Kaplan or Saunders?

Published

I am going to take the nclex in 2 weeks and i do not know which one to focus on. Some people say saunders, but I find those questions easy. Others say to do Kaplan questions, but I hate doing questions! I do not know if I should be focusing on questions or material at this moment...what's your advise for someone who is working on this last moment. Also what were most of your averages on kaplan q trainers for those of you who passed or failed?:no:

For only having two weeks to go, that's not much time to review content. So, I would focus on answering questions, especially prioritizing and analysis. IMO, I would use Kaplan, since you have so little time. They are both good programs, though.

Hi, I currently have 5 more days left and I for the most part am reading Saunders. I am just reviewing some key facts. I did Kaplan a month ago, but Kaplan qbank not the trainers so I am reviewing my rationals also. I would suggest just do the questions even if you get them wrong you are able to practice for the real exam and also you have a knowledge base from the rationales. I would also read the random facts that they have on here. I printed a few of them and I have studied them also.

Good Luck!!! :nuke:

Hello! I passed my exam and I used strictly Saunders, only because I didn't know much about Kaplan at the time I was studying. Try and get in as many questions as you can. I reviewed content for about 3 weeks and then practiced questions from the Saunders cd-rom for about 6 hours a day for 2 weeks until my exam date. Take breaks once your brain starts turning into mush! Good luck to you!!!

:yeah:
