IMO, I did not feel that Kaplan was worth the money. I just got done taking a live class 2 weeks ago, and they really didnt tell me anything I did not already know. ( all they did was stand there and read questions) I also found myself answering the questions without using the decision tree, which I felt did not help anyway. I wish I would have saved the money, and got right to the books and questions. I do know this...the instructor said that the Kaplan questions are more difficult then the NCLEX exam. As my freinds did as well. I think they may get you all worked up so that you do go nuts, study like crazy because you think you are doing poorly, in turn you pass, so they do not have to refund your money, lol
