I think it depends on how you learn. Kaplan had a deal with our school so it was part of my tuition to take Kaplan in class. Majority of us went the first day (including myself), and never returned. It could be just my personal instructor, but I took nothing away from the Kaplan classroom sessions. All we did the entire time is go over the decision tree (which I didn't use on the NCLEX and i passed the first time on Monday) and do practice questions. For 6 HOURS!!! Once I saw it was questions all day I was done! lol. I did however do all the qtrainers (scores 64-74%) and majority of the qbanks basically reading the rationales for the right and wrong choices. Maybe others have a different experience than me, but that was mines. :)

depends how you learn i guess. i know people who only had the on demand and passed in minimum questions. like the user above, our school had a deal w/kaplan and the live review was already paid for in our tuition. it was mostly going through questions using the decision tree and once again like the above user, i rarely used the decision tree on NCLEX. the live review was slightly helpful just in the fact that it reviews things you forgot and there some random tips they give aside from decision tree. a lot of my NCLEX questions were similar to q bank and q trainer questions, so i suggest doing all of them and reading the rationales. live review isn't really necessary. even the kaplan instructor said that passing first time is most indicative of the student doing ALL of q bank and all the question trainers and remediating. i took NCLEX on 6/19 and found out today that i passed. i had a little over 100 questions.
