kaplan qt vs. lippincott vs. exam cram

So I found free kaplan question trainers online and I started doing them, but I'm getting really discouraged. Is this how the NCLEX really is? I did all the exam cram questions and felt a lot more confident after that! What about lippincott? I was thinking of moving on to that instead of Kaplan....I'm just getting confused where the best questions are for practice! I have too many resources and not enough time to complete all of them! I've learned a lot from doing questions, but the more questions I do, the less I feel I know! :-(

KAPLAN is the B-E-S-T, QTrainer 1-7 and Practice Test. I took it Last Friday and I'm still waiting for the result. I know I didn't do good but I'm crossing my fingers :(

You have to know the concepts no matter which book with questions you use so don't get yourself any more confused than you need to be. Study the material. If you don't like the book you are in, buy another and go through both of them.

I know the concepts (or at least I thought I did). It's just that with some materials I come out feeling like I know more and some I feel like I know nothing! Is that normal? I also just want to soak in as much information as possible that's relevant to NCLEX, but am trying to remind myself it is impossible to know everything.

There are fans of each. Personally, I liked Kaplan. I waited ten years to take the NCLEX and basically decided to take it before investing a lot of time studying so that I would know what I needed to work on most. I posted everything I did on these forums way back then but basically I did the question trainers and the pre/readiness tests then reviewed the rationales as the bulk of my studying. I passed my first attempt in 75 questions. I'm smart and I got a great education but I really didn't expect that after a ten year gap and so little prep.

My sister failed the first time... but she used some thing else... old version ...

She used Kaplan for the past three months.. took the exam on Mar 10th and stopped @ 150 questions... she said it was not hard... only few questions were hard... also many questions from the Kaplan came on the test..

And She passed !!

So I recommend to use Kaplan
