Saunders 4th Edition

Hi,just a suggestion.Saunders is an excellent tool to pass the NCLEX.All you need to learn is in there.Try to just concentrate on 1 reviewer so as not to confused you and will not help in the end.

Goodluck....

try doing suzannes plan

hi! i'm gonna take my nclex soon and i've been using saunder's for my review. i also feel like the questions are too easy, too predictable, but from what i read here, and from the advise of those who passed, most of them used saunder's...because of that i realized that if you look at it in a different perspective, it will really help you..analyze the rationale and don't just memorize the answer..that's what i do now, i see the review in a new light..whenever i review, i asked myself, how can i use the information to deliver a safe nursing care to my patient..i no longer get bored with my review and i understand the rationale better..

All I can say about calling Saunders questions easy is......WHAT? SERIOUSLY? We have that as a required book for one of our classes, and are constantly having to take online quizzes that come from Saunders.....every single person in my cohort thinks it's crazy hard. Apparently, we have gone to the wrong school and not learned enough:bowingpur. (just to edit, I love my school though;), it's just surprising to hear people say that is easy?)

how doyou use the cd so that you can go through all the questions systematically

use the study mode

:nurse:hi everybody,

Saunders is good only if u can concentrate on rational rather than question.I myself think that saunders question are much easier than real nclex.In some questions you even do not have to look at question for making answer correct.But for subject matter, its really good if you can concentrate on rationals.

Next thing, we cannot develop our critical thinking in Saunders

because all are kind of straight questions.Nclex is not like that, we have to use critical thinking to answer nclex question.

In my view Kaplan questions are real like nclex.I myself did all saunders questions from cd and book. A week before my exam,I took Kaplan trainer test 1 and got only 50%.It was so horrible.I got nervous.I didnt have much time.I had scheduled my nclex on last date of ATT.I had no choice.Finally I failed .:cry:

Well,now I am planing of taking Kaplan to build my confidence,hope it works.

thank you

:bow:

stick to saunders i am telling you it works and try suanne plan i got a question exactly the same on my nclex test from that book. kaplan questions are much harder than the nclex

i also used saunders and its cd for my review.it's really easy,as in easy.but i find the rationales very good because its easy to understand,not too complicated.after finishing saunders i answered the kaplan trainers.this practice exam is way too hard for me,but i tell you kaplans way of questioning is really similar to the real nclex.i suggest that you must also try kaplans trainers to feel the real nclex:nurse: questions.

I found the Saunders CD questions easy too and they repeated a lot..so I bought Lippincotts Q + A 9th edition with a CD. The questions are much more like what you'll see on NCLEX. It definetly helped me pass.

I've been using the Saunders book and have gotten around the 70% mark on their 100 question exams. I got a 925 on the HESI, so I was expecting to do a little better on the reviews. How did you guys do on the Saunders tests?
