Hi,

I used Saunders for both my LPN and RN. Check out the NCLEX forum here for more tips.

Hi, I did a 1mth review with ATI (Assessment Technologies Institute and to me it was very helpful. We enrolled through our program so I have no idea how much it cost. Hope this info helps and good luck. Passed NCLEX on the first try. (http://www.atitesting.com)

I studied form Saunder's, Kaplan and NCSBN online review. Study from wichever you like the most and do as many questions as possible. I took the exam for the first time 2 days ago and I found out today I passed. Good luck.:up:

i used both of the saunders books (the green one - just questions, and the blue one - topical review) and cds as well as the lippincott cd and another cd...the key is to just doing questions over and over again

i don't know how many thousands of questions i did in preparation but it was all worth it because i passed!

I used Saunders and Davis, however I strongly recommend that you buy a book on delegation and priority because you will see a lot of those type questions on the NCLEX, we all did!

Good Luck!

I also used ATI, Kaplan, Mosby's NCLEX review, Saunder's NCLEX review, a Lippencott Flash Card set. I can honestly say I utilized Kaplan and Saunders the most.

i suggest you focus on whatever resources you have..you'll just get bumburdened by many books at the end you'll not finish them all reading it.I used kaplan books and for the question I used kaplan, saunders , and the ncsbn online review which i find very similar to the actual exam. just do your best on your study passing the exam does not depend on what book you have but on how you comprehend it and apply it on the exam. goodluck to those who are taking the exam. best of luck ! :loveya:

Specializes in LTC, case mgmt, agency.

I used Lippincott Nclex Reveiw, Drexel DVDs, and the Random Facts Thread. Passed first time with 75 questions :wink2:. However, what works for one person and makes sense, may not work for someone else. Find what works best for you. I would also consider Suzanne's Plan, I have read so many wonderful things about it, where she has helped many many to pass.

:heartbeatGOOD LUCK!
