After taking the ATI predictor exam and receiving a 96% likelihood of passing the NCLEX, I'm trying to decide what study plan is best for me. Here's my thoughts:
- Purchase Kaplan 1 month test qbank
- Read through Kaplan test prep guide
- Skim Saunders content book (brush up on a few areas, look at lab values, etc)
It seems like I shouldn't be spending too much time looking at content at this point? What do you guys think?
I'm planning on taking it mid-June.
Is NCSBN review worth it, or should I just keep doing questions?

NCSBN questions were very similar to my NCLEX exam.
Thanks for the input!! Is the content portion worth it, or just the questions?

PDA by Lacharity and RemarReview on YouTube. PDA is very good! The rationales help too! It gives a detailed explanation. RemarReview makes it easy to understand and gives you tips on ways to remember the information. There were concepts I couldn't understand no matter how much I studied but RemarReview ties it all and makes connections with other disorders. Good luck!

If you took the ATI predictor do you get all the content you had during school? when I took my predictor I got a 99% probability and only used ATI material. I took my NCLEX yesterday and passed. I know many of my classmates who were in the 90's for pass rates and they have all passed too with nothing but ATI. However if you feel you need more the posters before have great ideas!
