PLS HELP! Review Centers

lawrence01 · Jun 7, 2006

I think the better ones for CGFNS are Gapuz or if you have the money: Kaplan.

and of course the review book that comes w/ your CGFNS application.

BTW, where did you review for your local boards?

I'm sure more posters will give their sugesstions and pls. check out the dedicated thread above about "Review Centers in the Philippines"

hi there lana! pleasure to have you here.

are you in manila or in baguio? 'coz labagnoy holds classes in baguio usually for 4 months starting july. fee is around p25k.

in kaplan, i heard, some lectures are in video. to know more about it, you can attend their monthly free orientation seminar for cgfns/nclex classes. branches are in morayta, makati, quezon avenue, baguio. fee is more than p20k.

in gapuz, fee is also around p20k. branches are in manila and baguio. class usually starts a month before the exam.

r.u.n., i think, has the lowest fee. venue is near nagtahan bridge in sta. mesa. not sure if room is airconditioned.

pentagon is relatively new but reportedly has the biggest number of students enrolled for this june local board exam (more than six thousand). venue is in manila or baguio. i heard that big classes in manila are sometimes held in universities such as adamson or ue recto. no idea about the fee. i heard that lecturers can be very funny and innovative in their teaching style and most students don't feel bored.

some centers are offering weekend class schedule starting july/august/september. others are about to start daily classes for the july cgfns exam. when do you think can you start joining a review class?

[color=olive]hi!

[color=#808000]i infact went to gapuz for local boards, i think theyre better for local

[color=#808000]boards.. in kaplan i learned from few people theyre actually good in

[color=#808000]nclex not sure with cgfns. with labagnoy i just hearned theyre good

[color=#808000]in cgfns, i already saw the fees of labagnoy and gapuz, but with

[color=#808000]kaplan i have no idea. i just want to choose what is the best review

[color=#808000]foe cgfns thanks

[color=olive]hi!

[color=#808000]thank you! yeah no problem with the fees i saw them on internet

[color=#808000]i'm from bacoor cavite, baguio would be my choice to attend the review

[color=#808000]but which review center? im quite confused cos some would say kaplan

[color=#808000]is really good with nclex, but not so sure with cgfns,

[color=#808000]gapuz is for local boards (i actually went there and yeah

[color=#808000]theyre good in local boards, not sure w/cgfns) with labagnoy i just

[color=#808000]learned from my college friend theyre good in cgfns compare to other

[color=#808000]review centers, so its mind buggling to me... with pentagon im not sure

[color=#808000]also, the weight is between kaplan + labagnoy for cgfns..

[color=#808000]thank you!

i prefer kaplan if you ask me. many are saying that the cgfns exam is harder than the nclex so you need to study more extensively compared to studying for nclex.

goodluck
