kaplan strategies & review cd

[SNB1014, RN]

i bought the green 2012-2013 edition. i didnt have the money for kaplan qbank, so i got this instead.

to those that have used the cd that comes with the book, does the practice test resemble the qtrainer questions everyone keeps talking about?

i got a 73% on the cd practice test. i didn't know if it was comparable in difficulty.

thanks in advance!

2 weeks before my exam, I read through that same exact book cover to cover, no skipping pages. Answered every single question. That book put all the pieces together for me....taught me how to break down NCLEX questions, how to prioritize, helped me understand the core or what the question is asking, etc. Rationales in that book enhanced my content knowledge as well. I did not purchase kaplan qbanks either. All the best in your studies!

73% is a great result on Kaplan

73% is a great result to achieve on Kaplan. I was getting 70-80% on the Kaplan q-bank and passed NCLEX on my first attempt. I also purchased the Kaplan Medication Handbook of top 300 medications prescribed - just bought it off Amazon.com for about $10, and it was a great resource. I still use it all the time for general info. Good luck.

i was hoping they would resemble the qtrainers, otherwise i was going to be annoyed with kaplan lol
