Hi! I will be taking the exam this Spring. I would like to ask some tips on passing the NCLEX-RN exam first take. What would be the best Online Review/Q&A I could use which really helped you gain confidence in passing the exam?
I would really appreciate your comments. :)

I am scheduled for April 2nd and I am reading Saunders.
Thank You friends. I bought the Saunders Comprehensive but I heard their Q&A CD is just simple. What other q&a cd can you recommend?
Hi! Did you already take the Nclex-rn though?

recommending ncsbn, a content book, and a strategy book. if ur a visual learner might as well enroll to a classroom review.
i havent tried kaplan but many tells me that its worth reading.
for content i read saunders and hurst book (just the content of hurst forget about the questionnaire since i checked some of the answers from brunner and its off from merely being the right answer).
some says kaplan is better than saunders and hurst. so u have to pick which one u feel like helping you and stick with it. if you only have one content book then u wont make urself confuse about the topic.
ncsbn is a must since i found few of my questions before that is too close to the real nclex exam.
