I will be taking Nclex soon and I took the Kaplan course, the questions are really not knowledge based, so I started using the Saunders, I have the Comprehensive review(green book) and the question and answer book (yellow) which is best or use both. I worry because the questions from Saunders and Kaplan are very different. What is the best approach and I am really curious what Suzanne does not like about Kaplan, This is not the first time I have heard that Kaplan is not best. I would love any input. Thanks.

I recommend the Saunders Comprehensive Review. I found that the Saunders Q & A was a waste of time and money since it had many of the same questions that could be found in the Comprehensive Review Book...
I actually preferred the Kaplan book, as its questions were very similar to those that I encountered on the actual NCLEX. Saunders mainly goes through content that should have been learned while in school.

I have to disagree with commuter the saunder comphrensive is a very good book not on does it challenge your ability to answer each question it also has a great rationale which is what you want to mainly focus on. It has a lot of delegating and priopritizing. I am currently using saunder and finding that it is way better than kaplan.
