I haven't been able to find the 4000 version online, just for purchase. I have used the 3500 online version, and liked it.
Sorry

what is the link to the nclex 3500?

You should use Internet Explorer as your browser, I use Mozilla and it doesn't fully engage like it does with Explorer.
Hope this helps

Dont waste ur time with those ques. They are not analysis/app ques. And do not cover who u going to see first, what person are u going to put where etc...I have the cd bought when it 1st came out used it during nursing school..Help tremendously but when preparing for the boards I used something else...I pass today with 75
Do you recommend any other cds that will be good practice for the nclex or should I just answer alot of questions?

Just get used to answering questions. Make sure you read the rationale and fully understand what is being asked

Very odd indeed....Especially since you can tailor the questions to what your weakness areas of nursing are......I enjoy using the NCLEX-RN 3500.....I do a batch of questions before I leave for work in the am....but when I study after work I am using the Saunders 4th Edition as well as a book on Prioritizing..... I think that it has helped me feel more prepared this time......any questions with the rationale are useful....and its FREE!!!! Not much is these days.....
thank you all for the great advice
