Hi im Izzy, I just received my eligibility, and I don't know when I will going to take the NCLEX , I just finished my Kaplan review and I am not sure if I will take the exam this march or next month, since they will change the questions starting April 1. I want to continue reviewing while I am still undecided since I don't feel I am ready to take NCLEX because my Kaplan scores were not that really good, my Qbank is just in the 50's and my Question Trainer 7 is barely 60. What do you think?
Is it ok that after Kaplan I use Saunder's book (q&a) not the cd? ANd if it's ok, how do you answer it? is it like answer the questions and cover the rationale or answer then rationale, I am just curious since I am used to answer questions directly in the computer and now I am doing the book. Any suggestion will be really appreciated.
By the way, which is better to use after Kaplan, the Prioritization, delegation and assignment by Lacharity or Saunders book not the cd?
you're never going to feel like you're 100% ready to take the test. i didn't use kaplan to study for my nclex at all. i didn't have $$ to pay for an expensive review course. i bought a couple of reviews books on amazon for cheap :) i used the saunders compr. review for nclex, the lacharity book you mentioned, and a lippincott review book. as soon as i received my ATT, i went online and signed up for the first available date to test. personally, i just wanted to get it over. no point in driving myself nuts!
mine too i barely get a 60 in Qbank an dmy Q7 is just 58 %. Im doing the saunders now the 3rd edition, one who replied in my thread said I should use all my resources and I am doing it. But I find it easier to answer the saunders book than kaplan. :) Thats good Godbless you on your exam. :)
