Ncsbn Reveiw Course.

unitedstates · Jul 11, 2008

I'm currently enrolled with NCSBN for a 3 WEEK online study course. Can anyone tell me if a 67-70 percentile on the NCSBN practice exams is good enough to take the actually NCLEX? I'd really love to hear your input about your thots on the NCSBN reveiw..it seems as if I'm the only one enrolled with them since most of the posts on here that I see are with..kaplan...Pls Reply, Your Input is greatly appreciated!!!

I also enrolled in this program. It is a good program. How this program could help you to take the NCLEX, is based on your study habit. I took Nclex on July 7th and still can't find my name on BON web. So, I haven't known yet the result. i called the BON and the gentleman stated that not everybody who pass would see their name on BON web site. The best way to know ......just wait between 3-4 weeks for the result coming in the mail. Good luck for you!

I passed with 75 questions and I used the NCSBN course online (that is what my hospital provided to new grads for free) and I think it was helpful. I did all the alternate format questions and practicing their SATA questions helped me with getting comfortable with them....which you should because your going to see a lot of those on your NCLEX. The practice questions were similar to real NCLEX questions and I actually had 2 that were very similar!

BUt I do think Saunders review is far better....they just have the better rationales. Reading Saunders rationales added to my knowledge base and helped me brush up on topics. NCSBN questions are much more like NCLEX than Saunders, but IMO that doesn't really matter. Saunders CD I did about 2,000 questions. I knew I had passed NCLEX when the computer shut off. I didn't walk away feeling like I had flunked, because I knew I had a good knowledge base and had done over 2000 questions.

All my friends took different review classes or studied from different books prior to NCLEX and we have all passed. I used Saunders book/cd and NCSBN online and passed in 75 questions, another friend did Mosby book and passes in 90, another did Kaplan Course and passed in 75, another Hurst review class and passed in 75. But we all had a really good nursing program, BSN with almost 100% pass rate that gave us an excellent knowledge base.
