Hey everybody. Usually I score a 65 on both A and B, for some reason on the actual exam It varies between an A and a B.... Health Differences - A, Reproductive A, Chronicity B, Transitions to RN B, Lifespan 1 A. For some reason I do better on the actual exams. I usually study all the rationales, right or wrong from both tests. Then make a list of main topics that appear on both and restudy that from Saunders. Also do Saunders practice questions cause those are similar to the ones that appear on the actual tests. I am taking LS2 this Thursday and then LS3 on the 25TH so I can register to the FCAA on the 29th to do it online with the new format. Any other hints on LS2 would be appreciated!, Is it easier than LS1? I found LS1 to be the hardest one out of all the exams I took, I am not a cardiac/respiratory person I guess. Good luck to everyone out there. Oh and I also use flashcard exchange to print out flashcards.
I hear a lot about students using Saunders. I have 2 test left and was considering getting one as it could help with preparing for NCLEX-RN. So my question is, do you use this for all exams you have taken and how helpful would you say it is? Thanks and good luck with your studying!
Hey guys! I used the Sunders LPN book religiously through Nursing school and it definitely payed off. I bought the RN Version (I bought it used off amazon for 13 bucks but it is brand new, previous edition since the material is all the same) and I have been using it for all my exams. To be honest I am not even doing all the assigned readings cause I find anything in this book and usually it is right spot on on what you need to focus on learning about that disease process. If there is something very specific most of the times I google some stuff. I passed LS2 with a B. Now I am taking LS3 this tuesday. Certainly helps you get ready for the NCLEX as well. I am looking forward to finishing this program. I started January 2012, this book has certainly expedite my studying. Study group 101 notes are a nice complement to read over too. I am sure some people are saying i am "cookbook studying", I believe in studying efficiently. The title of the book is Saunders Comprehensive review for the Nclex-RN. Good luck and I hope this info helps :)

You are welcome! I will let you guys how it goes tomorrow, keep your fingers crossed and some prayers always help!
Good luck and praying for success! I also ordered the saunders NCLEX-RN on my kindle fire. Great way to review while lying in bed with the little ones!
I got a 60% on first practice exam and 65% on second exam. Got a B on the test so I would say the results are slightly off. I am glad that I took it though because I was very worried about the actual test and think that it definitely helped.
Congrats to all on passing. What have you guys used besides the practice exams and their rationales to pass? Just the Saunders book? Or some other material?
