Mark Klimek and When to take him

Hey,

So I have a few options about when to take Mark Klimek, which is who I've decided to take to help me feel better prepared to take NCLEX. My graduation date is early December and I've talked with his people who say they will be having classes in August, September and December. I know that I should probably take his course as close to taking NCLEX as possible, but part of me also says that I should take it with enough time between my course and NCLEX to let the information come together and settle in.

A few of my friends advised to take the course in early August. I start back for my final semester (pets, role transition) on August 22nd. They say it will help and "won't hurt". My role transition, as it stands currently, will be with a weekend option nurse preceptor. So my weekends, which are primarily when he holds this review course, will be shot.

What it boils down to, is do I take it before my semester and hope that it helps with school and I can retain the information for 16 weeks, plus however long it takes to test, or do I aim for September or December and go that route?

The goal is to graduate in December and test as soon as I would be allowed, which due to holidays will probably be early January.
