NCSBN and KAPLAN content

Well for me I thought ncsbn was very good...they explain why they choose the answer. I read the Kaplan book only and I was thinking I wasn't going to have a lot of time to rethink every question. So for me the ncsbn was much better. If I had money I would have love to try the Kaplan just to see if I could understand it. I took the nclex-pn and I thought the test look like the ncsbn review for sure. There wasn't a lot of questions with long questions...they were a few but most were a few line only . I hope this help you ...good luck

I used NCSBN for test review and rationales ONLY; I used the Kaplan book for helping with test taking strategies.

At this point, your focus should be on question and rationales review; the NCLEX is not content based; it's application based-understanding WHAT the question is asking you.

The main principles in becoming a entry level licensed nurse is:

1. Safe, effective care;

2. Health promotion

3. Physiological Integrity;

4. Psychosocial Integrity.

Review content only if the questions that you review stump you; otherwise, you completed your nursing program; the knowledge is there already; you have to have a comfort and competently APPLY why you know.

Best wishes.

I am using the NCSBN course, I believe that it was the most helpful. I used ATI and Saunders Q &A cd for content. NCSBN make up the NCLEX and what you see on there, is the content that is on the exam. Yes, its overwhelming but try to emphasize answering the questions and understanding the rationales. Also, practice strategies

I purchased both Kaplan and NCSBN when I studied for my NCLEX. After about a week I stopped using NCSBN it's too much information. I used the Kaplan book and Saunders for review. I wasted 50 bucks on the NCSBN.

Well maybe so but for me I started off like that going over everything in the program just to see, then I thought WHY...Then I just did question bank at the end of the program which is about 300 to 500 questions. When I didn't understand I would go back to the beginning to understand .
