Thoughts on Kaplan v/s NCLEX

[lisa75]

I have heard the NCLEX questions are easier than the Kaplan questions. For thise that have taken the nclex please advise your thoughts. Also, I purchased the Kaplan NCLEX review 2012-13 and these questions seem a little easier than the Qbank questions. Would you still utilize the book or just the Qbank questions?

I found Kaplan questions to be only slightly more difficult than the NCLEX. I thought Saunders was pretty accurate as far as difficulty level goes. I used the kaplan qtrainer and the saunders practice disc pretty much exclusively to prepare. :) I too had purchased the Kaplan strategies book and I read the chapters on how to break the questions down and choose an answer. Those were helpful.

Hi there!

Kaplan qbank seemed pretty accurate to the questions on nclex. Saunders was also pretty good, but neither seemed as difficult as nclex. I also did Hurst review, the on-line version. This really pushed my understanding much higher. I truly feel that all three are great tools to help prepare for nclex. The more tools you utilize, the better you will do:-)

I hope this helps.

Best of luck to you:-)
