About 2 months, and far too many questions to count. I didn't do it every day though--I'd give myself a rest day every 2-3 days so I didn't burn out. Also, the day before the test I did not do any studying because I wanted to relax and rest.

I liked Saunders a lot! I thought the review questions were really good, and the outlines are great for reviewing weak areas.

The KAPLAN NCLEX test book helped me tremendously...and it was a very quick read.

Even my nursing school grades went up after this because I learned how to think through most questions.

I do not think I went through the thousands of questions they say to.

But one thing that I did do...is I would make notes of the ones I got wrong...becasue I knew I would never have enough time to go back through all the info...

And then the last few days I studied before the test...I just looked at my notes to review the things I kept forgeting.

I just kept answering questions until I started consistantly getting them right then moved on to the next section.

Passed with 76 questions I believe, 1st try.

i used saunders and i love the book. I read it twice before i took my test but not the only book that i used, it was easy for me to understand my content with it. i would love to recommend the book to any one taking nclex.

goodluck in your decision.

do not use Hogan. the website is awful! u will get struck on a test and have to start over, because there is a problem with the pictures. the site can't show the picture and u can't go to the next question. the test forces u to choose the wrong answers. if u want to be frustrated and spend more time trying to pass their test then studying, then get hogan. the absolute worst!
