Should I buy the NCSBN study course for the pnclex?

I purchased it, and it was useful as it got closer to the exam. At first, I thought that the questions were VERY difficult when I began studying, but as my skills improved, I began to appreciate the hard questions. I did pass the first time with 85 questions in 40 minutes, but, I believe that because I was practicing high level questions from them and other sources, my NCLEX questions were hard as heck.

Good luck!

What other sources did you use?

I used it for two weks and absolutely detested it while I was doing it. HOWEVER, the questions were exactly like my state boards were and the rationales were excellent. In retrospect it was a wise purchase.

I burned copies of many CD ROMs with questions, from Incredibly Easy, Saunders, Delmar's, Lippincott, Kaplans and something else that I don't remember right now. I wanted to see different styles of questions, and also, the extension program seems limited on the amount of questions, so to speak. If you have a burner, ask friends if you can borrow their CDs just long enough to make copies. Good luck!:typing
