i scheduled for live KAPLAN review (this week)
i have done the qtrainers, some qbanks and watched most of the LOD.
has anyone taken the review (KAPLAN alone) and passed the NCLEX?
i am very anxious right now. im so stressed with the NCLEX that im confuse where to start fully concentrating on a cetain topic. i have been jumping from from one lesson to another.
did the live review (KAPLAN) helped anybody at all or do i need to enroll to other live reviews like HURST or EXCELL.
thanks. replies are highly appreciated.

2 of my friends swear using Kaplans decision tree saved them on the NCLEX. I just took mine Friday so I can't speak for myself until I get my results. The format on the actual NCLEX is IDENTICAL to the QBank format which was kind of comforting.

I am also reviewing with Kaplan. I have heard mixed reviews about it, but I think their questions will be most similar to the NCLEX. I have other review sources, but their questions seem so easy.

@lasvegas.
you see my dear, a lil bit of anxiety is needful for success. it is ok to be anxious, but one thing u may want to ask yourself is, what is the anxiety producing for you?
Staying focus is a decision one has to make. my advice? to get yourself started, do the Kaplan diagnostic test. get to know if u dont know already areas of strength and areas of weakness. WRITE THEM DOWN.
you can tackle them in this wise:
1. study and do questions on the areas of strength first and get it over and done with in the shortest possible time
2. commit the rest of your time on the areas of weakness till abt a week to the exams doing lots and lots of questions
3. Fianlly, do a general review.
I mostly say that it is not about how much you study but how much you absorb
no review is bad no review is good. it all depends on YOU. Make the best out of what you have, you will be FINE.......
Shalom!!!!!
