uworld vs kaplan- my experience

[Arizonaaa]

As I studied for the NCLEX I came across several resources and some expensive. My school originally made us do Kaplan, while 98% of the students passed with Kaplan, it didn't work for me. I did Kaplan my 1st and 2nd round of NCLEX and I found the material to be exactly the same as Uworld. Even most of the questions were the same. However, I did alot better with Uworld because of the detailed rationals of both right and wrong answers. Uworld offered way more SATA and "hot spot" items, which made me more comfortable with SATA. Uworld gave me tips throughout also, like, think safety safety safety. I also found Uworld to test you on a subject repeatedly until I had the disease down. For instance, I am now very comfortable with everything about cystic fibrosis. Kaplan is a great learning tool, but we all learn differently, and I had to know why my answer was wrong in detail, and not a measly one sentenced line. My comprehensive book for Kaplan was also so just cut and try, bam bam bam bam. I decided to buy a Saunders book for comprehensive review and I found all things with that important "this shows up on the NCLEX" triangle was basically Uworld. They both go together almost perfectly. Kaplan just wasn't for me and that was only because we all learn so differently. And I'm extra slow at understanding material, so I needed all the detailed explanations for things to stick hope that helps. Good day! I tried a lot of other books also, but as I sat and thunk for a couple of days. I REALIZED Uworld and my Saunders comprehensive book was ultimately saved me for round 3 of NCLEX.
