I have the content Kaplan book I never used and to be honest after failing so many attempts I am exhausted ( I have done Hurst, u world 3 times, PDA and Kaplan Qbanks) I feel doing questions cant be enough I may need to refresh in contents more.
Should I do Kaplan content review?? and focus on everything? any idea to help me how can make study schedule I want take my exam again before new years?
I am very stubborn to pass and to commit and to be come an RN
Any advises I would really appreciated.

I had the kaplan content book as well, it was very hard to study from, i gave up 2 days in and switch to hurst review. I heard as far as content goes saunders is a must have.
For me i gave up totally on content studying all togather 1 week into studying for the NCLEX. I switch to banks, did all of uworld twice, NCLEX mastery, hurst bank, PDA and random banks online, all togather over 5000+ questions.
For stuff i didn't know i wrote rationales, for you i think you should do hurst review or saunders then go straight into questions. I studied 6+ hours day, when i wasn't studying i was thinking about topics, constantly scheming in my mind.
Studied 2 and half months in total, good luck.
I have studied u world 3 times. my scores were 70-80% I have written rational... I have done hurst review before... last time I took I got full 265 I was happy because I always fail either 75 or 120Q.
I feel either I need to review more contents or focus on strategies too.
If you averaged 70% to 80% on uworld you're definitely fine with content man. My average was 54% and i felt like i knew alot, but perhaps its strategy.
How are you on priority questions?
It could be strategy! I am not sure management conference it gets me sometimes.. but priority I do follow mark klimek strategies comparing stable vs unstable. chronic vs acute. Changed assessment vs unchanged assessment. New admission vs discharged or expected s/s vs unexpected s/s. i have taken my board 6 times and i am exhausted.. i have been scoring 70-80 even 90 percent in management
