   nmaracle3834 replied to 2bRN20092's topic in NCLEX

   I took the NClex 3 times years ago and gave up. Decided to give it another try and failed. I did take the Kaplan course and I did use the pointers the teacher gave us and part of the tree. I passed on my 5th try which was a month after my Kaplan ...

2. Questions "To do or not to do that is the Question"??

   nmaracle3834 replied to UjonesRN's topic in NCLEX

   Yes I have taken the Nclex on June 10th and passed. I took it 4x before, decided to dish out the money for the Kaplan review in early may, gave myself a month to put together notes and took the test. Passed on my 5th try. Kaplan put things into pe...

3. When did the computer stop for your NCLEX Exam?

   nmaracle3834 replied to newcalvn's topic in NCLEX

   That's what I did. I got those last two questions and I was stoked. When it shut off, I called my mom "I passed". She asked me how I knew and I told her. Then I'm driving home and thought, crap, what if I was too excited and didn't click the right...

4. Does Kaplan make you read into the answer on the NCLEX?

   nmaracle3834 replied to 2bNurse4life4ever's topic in NCLEX

   Our Kaplan teacher yelled at us in class. After telling us to read the question, take it at face value and answer it. After the 100th question, someone blurted out "what if...." and she said "where does that say that in the question?, it doesn't.....

5. Upcoming NCLEX RN advice

   nmaracle3834 replied to 2bRN20092's topic in NCLEX

   Kaplan does give a money back guarantee or you can sit for another class. I don't think they offer it more than once because they figure they can give you the tools to take the test, but if you don't know your content it's not going to help you if y...

   It's hard to tell... everyone learns differently. I made notes from my old nursing books, books from the library and my nclex review and rationales book. I focused on information from all resoursces and compiled notes from all the books on Addisons...

   nmaracle3834 replied to LVN2010M's topic in NCLEX

   Kaplan is a bit more expensive.... but you get 3 months of online help; and 4 days in the classroom. Depending where you are and their rules, Kaplan has a money back guarantee but you have to look at the small print to see if you qualify. You can ...

8. Questions "To do or not to do that is the Question"??

   nmaracle3834 replied to UjonesRN's topic in NCLEX

   I was told to do about 100 with rationales a day and get in a minimum of 2,000 in before the test. I didn't do that. I started, but one question would say this, then I had a similar question and thought I knew the answer and it was wrong. It was j...

9. When did the computer stop for your NCLEX Exam?

   nmaracle3834 replied to newcalvn's topic in NCLEX

   It's hard to determine if you have passed or failed by number of questions. If you continue on past 75, the computer is still giving you a chance. I knew I passed after 83 only because question 82 and question 83 I knew the answers to and was 150% ...

    nmaracle3834 replied to sn25's topic in NCLEX

    I graduated in 1997 and failed the test 3x after graduation. Did refreshers, every book I could get a hold of and nothing. Back then I failed with 75 questions twice and 265 once. I gave up, took a step back and walked away. Used my medical assis...

12. Taking NCLEX-RN for the 3rd time!!! Need encouragement and advice!

    nmaracle3834 replied to sn25's topic in NCLEX

    I think you really need to focus on areas that you're not confident in and bump up your daily questions. It took me 5x to pass the dumb thing. Good luck

    nmaracle3834 replied to Quinervin's topic in NCLEX

    Either way, the envelopes come pretty quick. I took test #4 on a Tues, got my brown envelope on Friday. #5 was taken on a Wednesday, got my certificate on Monday. Hard to tell....depends maybe on your state.

15. Proctors know if you pass NCLEX?

    nmaracle3834 replied to BeagleLover2008's topic in NCLEX

    I don't know if they really do know. I watched the monitors as I was fingerprinted in and out of the room and he has pictures of all the people from a top view making sure no one is cheating. I didn' see anything else but camera shots of people in ...
