I have done 5 weeks course and I found NCSBN overwhelming. I prefer Saunders book (5th ed, yellow one).

I bought the 5 week course and literately used it two times. I did not care for the website..it was so slow!! I used Kaplan, Saunders, PDA, exam cram & Lippincots alternate style Q&A book.

I did the three week course and focused on the questions...I used this source after I used the Kaplan Book, Exam-Cram, and LaCharity.

NCSBN is a content, strategy, and review format...it can be overwhelming, however I've known cohorts who used it as their SOLE SOURCE and passed the NCLEX the first time...it's nursing boards boot camp lol.

For me, the NCSBN helped me prepare for the boards...I actually got questions similar to the course on the boards, and was comfortable answering them. Good Luck!

True, most people don't. I didn't Schulz my exam until I felt somewhat ready, and was close to my two month mark. I had to wait an additional TWO weeks to take the exam because the dates were filled :nailbiting: I graduated, went in vacation, took two NCLEX-style exams with 265 questions and 3 days later, took the exam.
