Hello everyone,
To those of you who took NCLEX or know anyone that did, are the Kaplan review questions similar to the actual NCLEX questions? And it's so confusing because I bought Kaplan and Hurst review to go over content as well as questions and I always get conflicting stories as to whether I should focus on content or questions? Any of you have any advice? Feed back is greatly appreciated! ?. So nervous!
Thanks in advance!

That is dependent on whether you have a strong understanding of content and good critical thinking skills. Kaplan looks like the NCLEX but IMO is a lot more difficult.

I used both Kaplan and Hurst. If you feel that you are weak in content then Hurst is great. I felt that after doing all the Kaplan questions it increased my critical thinking which helped me greatly in the NCLEX. I suggest going over 1-2 chapters of Hurst a day and do questions over those topics that you studied.. Good luck!
Thank you all for your input. :) I've been diligently doing both! With Kaplan I got a 68% on my diagnostic test and my scores and just decreasing, On QT 4, I got a 48%!! Ugh. Feeling discouraged.
Are you viewing the videos for the areas that you are having trouble with?
I watched every video twice, and I got a 63 on the readiness test!!!
And I passed nclex today!!!!
(Well good pop up)
I love Kaplan!!!!!
