Kaplan or UWorld?

[MrPopeye]

I have been using Kaplan for quite some time. My grades used to be terrible, but have improved quite a bit. For example, I just took question trainer #4 and got a 70.7. But now that my grades have improved, the rationales seem to be lacking for me. I have read a hit in here about how great UWorld's rationales are and was wondering if I should drop Kaplan and study with UWorld. I test in 13 days. Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! I failed twice and wish I had done UWorld a LONG time ago. Kaplan gives you a lot of strategies/methods, etc. For anyone looking for straight up bad ass questions and rationales, UWorld is your best bet! You can't go wrong with Kaplan though. It's a good system. But their rationales can be lacking.

My grades on UWorld have been at average or better. Has me scared. Wish I had that extra buffer on all test grades. But man! Some of those questions.....I'm like who knows this stuff?!

UWprld is great

it reduces anxiety when you go to take the actual exam

Reduces anxiety?! I'm about to throw up I'm so stressed! I will literally be sitting in front of the computer this time tomorrow.....UGH!

[MrPopeye]

Well, took it today. 75 questions in 2 1/2 hours. PVT is working. I'll keep everyone updated!

Congratulations!!! were you able to finish the uworld in the 13 days??

[MrPopeye]

I had to restart the week trial. I didn't have the time to do all 1700+ questions.

I found out today that I passed my NCLEX-RN exam and its all thanks to UWORLD!!!! I have used Kaplan, Lippincott, Hurst, Exam cram and none of these worked for me. In all of these reviews I did all the questions and even exceeded the scores that supposedly I needed to pass the nclex-RN and I still failed the NCLEX-RN on my 1st and 2nd attempt. A friend of mine told me about uworld and all I could say is, its way better than any other review in my opinion. I loved their rationals, format, and how it compares your scores to the average score that everyone else is receiving. The questions on uworld are way harder than Kaplan and mirror the nclex. On my 3rd attempt at the NCLEX-RN I felt like I was taking another test from UWORLD. All I used for my third attempt was uworld and nothing else, the rationals are very detailed so I didn't even have to look at my sanders book and it explained why the other questions are wrong. I have nothing but good things to say about UWORLD and would recommend it to anyone scheduled to take the nclex-rn!!!!!!
