Kaplan review suggestions

[Lemuel_RN]

hello everyone, so I've decided to do a self review because I can't afford the live/online review courses. And I'm Planning to buy PDA( all said that it is a must have), and Kaplan Strategy. I already have the saunders 4th ed& Saunders strategy(blue book), so I have no plan in buying the yellow one

Now, here is my question, which Kaplan book should I buy? the 2012-2013 or the 2013-2014?

any comments/ suggestions is highly appreciated.

thanks kabayans :yes:

Don't buy any Kaplan books. This is my opinion only. I recommend Hursts!! It's the best review, and it's fun. You will learn so much! I have Kaplans review book and it's okay. It will help you while you're falling asleep and reviewing everything you already learned in nursing school. Do Hursts review!! It ties everything together for you and helps with discovering NCLEX tips in a fun way. :)

Hurst goes over basics which is a nice review but Kaplan is best for questions.

It's online lectures (not an actual book). There are PDF print-outs that come with each lecture. Print it before you start each lecture. Each lecture ranges from 35 minutes to 66 minutes. Give yourself the time to listen to all of the lectures and maybe go back after your done and listen to them again. Nclex 3500 is good for practice questions, but spend more time learning your core content.

which edition is best? the 2012-2013 or the 2013-2014?

so how much is that? I can't afford the online review that is 100 $ above

Hi! Buy Saunders for comprehensive review. And PDA for practice tests. Then google nclex 3500 for more questions. It's free. You can use it as everyday test.
