Actually I definitely agree with you. When I was studying for the NCLEX, I used Kaplan and Saunders together. I was scoring 50's-60's in Kaplan which is actually a good score for Kaplan. In my opinion, the questions from Kaplan were a lot harder than the questions from the real exam. Just keep practicing questions. The day before the exam- DO NOT STUDY. Go do something fun. It will help clear your mind before the exam :) Best wishes!

First good luck student240 on your upcoming boards. I also agree with LenaRN do not study the night before. I actually stopped studying 2 weeks before because I got sick and could not concentrate and then when I started feeling better I just could not study any more. I also agree that the Kaplan seems to be even more difficult then the NCLEX. Keep us posted and good luck again!!

The only thing I used from Kaplan was the question trainer & I used it for evaluation only...didn't even mess with looking at the rationales because I used Suzanne's study plan with Saunders. I averaged high 50's to low 60's. With Saunders, depending on how tired I was when practicing, I averaged 80's to 100's consistantly. I thought the format of Kaplan questions to be the closest to NCLEX, but personally, I felt the actual exam was more difficult than Kaplan...go figure, I'd have to be the different one :rolleyes: ! Anyway, keep your faith & all my best to you! :)
