Does anybody that took Kaplan qbank questions feel like the material that was tested and info giving in rationales feel that they helped when answering nclex questions ?

Absolutely! Because I understood rationales I was able to automatically eliminate certain options during the exam. Kaplan definitely prepares you!

Definitely. I used Qbank for my PN exam and got minimum questions and passed. For my RN exam, I only did about a hundred practice questions out of Saunders, got minimum questions and passed. As long as you understand the question, understand the rationales to the answers, know your infection control precautions and medication suffixes, I'm sure you will do just fine.

Kaplan QBank questions are the way to go. I loved Kaplan QBank questions because, not only did they give important topics that may be shown on the NCLEX RN, most importantly, they train your brain how to eliminate the answers to get to the correct #1 priority answer (Kaplan's Decision Tree). Kaplan was worth every penny.
Now, I understand that Kaplan's FULL program is quite expensive (books, questions, QTrainer tests, etc). This is why you should go to Kaplan.com/nursing and sign up for JUST the Kaplan QBank questions because they have a payment plan where you don't have to pay the full $300 up front, you can pay $100 each month instead. That's what I did. Worth it.
GOOD LUCK!!! You'll do great! And if you're unsuccessful, it's not the end of the world, you can make it, just TRY AGAIN!
