Kaplan suggests completing 75 questions a day so that you can become used to the NCLEX testing style and to also build up your testing stamina for Test Day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class='iconlist-timeline'><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div  class='iconlist_icon  avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='iconlist-char ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue816' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='iconlist_content_wrap'><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >5.

They said it was crazy how the strategies Kaplan taught them\u2014from how to break down the questions, eliminate the distractors, and understand what the question was asking them\u2014were all useful for the exam and helped them pass on the first try.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class='iconlist-timeline'><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div  class='iconlist_icon  avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='iconlist-char ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue816' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='iconlist_content_wrap'><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >6.

Although by your last semester of nursing school, many programs are utilizing NCLEX-based, critical thinking style questions, which are similar to what you will see on the NCLEX exam. The Kaplan review course will help take your knowledge of how to answer NCLEX-style questions to the next level\u2014teaching you strategies and showing you a different way to think and approach these types of questions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class='iconlist-timeline'><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><br \/>\nMaking the decision to enroll in a Kaplan NCLEX review course is, without a doubt, the best investment you can make.

A concept that the instructor taught was that of the decision tree, which is basically a process Kaplan uses to help you break down what the question is asking.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>My\u00a0favorite part of the live-online class was that it offered a readiness test. This was the last resource I utilized a few days prior to taking the NCLEX-RN.
