Feb 17, 2007 just in case this might help anyone else...i used kaplan to study; the book and the cd. i was getting frustrated with the questions, and getting a lot of them wrong.so, i decided to begin studying how to take the exam. kaplan's book is great for this...maslow's, abc's, safety, management...what is the question really asking, and how to find the answer. this really was the 'key' for me.good luck to everyone preparing to take the nclex, it's really not as bad as we make it out to be. remember to breathe during your exam, and take a break when you can.lavarn
