What were your saunder scores?

mickeyrose912 · Dec 15, 2014

I graduated in May and passed this summer with 75 questions

I found Saunders to be much easier than Kaplan.

I got the most up to date Saunders comprehensive review.

Kaplan i got 60-80%

Saunders i usually got 70-100%

I would read the chapter and then do the questions for that chapter. It really helped. I also HIGHLY recommend the Kaplan question trainer 6 and 7 ( google it and do it!!!) . After doing those i took my NCLEX and the test seemed so easy!

During my test I'd get a question related to a topic i have never heard about. I remember just laughing (sometimes out loud) and thinking " oh ****. no clue what this is, but this feel right" and selecting an answer. Before i knew it the computer shut off at 75 and i walked out with a smile. I just knew i had passed.

Kaplan is awesome!!!

See my recent thread under nclex. It's called "valuable nursing tips"

Hi, I took the NCLEX PN and passed with 85 questions on my first try December 5th. I did Saunders almost exclusively, and towards the end of my review, I was scoring 80's. I didn't read the book though, I mostly did questions but did it per subject (I.e. fundamentals first, I'd do a 100 then u did Adult health, etc.). Let me know if I can help in any way. Good luck to you!

thank you so much for replying!

So I took the practice exam for saunders and i scored a 70%.

So then I felt like the questions were not as hard as the nclex questions!

I ended up buying the ncsbn review course.. So far I feel like its helping!

This review is written by the same people who write the nclex questions.. so hopefully this will help me pass. I do not want to fail again

Have you heard anything about that review?

Oh yes, I'm so sorry, I thought I had mentioned that I did NCSBN learning extension program (paid by our school). Sorry, I have replied to several other threads and I thought I have mentioned it on this one. Yes, I did the NCSBN review (3 weeks) but I only did the questions. I thought the test bank was awesome! I think doing Saunders and the NCSBN would prepare you well. You got this! I also went over a couple of study guides that I found on here for free, I can send them to you if needed

Yeah I have been going through the review and its taking forever!

Maybe I should just do the questions too?

Yes! that would be awesome if you could email me anything helpful!

Hi, I will email them to you sometime tonight. I heard the content was awesome as well, but might be more comprehensive than we'd like but I'd suggest if you don't have the time, to at least go through ALL the questions. Let me know how else I could help
