More challenging NCLEX book!

[saymo82]

I have the Saunder's NCLEX review book, and I feel like the questions are not challenging enough. I used these questions to review for my HESI exams at the end of last semester and figured it would be decent preparation for the questions on the exams. I was wrong... the HESI questions were way more challenging, and I while I did well on my HESIs I left wishing that I had had a better NCLEX prep book- something that more closely represents the actual questions. I feel like the Saunder's questions are quite obvious, even with material I have not been taught yet. There are no questions where I feel like 2 of the answers could be correct and I must pick the best one. So, I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a more challenging NCLEX review tool. I just want something that it is closer to what I am going to see in real life so I don't get a major surprise when taking the actual exam!

Thanks in advance :)

I would recommend Exam Cram because the test question format is similar to that of the NCLEX...it also has a CD that comes with a mock NCLEX examination, that will tell you whether or not you're in the passing or failing range.

NCSBN's website has 3-15 week sessions for online questions...they're the ones that create questions for the NCLEX

Last but not least, Kaplan course (whether it be live or just the QBank) had more difficult questions I was looking for. I stopped doing Saunders because I found that Kaplan was more challenging
