recommended review center in Baguio/Manila

Silverdragon102, BSN · Aug 6, 2008

Personally I would save your money and just use the NCLEX forum here and Saunders 4th Edition

berryblush · Aug 6, 2008

I only have the Saunders 3rd edition.. Do you think i can still use that or do i really have to buy the new one? Because if there's only some little changes i don't think i need to...? I also plan to buy the kaplan book and enroll at NCSBN...thanks so much!

Hello! I am new here and i really need your help. I want to know what review centers in Manila or Baguio do you recommend? (Baguio is my 1st choice). But i have 2 review centers in mind -- KAPLAN and GAPUZ. My problem is that kaplan has a very long course review and i will have very few time to study other references/books/CDs. Whereas if i review in Gapuz, I can have more time for other references. But i need your opinions please... thanks so much!

i have KAPLAN Baguio in mind too..im from pagnasinan so i have to choice whether manila or baguio since baguio is way nearer here in Pangasinan then i got interested in revieqing in baguio.may prev review centers for cg and ielts are manila based. grad from manila as well.

any better RC in mind?

I have the same dilemma. I have the 3rd edition. But, I'm still studying that because I think it will be too expensive to buy the 4th edition. I will just have to do more practice tests to update me on the current pattern on the nclex.

so true! i was also having doubts whether to buy the saunders 4th edition, since some of the threads mentioned that it doesn't have a lot of difference with the 3rd edition.. they even made a comparative notes about it.. hahaha.. :chuckle

still, i decided to buy the book about 3 weeks ago..

its quite expensive, compared to my 3rd edition (low price edition) - P800.. the 4th edition is around P2,300.. but i enjoy reading it.. the glossy white paper makes a good contrast with the black caption (easy to read), pictures are colorful and there are also some charts and graphs.. i'm a visual learner, that's why i find those details very helpful..

suzanne also mentioned that the difference is in the content of the CD that comes with the book.

try suzanne's plan, tip # 1.. i was amazed with the strategy (even with just the first tip.. :wink2:)

hi! :) good to hear members from baguio! :) well, i enrolled at Kaplan, Baguio City just last Aug 20 but only went to the center to review for 4-5 days because of the many holidays we had! haha! But so far, so good! I like the ambiance, it's just that you really have to have that drive to study because it's basically, on the 1st 1-2 months especially, a self-study!

To those reviewing in Kaplan Baguio, see you there! :)

Oh, thanks mriane and cellardoor for the recommendations! :)

chillout, i have both the 3rd and 4th edition and i'll try to incorporate suzanne's tip with my kaplan (during free time) and let's see if it will work :)

during the self study, is this the part where you watch videos and answer questions on the computer?

what kind of review would be on the last month of program?

lectures? do they have good lectures and good sets of lecturers?

well, kaplan is a 3-month long review course and they will give you a home study kit that you can bring home and study with. On the 1st 1-2 months will be the finishing the videos and home study kit, dpends when you can finish everything. On the 2nd month is your live class but it's better to attend to that after finishing all the things they require u before the live class. on the 2-3rd month is the question and answer. its really on you because you will be provided a guideline at u can follow or u can also not follow it. the bottom line is: you will have live classes, videos, q&a's.. the staffs are so accommodating and i know you will understand it more if you go to the center and ask. :) but i tell you, i like the materials and ambiance
