Slow down, doing to many review courses can confuse you. Make sure you understand the rationale to the questions especially on the ones you get wrong. Practice questions

Your right! I should finish kaplan first and saunders.

But, I also thought it's good to do different/all sorts of questions.

Hey Sweetmya,

How much did you pay for Kaplan QBank? How long can you use it?

Thanks,

Since, I'm doing LVN..it was only $109.

Includes 1,000 Qbank. I don't think there's a time limit to it.

Hey Cubano30!

If you are interested in the Kaplan for RN it cost me $425.....yeah it's expensive alright but I think it's worth every penny!

It might be cheaper thou? I think they have different programs in Kaplan.

But the one I did which I do recommend is the one where you go oncampus to a sight for 2 weeks and review questions and they teach the strategies. You do a diagnostic test 1st to see where you stand. After the whole review or 2 weeks are done you do the final diagnostic test. You test on how you did after you did the review course.

You have access for 4 months online to do course review and review questions that are videos with instructors going over it.

You do Qbank questions of the material you studied and do 7 Trainers.

I recommend.......... I take my RN boards this Tuesday the 22nd. I feel confident but of course like everyone else as the day comes sooner I get nervous.

But the main thing is staying FOCUS, POSITIVE, & above all having lots and lots of FAITH!!

NurseGreenEyes! :)

It is important to do lots of questions but also important to understand the rationale to the questions, understand what the question is asking and understanding why you got them wrong

After you study with Kaplan did you pass just wanted to know? Not trying to be noisey.

Sauders is my steady all around study book for reference and questions. I want to learn that book inside and out. Ive had learningext and am using Kaplan too. Learningext has ALOT of reading and I mean ALOT. You get alot of good info but not sure if anyone has the time to retain all of it (very detailed). Good questions there but not enough questions. Kaplan seems to be good but the answers can clash w/saunders on a few things. I continue to use it because I heard it was the closest thing to NCLEX (if that's possible). I look at Exam Cram because I like the way they layout the pharm in an orderly way for study. I really only use it for that primarily. But like I said Saunders I want to know the most. Ive heard that it is best to get one book and study that one...know it inside and out. I test next month, will see how it goes.

I think you should listen to Silverdragon. I have taken the nclex twice & failed twice. (I used the ncsbn course 2 times..it's good but not a lot of detail) Really understanding what the question is asking and paying attention to the rationals is important. You can do all the courses you want , but you gotta understand what the question is asking.....

Anybody used NCSBN learning extension, and passed the NCLEX RN? Thanks for reading...God bless...

Good question, and I also wonder if the level of difficulty in the questions are the same,less, or harder than Kaplan...Anyone know?
