HURST for sure. If not for HURST I wouldn't of passed on my first try in 75 questions.

Not sure though - I passed first time with 75 q's and did the Kaplan review . . . Maybe they use different approaches for different testing difficulties? All I know is, HESI was the WORST for NCLEX prep. Not at all useful in my opinion.

I just studied each section and would do some practice questions to make sure that I applied what I just studied appropriately. Thankfully I passed on the first try with just 75 questions. The Hurst review was great for me because it condensed four years of information into a much more digestable portion of info. Good luck and don't stress out.

Im just planning to review hurst or kaplan since it is famous but i guess from the above comments HURST is better so ill do hurst.. wish me luck

This really isn't the way to choose a review program. Every course will help you pass; people also fail with every course. What do YOU need? Where are YOUR weaknesses? What did YOUR CPR say were your troublesome categories?

Until you know the answers to the above questions, you cannot competently choose a program. Won't matter what you pick, it won't help until YOU know what you need to work on.

After failing twice, I went to a 2 day class where the lady redirected me and I passed at the third try. All she recommended was read Saunders and answer the questions on Lippincott.
