[DoNotLoseHope]

Did the Kaplan strategy tree work for anyone during there RN state board? did it even work during your studies? For some reason it doesnt work with me.

I hated that class and was so upset that I wasted my money on it . It did nothing for me.. others have said it worked for them but not for me.

I do not feel I wasted my money on the class, because paying money for it gave me the online quizzes and practice tests and I took every last single question possible in those. I literally had NO unanswered questions left by the time it was time to take state boards.

However, I did not once use the decision tree, either in studying or on state boards. I didn't "get" it, and the more I tried to manipulate the questions with it the more confused I got. So I didn't even use it on state boards, and I passed with 75 questions - BUT I do sincerely believe that their online practice material is the reason I passed state boards. I do believe the class is worth it for that reason.

justEnuff: do you have any advice or tips on passing the test?? thank you

I found the decision tree to be very confusing. I would end up getting answers wrong when using the tree while studying. I did not use it at all when I took the NCLEX and passed. The only thing I did find useful was how to prioritize by using the ABCs and Maslow. All in all, I really didn't care for it.

So your best advice it ABCs and maslows? any other tricks of the trade?? i need all the advice and help i can get. thank you

btw: do you think over studying or getting to detailed with studying can just confuse a person and overthink the question???
