Don't just concentrate on % but look at the answers and make sure you understand the question

Kaplan. My employer reimbursed me for the entire payment for the course. Yours may do the same.

Specializes in Neurology and Med/Surg.

I found the questions on the nclex most similar to kaplan. but there were a ton of meds on my exam that I wasn't prepared for:(

best of luck to you either way!

Specializes in MED-SURG/OB & NICU.

If your on a budget and looking to save money NCSBN is pretty good with offering questions. I enrolled with them for 3 weeks and spent like 49 bucks which I thot was well worth it. Alot of their questions are similar to kaplan but I thot kaplan's questions were more difficult on some levels. Content wise I didn't like what NCSBN had to offer, just way to much irrelevant information if you ask me.

Specializes in mental health, geriatrics.

I did the Kaplan complete course and really found it helpful - also did the 4 day in class sessions and liked it. I did sign up for NCSBN but honestly didn't use it very much. I did use Saunders as outlined in Suzanne's plan. I passed (in 75 questions) on October 17th and really felt it was all about critical thinking which is the focus of the Kaplan program. Hope that helps.
