Since I graduated mid December, I've been using Prep U (since my school uses it) to study until last week, when I got a trial of Passpoint. Before my trial ended, I was ranging from mastery level 6 - 8.
I tried out U-World because I recently heard of it and wanted something to keep me sharp until Jan. 6 (NCLEX Day!). I take a test and promptly get a 40% score.
Am I even ready for the test? I don't know anymore. I feel like I'm only retaining general knowledge and don't know anything deep enough. Now the test is around the corner and I'm panicking!
I guess I'm asking:
1. Has anyone used any of these sources?
2. What were your scores with these sources before passing NCLEX?
3. Does anyone else feel like they only have surface knowledge?

level 6-8 on passpoint is great! don't look at the scores, keep studying until your exam. Good luck! where can I get a trial of Passpoint?
I got mine through my Lippincott Q&A Review book. I really enjoyed it. It wasn't super easy, but it wasn't super difficult as well. I also felt like it taught me more critical thinking than u-world is currently. Hoping that the NCLEX has questions like it. The only reason I didn't buy it instead was because I started to see a few repeat questions, and so I decided I had to move on.
Thanks LinBel!!!

Good luck on test day! I'm still waiting for my auth. to test from Pearson so I can schedule. I LOVE Uworld and I can't stress that enough! The rationales are awesome and I recommend writing them down since you can't copy & paste. I'm also doing the Hurst review and honestly I wish I would have done it even during the program because I love the way everything is explained.

Good luck on the test! Let us know how you did!
I passed! So happy!
I was nervous because everyone talks about how getting more SATA questions meant that you were passing, but I got like 6 or 7 at most and like 3 organizing ones. Haven't gotten results from the center I took it at, but my license is active!

I cryed the whole way home from NCLEX, I only took Kaplan, I didn't study content. I got cut off at 98 questions I'll never forget that number. If you aren't worried after, you probably did bad
