Saunders or Kaplan..what is better???

I personally used Saunders and learningext on my third attempt and passed. Keep practising questions and read the rationales even if right

The only person who can make this determination for you, is you. You need to do as many questions as possible and study the rationales. This is the best way to get used to answering the test questions.

i thought saunders was good for content but their practice questions were way too easy compared to the actual NCLEX questions. i used the 4th ed. of saunders, did questions from that and failed my first try.

i signed up for kaplan and i believe their questions are more similar to the actual NCLEX. i kept practicing questions from kaplan and passed my second try.

my advice: use saunders for content review and use kaplan to practice questions. don't forget to read the rationales, BOTH right and wrong answers.

Try to use kaplan in answering test questions. I only used Kaplan Qtrainer and it helps a lot! :yeah:

used saunders for the content but not the questions because when i failed my 1st exam i realized the saunder questions were not even close to real NCLEX questions..

Content = Saunders

Questions that will be the same as Nclex = Prioritization by Lacharity and Exam Cram

hope this help you and good luck
