Naxlex
4.6
(61)
"I'd recommend trying Naxlex if you haven’t already, their rationales are super detailed and great for understanding concepts and not just memorizing facts."
"I would highly suggest you use Naxlex since they have a 14 day free use before the actual purchase and their questions mimicks the Nclex exam and you will benefit from their RATS which are upto 10."
"Try naxlex which has plenty of NGN questions and simplified with content-rich cheat sheets with well elaborated rationales."
"I used Naxlex live webinars one week to my exam combined it with you tube videos(level up RN), Saunders and bootcamp."
"Using a qbank like naxlex that is reliable and doing daily quizzes helps in mastering content and using Saunders as reference"
"Pick one Qbank that will work for you, naxlex worked for me and I'm an RN"
"Both are the best but I encourage you to go for naxlex as it has well elaborated rationales and the questions mimic real NCLEX exam"
"I can swear by Naxlex and bootcamp.."
"If you need the most NCLEX-like questions, naxlex is still the best for test-taking practice"
"Naxlex was my best Q bank"

UWorld
4.7
(52)
"I used all questions in uworld and listened to mark k. Studied to 2 mos. Passed 85q"
"I used UWorld and ATI and passed in 85 questions."
"I used UWorld, it was very similar to the style of questions on the actual NCLEX."
"I think UWorld is the best there is. Not only does it have awesome rationales for every question, it also looks just like the NCLEX which I think helps to decrease anxiety."
"UWorld. That’s all I did. Did all the practice questions and practice tests."
"I would suggest using UWorld. They have digestible videos on all the topics you could need."
"I end up using Uworld, Bootcamp, and Kaplan for comprehensive review and much effective for me."
"Agree with uworld."
"UWorld hands down"
"UWorld was the only thing I used."

"They have a pretty effective study schedule, have great content videos, have amazing case studies that break down topics simply and their practice questions are said to be the most similar to what appears in the exam itself and the difficulty reflects that."
"Bootcamp (Qs and Case studies)"
"Bootcamp all the way with NHY (NCLEXHIGHYIELD) both together did WONDERS for me my 3rd and final attempt was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life - game changer!"
"BOOOOTCAMMMPPP!!"
"Bukod sa mura, sulit sya pagdating dun sa content. Maganda ang explanation ng bawat rationale, and bukod dun, same format sa NCLEX yung mga questions"
"Bootcamp yung cheapest and most identical sa NCLEX. Kahit yun lang gamitin mo na Qbank/assessment, enough na yun sabi ng mga passers"
"Bootcamp for practice test"
"You can use Bootcamp or Naxlex for practice questions -i have heard good reviews about"
"I'd recommend u either purchase naxlex or bootcamp which both have good standings from the previous test takers."
"You can use Bootcamp or Naxlex for practice questions -i have heard good reviews about"
