Just Passed!
I would recommend it, it’s like an insurance policy, you may not need it, but you may & it’s better to be prepared! If you use a review course I guaranty Even if you think you “know everything” and would have passed without it, that you will learn many new things that may will be useful when you start working!
If you pass the first time w/out reviewing it will be about $250. Add that on every time you fail, and the fact that you wont have a job for at least another 45-90+ days… and who knows if you pass it the next time or if you’ll decide take a review course later … 250+250+450= $$$$$! And studying that much for that long is SO STRESSFUL! :smackingf
My advice is Review all you school stuff as much as you can to get you content down. Then practice a lot of questions, the amount depends on the person. ASAP get into a review course when you’re done with that. Do EVERYTHING they tell you to do (it sucks a lot of cramming for a couple weeks and no life). And you’ll pass, most offer about a 97% pass rate, or 11% higher than the first time national average.
Yes the NCLEX was just updated, But NCLEX is delayed as they must test questions before they can use them, there are some things you may “KNOW” from school, as new, proper, updated, cutting edge, or EBP… but it may not be correct according to NCLEX (Because they may use older information for some topics!)… I know I was kinda upset about this, but its only a couple things.
I took it my first time and failed. Then took a review course (Doc. Martin's) and passed. First time w/ 261 questions, Second time w/ 75. Much less difficult than the first time even w/ the harder questions, I had a lot SATA, and once I was done I was wanting more…
Also, the “quick results or trick” did Not work for me so don’t freak out if they don’t work for you, also if u search the state board license search I’m still not listed. If these tricks don’t work (they may sometimes), Just pay person the 8$ for the unofficial result & find out!
God Bless & Good luck to all, let me tell you I feel like a new person… :w00t:

I graduate in December:yeah:and my school offers the Kaplan review class but it is so expensive. I've heard mixed reviews on whether or not to take a review class, some say take it and others say its a waste of time. Are there other classes that are less expensive and just as good? Any advice would be great!
