I passed with 75 questions using mainly Kaplan, saunders and mariane hogan. If you can't afford Kaplan, then saunders 4th edition is the best

I am getting ready to re-test, I thought about suzannes plan, but it seemed too far-fetched, I am not discouraging it, I am pretty sure its good. I just thought that she has her plate full! I did get the Saunder's 4th, Learning Ext. Priority delegation, by Lacharity, nclex 3500. I do the cd on the saunders. I am praying that I pass this time around. Good luck to all who are testing in March/April. Keep us posted and I will do the same.
yeaaaaaaaaaaa!!:yeah:you did it!!!!!!!!!!!

I know a group of students that all used Starting Point and they all not only passed, almost all of them passed with just 75-80 questions. It's only $150 this year because they have a grant to help during this financial crisis.
They give you hours and hours of really interesting audi-recorded content reviews and then a one day Live Review. If you can't attend the Live Review they offer them as telesessions.
They're on the web at www.startingpointRN.com

Pearson's Exam Cram NCLEX w/CD (the big fat one, they have 2, one is more condensed) I used it all through the 2nd year to study for school exams as well, found the level of difficulty and question format to be dead on with the NCLEX, I took it July 15th and passed at 86 q's

The NCLEX RN 3500 online was also helpful!
