Kaplan or Hurst Review for NCLEX?

Published

I am graduating Saturday and I want to sign up for a live review. I actually won the Kaplan review for free at school, but heard Hurst was better? Any advice would be handy. I'd rather spend the money and get the best review than risk it. Thanks!

Kaplan and Hurst differ in what they offer:

Kaplan focuses more on test-taking strategies. It is a great review especially if one has an excellent content knowledge base already. I say this because when I initially attended their review class with very little study preparation, I was totally lost because my content was limited (I graduated years ago).

Hurst focuses more on content and has helped me tremendously. Now, I find it easier to apply Kaplan's test-taking strategies.

Good luck!

I took both Kaplan and Hurst and hands down, Kaplan is better. It's everything that Hurst is plus more! Hurst will tell you that they will teach you everything you need to know (core information), but guess what, so does Kaplan and they have way more info and more practice tests. I hope this helps.

Specializes in ED.

I took Hurst and felt it was a great overall review. I guess I'll know how great in two weeks :)
