NCSBN

I'm taking NCSBN currently, and I like it a lot. I've read through everything and am doing all the questions they offer and making notes from those and really working to understand the content. I feel like it is helping very much. but I won't know for sure until test day will I. My opinion take it. I took Kaplan hated it and failed NCLEX. Hurst liked it and still failed NCLEX. The Illustrated Study Guide book for NCLEX, and the review they offered, and failed NCLEX. Then a combination of all of those things and still failed NCLEX. Now I'm getting ready to go for my FINAL time, my fifth time. And I feel like NCSBN has done their best to prepare me for the job. Even better I feel as though I've done my best to prepare me for my job.

I purchased the five week course and found it very helpful. I also thought the questions were very similar to those that I got on the NCLEX!

Am also using it along with KAPLAN..I honestly rialised that after using the NCSBN my kaplan scores increased. A friend of mine just toon the nclex and told me the NCSBN questions were very similar to the actual nclex.

I used this ncsbn learning ext for questions and i use hurst video for content . I passed my board for first try :) goodluck!

Have you read the prioritization book by LaCharity?

Dont focus only on 1 review materials grab some books which contains the latest practice questions. Ncsbn content is complete and have 1300 nclex type questions .

how long did it take you to go through all of the ncsbn material? also... how long did it take you to get through the hurst review stuff.

5 weeks for ncsbn and 5 days for hurst.

Thank you all for your help. Yes, [COLOR=#003366]akomismo, BSN, RN I also have the PDA book. The older book, not the newest edition. I guess it is like they say, you have to find the review that works best for you. I will also be using the NCSBN with all my other resources that I have used in the past and some others that I have found online.

Personally, I think that the NCSBN is more similar to the actual NCLEX. I used Kaplan and NCSBN. I feel however, that the NCSBN helped me more than Kaplan. I passed in 75 questions. Good luck:)!

I've taken my time to review through NCSBN, because I want to give myself the best opportunity to pass, and I'm secretly terrified I'm going to fail it again. My test is scheduled Dec. 9th, and I have until November 28th to complete the rest of the content, I've ended up taking nine weeks to get through all the content, and I'm still only on Respiratory, and I'm busting my honey to get through all their questions, all while being a full time caregiver to an elderly mom. So I have time management issues. Not to mention she was a night nurse for about 50 years, and I'm currently on a daytime schedule so I can get all the day to day stuff done, it's probably taken me a lot longer to go through certain materials than it has others.

I do feel like NCSBN and NCLEX are very similar in question style and format. And while taking my time to learn things, or relearn things, I feel more prepared than I have any of the other times I've taken NCLEX.

I currently do not have the PDA LaCharity book. I've heard it is awesome, but I have no money to get it with at the present time. I might need to see if someone around me has it, or would be willing to split the cost with me or something.

As for Hurst, I liked they're content review a lot as well. It took me five days to cover their review then I reviewed it the night before my exam. This time though I may do what an above poster said and spend a week or so going back over my Hurst materials.
