It sounds as though you have secured a job. How long do you have to take the NCLEX?

Review the questions and rationales...if you don't understand the rationales, go to the source. Focus on the 4 Categories in NCLEX. Focus on what your weaknesses are.

I suggest using NCLEX exam cards if you are busy. I worked 30-40 hours/week, and two (out of five) of my sources included flash cards.

Make sure your Kaplan Scores are above 60%, closer towards 70% before sitting for the exam.

If you need another source, try the NCSBN and LaCharity as well.

thank you for your input LadyFree28,

I started off with kaplan in 50's now I am in 60's. What helped u the most? Kaplan or NCSBN?

NAM123, both sources have their strengths.

For Kaplan, their strategy on how to approach the exam's questions helped; however, the NCSBN's questions helped me out the most. It prepared me for the style of questions I saw in the NCLEX.

Hey guys,

I was told if we want to just practice alternative questions on KAPLAN we can. Where do I go to do that? I cant find it anywhere
