Hey all,
So I've been using the Saunders CD (4th edition) for doing questions and I find most of them to be pretty easy. Can anyone comment on the difficulty level of the questions and how well it correlates with the real NCLEX-RN? And also what's a good score to be getting on these questions?
I find Kaplan questions to be harder than Saunders. But I've only used the Kaplan Review books and not their Q-bank. Running out of resources to use at this point!! Any help would be appreciated

You should be concentrating on learning the concepts so that you can figure out the answer no matter how it is worded. The study resources are only giving you examples of questions on the subject material. If you know the concept, you will be able to answer the question. The more questions you answer as you prepare, the more at ease you will be when you encounter questions on the test.
@ caliotter3: Thank you for your response. I'm reviewing concepts that I've consistently been getting wrong. However, its unrealistic to think that'll I'll be able to cover every disease and procedure that I would need to know. With some questions you just have to rely on making a guess. I find with Saunders that answer choices are pretty unrelated so its pretty easy to narrow down the answer. With Kaplan they'll throw in 2 very close, very high priority things with obviously one being the right answer.
