i took the test on July 1st and found out today that i passed. i highly recommend doing NCSBN! i did Kaplan as well but i credit NCSBN for getting me through the NCLEX! i did NCLEX 3000 & 2500...
i dont know if i passed yet, but the NCSBN online reviewer helped me a lot. the price for the classes depends on how long you want to take it. plus they're the ones who make the actual NCLEX questions...
