Hey there. I just passed my NCLEX yesterday (good pop up). Saunders are the best for content and if you have time to read all of them, great, if not, don't worry about it (read the endocrine chapter and know them really well). However their questions are way too easy and they're nothing like the NCLEX format. On the other hand, Kaplan Qbanks/Qtrainers are great for practice/critical thinking/strategy but poor content. That is why I failed the first time around using solely Kaplan. You still have roughly 3 wks and I STRONGLY suggest you getting the 3 week course of NCSBN. It is only $50. Read my previous post about it. But to sum it up, NCSBN was the closest thing to the real NCLEX-RN. Hands down. I've never heard 1 bad things about NCSBN in this website. Their contents can be little overwhelming so I only read the 'Points to Remember' on each section of the course and did the questions only. Oh, and I downloaded scribd notes from this website as well and I often went back (ctrl + F to search what I was looking for) for content and also to learn key things to remember on that content. KNOW YOUR INFECTION CONTROL. I cannot stress that enough lol. 'my chicken hez TB' 'SPIDERMAN' 'MRS.WEE' 'VCHIPS' etc. Wish you the best. :)

1). 4-6hrs. breaks here and there 2). Kaplan Course book(with online Qbanks/Qtrainers etc.), Hurst(book only) and NCSBN 3 wk course. Preference? I just took my NCLEX yesterday and passed. Believe me or not NCSBN was the closest thing to NCLEX format. Hands down. Kaplan Qbanks/trainers are great for strategy and critical thinking practice but I felt like NCSBN questions were a lot similar and condensed. I don't understand how people think Kaplan was the closest thing to NCLEX-RN. Nope. After finishing entire course of NCSBN 3 wks and Qbanks/trainers, I'd have to go with NCSBN. As for Hurst, their questions are way too easy (didnt do any of them) so I read a bit of 'must know charts' and ' pharm in nutshell' section. Hurst review book was okay but I don't think they were that helpful. 3). Kaplan classroom. Great for learning strategy and building up critical thinking skills. Content wise no. 4). 50-100 a day for a month. I spent maybe 1-2hrs on questions. and 3-4 hours reading rationales on incorrect AND correct questions and refer back to the text(Kaplan Course book mostly) and Google (credible websites only). 5). Again, NCSBN. was the reason why I passed the second time around. Failed the first time with kaplan. My advice for you is that it is good to have 2-3 sources to study. But make sure to download the scribd notes from this website. I referred back to the notes but it is over 200+ pages(ctrl + F to search what you're looking for duh). YOU MUST MUST MUST MUST memorize the infection control. 'my chicken hez TB' 'SPIDERMAN' MRS.WEE' 'VCHIPS' etc.

Mine's not up in the board of nursing yet but the PVT still works for me! and I tell you without this website's help I don't think I would have passed second time around.

Hey guys I just finished my test ~20 minutes ago and I've been doing the PVT several times and getting the "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. please... ... Another registration cannot be made at this time." before I get to the CC page. It saids the 'delivery is successful' in the Current Activity page. Does this mean I passed or should I keep trying few hours later? I'm super nervous...
