on your weak areas! Good luck!

Thank you for the reply, I am retaking the exam because I just found out I failed on my first one last tuesday.I stopped at 75 after 2 hours. The first time I took Kaplan, I didnt really finished it. This time hopefully ill finished and be more focused. Im wondering if I should use the content proviided by Kaplan Online? or Should I use SAUNDERS for content.Thank you..Any advise will be appreciated

PS. I PM'd you my study plan (for the last two weeks before NCLEX). Sometimes it helps to look at what you need to cover, write it all out in an organized way - and then just follow it. I tried to lump things together so I got some content reading and questions about the same topic from several sources. Hope that helps!
