If you failed with Kaplan, then you probably need content. My husband failed the first time. He did the retake this morning, did the PVT and got the "good pop-up." He reviewed and practiced questions for about 7 weeks before the second test. He thinks the Exam Cram review book, NCSBN Learning Extension, and the LaCharity Priority, Delegation & Assignment book helped the most. He also did the NCLEX Made Incredibly Easy review book and Question and Answer book. Even though he didn't get a chance to finish it, he also liked the Saunder's Q & A book. It is broken up according to the NCLEX categories instead of body systems, so you can focus on your weak areas. Hope this helps and best wishes on your next exam! :)

April31099 is totally right Kalop!! Different Materials work for different people. I merely told you what I used and it worked for me. Good Luck!!

I looked at Exam Cram as well, but didn't use the cd (not mac compatible). I didn't do a lot in it because I used that free site RN3500 . I focused mainly on doing questions. If I don't pass than I'll have more time to really look at Exam Cram. It was easy to understand. I used ncsbn for the pn exam a year ago. That was helpful as well. I have some test anxiety so I had to focus on some techniques like taking my hand off of the mouse and deep breathing.

I did lots of questions from the free site nclex review 3500. There is a link in one of the threads on this site. I also dragged out the math drug calc book and worked on that. I tend to not hold math formulas in my head for long. Everyday I did review questions so I got feedback after every question. Then when I got bored with that I would take a test, usually 75 questions. I few times I did 150 just to prepare me to sit for a long time when taking the actual test.

I took my hand off of the mouse every time during the exam. This forced me to really look and read both questions and answers. I used the ear plugs and made sure to remain focused. Pm me if you like.
