Pearson Review

I was wondering if anyone has used the Pearson Review and Rationales book to study for the NCLEX? I have studied Lippincott's, Saunders, and have taken a review course and I'm not really feeling like I'm getting practice with the difficult questions. Does anyone know of a brand that would give me most practice with analysis and application? I practice questions with the other brands mentioned and pretty much fly through the questions.

Thanks in advance!!

I used "all the above," and when it came time to test...none of it mattered. If I could do it all over again, and had been able, I would have taken the nclex asap after graduating! I passed with 75... I did study nclex style questions continuously from day 1 of nursing school...in fact that is "how" I studied for school...read the books? No way...it was a waste of time. Thats me....good luck, cause it seems any one/all of the so called study courses are about all the same...how many times do you want to practice the same basic ideas???

Exactly! I've taken the test twice and failed. The first time I was so anxious and nervous I could hardly focus and keep it together. The second time I studied for hours, practiced questions, did study groups and went into the test feeling good and confident. And then left feeling good and confident and then was stunned I failed again! When I think back on the test the second time around I didn't know how to handle the harder questions when I got to them because I didn't have access to the more difficult ones. That's why I'm hoping to find another brand of questions that are considered hard. My thought process is that maybe the Pearson brand may be close to the test...who knows?
