Hi there

Both Kaplan and NCSBN are excellent tools. Kaplan in particular teaches you how to read the question and how to 'work out' the right answer, which will help you a lot with the priority questions. I'm using an old Kaplan text book (2002 - 2003) called "NCLEX-RN" which came with the study course amd which is ALL about how to analyze the question, what to look for first, how to approach each question .. I found it to be an absolute eye-opener when I first started studying. The more practice questions I do, and the more I apply these principles, the better I understand how to read the NCLEX questions and how to work out the right answer if I am not immediately sure.

Take a look here for an overview of the up-to-date version of this book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743265408/002-0910975-1823235?v=glance&n=283155

It gives you an extract to look at as well as reader review. A lot of people seem to have trouble with the CDs, but the info in the text book on 'how to' is for me, invaluable.

Hope this helps some

Blessings
