Hey everyone! I have been doing the ncsbn course to prepare for the NCLEX and was wondering if anyone who had used it and passed found it helpful?
I am on the last question banks and scoring in 50%-73% range and I am freaking out. I am feeling frustrated and anxious and with my test scheduled for tomorrow, I am in real need of some peace of mind!

I thought the NCSBN review was great! Don't worry too much about your scores. Just make sure you read every rationale regardless if you get it right or not.
I used other resources too like Kaplan, Saunders, Lipcotts, ATI, etc.
Best of luck to you! Try to stay calm, I know easier said than done. I was a wreck!
Thanks sooo much! I did exam cram, saunders and 1 kaplan exam and I would do better on those but I felt like sometimes the information conflicted so I stopped. I am a current wreck but hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Hello was NCLEX similar to NCSBN or saundars or LaCharity reviews? Did you feel NCSBN was good review?
Yes! Loved it and totally recommend it! I recommended it to a few classmates and they also thought it was a great review as well. Better than Kaplan! Plus you can't beat that price. $50 bucks for the 3 week subscription.
I passed w/ 75 questions. So did my other classmates minus one had less than 100 questions.
But I would use other review books on top of this review. I used Saunders, Lipcotts, and some other ones I can't remember! Good luck!
