I used Saunders and Lippincott. Never heard of the other one you mentioned. I believe if you practice practice practice those NCLEX questions from whatever book you decide to go with, the better your chances at passing. good luck!!!

i think ur right. practice, practice and more practice is the key to pass the exam.. I've started reading many books but when i answer drills I realized only small portion of what I studied left in my memory. By the way did you took nclex rn yet?

Yes, back in August. Passed the first time. I used nclex questions throughout nursing school to prepare me for tests. Did your school offer you an NCLEX course before you graduated?

No! because I graduated from Philippines- so my school offered review for local nursing board of Philippines only and preparing/reviewing for Nclex-rn would be personal option. Have u enroll to any review centers or just the 2 books you have mention?

Loved Mary Anns book but maybe im biased because she was my professor and we went through her review book with her

I never heard of the Hogan one. I used Saunders and Kaplan--passed the test in 75 on the first try.

2.5 years ago. Passed with 75 first time around. I also used Saunder's for questions but Hogan for my core review.

Took it a few years ago.

Do lots of practice questions and don't expect to know everything in detail. They put a lot of questions on that test about topics that I will swear with hand on Bible we never/rarely covered in school, so it came down to applying what I did know to make the best guess. Must have worked.
