The nursing school I attended had us use the HESI testing throughout the school and i believe it really helped, but I have to say I do better at teaching myself. Some of my classmates used kaplan so far all that used it have passed except one person. I agree that some people need review courses, but I believe that if you do enough questions and study the ones you got wrong, you will learn alot. I think I learned more from the rationales to the questions I was doing that any review book I read. The NCSBN course is really good, they have review material and lots of questions, that are very similar to the nclex. I used this program for the questions and it really helped. So like others have said questions dont work for everybody because everyone learns differently, but if you are on a budget, NCSBN and practice lots of select all that apply questions and you will do great. Best of Luck to all.

I have recently passed my nclex on 6/19/2014 with 75 questions. I did pearson vue trick and it worked. I studied for a total of 3 weeks. I used the Kaplan test stratgies book, Lippincott alternate format book, and la charity delagation book. I also purchased the Ncsbn 3 week plan for 50 dollars and just did the questions. While studing all my classmates spent 400 bucks on kaplan and other reviews and I think its all a waste of money. The key to passing nclex is QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, AND MORE QUESTIONS. After a while you will get in the groove of reading the questions and seeing what it is asking. Good Luck everyone, if I can do it you can too.
