I did all of Kaplan and Hurst but I think I passed because of UWorld. Their remediations are ten times better than Kaplan's and I found their format to be most similar to the actual test.

A similar thing happened to me although my scores were mostly in the high fifties/low sixties then they dipped into the low 50s/40s in the few days before my test. I passed with 75 questions. Good luck!

I did almost all of Kaplan, all of Uworld and most of the Hurst videos but not the questions. Hurst was good for basic content. UWorld was awesome for remediation. I did not like Kaplan that much but it was the program my school used. Of the three, I would definitely recommend UWorld. Their explanations are very clear and comprehensive. You don't have to always be looking up topics in Saunders. Also, I found them to be more similar to the actual nclex than Kaplan. As a side note, I did not do that well on the questions overall (mostly 50s with a few embarrassingly low scores here and there) and still passed with 75 questions. Good luck!

I wouldn't stress out too much about getting into Columbia. I'm currently in the ETP program and it is well known that the admissions criteria are on the lax side compared with other schools. Yes they get about 800 applications for roughly 220 places but you have to take into consideration that many if not most students will choose to go elsewhere given the choice. Can't say what it will be like with the new program. One thing I have noticed is that they really like to see international experience. That said, good luck everyone!
