Where to review

FutureUSRN · Aug 29, 2006

It is very hard to suggest a review center or a review plan for that matter....each of us is unique and each has his/her own way of studying and learning....

I, for one, studied using review materials like Saunders and Princeton, but never attended a review class. I passed with 75 questions on my first take.

Others suggests Suzanne's review plan, which I was not able to see.

I didn't attend a review class too. I used Kaplan online and saunders Q&A book. I passed with 75 questions on my first try... goodluck :nurse:

actually.. for me, saunders is enough.. too late when i learn about that book..

Kaplan centers are good.. my cousin attended the kaplan's review class and she passed with 75 too..

it's up to you.. assess yourself if you need a help of a review center... or you can do it by yourself..

goodluck!

If you have a Kaplan centre then use it!

Sorry, but with all of the issues cropping up almost on a daily basis from Manila, I would be very leary of any of them, until proven to me otherwise.

Sad to say.

And there is absolutely no reason that you need a review center if you graduated fairly recently. You should be able to do the reivew on your own.

I attended Kaplan's Review in the Philippines. Although it was good and the test-taking strategies were equally good, it will still depend on what type of learner you are. I prefer on-line learning and reading on my own than being in a classroom. So I just listened to their test-taking strategies but still purchased other books and read so much on my own. Good luck to you!

:nurse:I'm preparing for my nclex but undecided where to review? Would like your opinions/experiences regarding the following review centers: Kaplan, Evoke-ATII, URC? Which is better? Or do you recommend other review center(s).Thanks

Did you take the local board?

Thanks...

Hi everyone!

I signed up for NCSBN online review. I was always impressed with the "Question of the week" especially since one of my friends said that she followed it for almost three months & two of the questions were quite similar to two questions she got on the CGFNS exam. It's quite interesting so far...

i enroled in kaplan and supported with saunder's comprehensive... i was not so good like the others... i stopped between 140-150... i never looked at the number of items when the computer did not stop at 75 because i was a bit nervous.... but still i passed... thank God....
