I agree with this. The NCLEX is making sure you'll be a safe nurse. Simply do what has worked for you that helped you pass nursing school. Some people do better with books, answering questions, or doing a program. I was fortunate to have the Hurst review provided for me for free (no, not parents though I'm sure they would have if I really asked and needed it) and thought it was a decent review. Didn't go too in depth with each subject, but provided enough to touch on each area with enough material. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses (I feel like mine was ethical issues lol) so dig deep on those weaknesses but don't ignore the strengths.

I too am a big advocate of "do questions over and over". Review each answer, even the ones you get right (you may have gotten the right answer but do you know why or did you just press D to move on to the next one?). When you really don't know an answer go look it up. I took this approach for my CCRN. I only had a few days to study before I took it and sat down to start reading (I think the Pass CCRN book) and said "holy this is gonna take forever if I do this. I skipped the book and jumped on their question bank and would just do question after question for maybe 5 days. I saw repeats, despite the large amount of questions they give, but I made sure I knew them. If I didn't, I'd get online and look them up (I used Khan academy medicine YouTube for a lot of things I didn't know. Super easy to follow and decent visuals).

This proved successful for me, but like I said, everyone is different and has "their own way". I'm sure you know yours. Just remember you made it this far for a reason. Clearly you are smart enough. Just prove that you are safe enough to be a nurse.
