So I'm studying using Saunders (the book and the online questions which used to be on a CD, but seem to be completely online now) and Kaplan (the Qbank and in class session). Kaplan questions seem to be MUCH MUCH harder than the Saunders study questions - should I not be bothering with Saunders? For those who took and passed, if you could focus on one or the other, which would you recommend?

Saunders is great for content review, Kaplan is great for actually learning how to answer NCLEX-style questions...just my opinion. I read the entire Saunders book and after reading would do the Kaplan questions on each focused section then do the Saunders questions...I passed using that concept...

Hey there, I agree with MissMoo I took and passed the NCLEX on my first try on 9/19/2014. I recently posted a review of all the resources I used (Kaplan and Saunders included) --> https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/passed-nclex-rn-949861.html . Hope this helps!
