I took the Kaplan course and passed the first time with 75 questions. I also did some questions from the Saunders cd. Saunders, however, focuses more on content. I really didn't read the Saunders review book. It was too dense, IMO. I believe that the more questions you do, the better. I did all of the q bank and q trainers. Also, focus on your weak areas.
I also I took Kaplan course online and passed with 75 questnions. It was my 3rd attempts, I watched the content and questions review it helps me alot on how to answer nclex questions. If I didn't take this course I probably still be going to re-take #4. However for some reason Kaplan course doesn't work for everybody, some people took it and still failed. But in my opinion if you follow the course direction you will pass the nclex.
I took the Kaplan course, Learning Extensions (NCSBN), and used Prentice Hall Hogan's review book. First two for the questions and the third for review book. Hogan's review book is thick like any other but this one breaks it down to NCLEX categories and sub-cat. It helped to review specific topics and plus it highlights what is likely to be on the NCLEX or what's really important to know.
