Hi!!! I graduated last 2007 (5 years ago) from Philippines. I have failed 3 times already. Enrolled in Kaplan & Excel review but didn't succeed. I read the 4th Edition of Saunders, I have ATI in my mobile but still it's not enough. I have been hearing a lot of nice feed backs on both reviews.

Just wanna know which one is worth enrolling in...oh I am planning to enroll in the online review since I am now 6 mos. pregnant and just doing a self-review. Would appreciate all your views. Thanks

NCSBN questions are so close to real NCLEX-RN exam but their rationales are not the best.You might find some similar questions in the NCLEX-RN exam from NCSBN.Pricewise it's the cheapest one where you can get almost 1240 questions($50 for 3 weeks subscription).Hurst is the best for the content and is in the expensive side.I did not even like their questions at all.

Hurst, I tried NCBSN before and now Im taking hurst online. Content wise I would say hurst.

I took the NCLEX twice! The first time I did the HURST and KAPLAN! They didn't help me! I did the NCSBN for 3 weeks for $50.00, was very helpful! I did the questions everyday! Was very very very HELPFUL! I strongly recommended this and read the rationales!!!

Hi! I graduated in PH too class of 2010. Also 6 months pregnant on our first baby. Anyway, I am studying for my third try on nclex Rn now and i find hurst very helpful. Also, i have friends who lend me their saunders CDs and kaplans CDs. Every morning since i enrolled on hurst online, i study one topic and answer 125 questions after. In the afternoon, i rationalized the questions, right and wrong answers. Then i retyped the questions i got wrong and print them for later. That way i could see what i missed out coz i am like making the question that i answered wrong. I know its weird, but it helps me. Especially i am pregnant and tend to be very sleepy during the day, i need a more push and effort.

Hi Guys! I'm taking Dr.Martin Review right now in Chicago, she's a Filipina who's been teaching for 30+ years. She's really awesome, but kinda strict (typical Filipina teacher) seriously :s The review is going well however, I can't assess myself if I'm ready to take the exam since her review is 'Content focus'. Now I'm planning to take Kaplan or NCSBN after Martin, can you recommend me which one is better? Btw I graduated last 2011 PH thanks!
