I agree with Erin, the Kaplan strategies book was very helpful. I know money is a bit tight now, but is there any way you can borrow study materials from a classmate who already took the exam? I did that and it helped a lot. I understand that it's ...
LOL :rotfl: The title certainly got my attention and I have to chime in! Good job! You're done! It's over! And me being a firm believer of the PVT... cheers! :beer: I had a crazy amount of SATA, drug questions, prioritization, and delegation questio...
Hi Shonda, I always tried to aim for at least 70% or above to be safe. For the second time around, I just studied as if I hadn't taken the test. I approached the exam different. Instead of trying to recognize facts, I tried to break apart the questi...
Yes, from what I remember it's broken down into eight areas: management of care, safety and infection control, health promotion and maintenance, psychosocial integrity, basic care and comfort, pharmacological and parenteral therapies, reduction of ri...

Hi mamajo, I'm sorry to hear that happened, but you CAN do it. I know where you're coming from. I didn't pass on my first try, but I did on my second. I know it's hard, but take some time off and then pick yourself back up again. I'm not sure if you...
Hey soxchick, Congrats! You're finished! Weee! I hear you though! When I took the exam, I went out and had a drink with friends. It's definitely a good way to unwind and pass the time. Definitely try to keep yourself busy in the next couple of days.....
Hi Lisa1980, It is 45 days since you last took your exam. You will have to apply for a new ATT and once you get that, you can register for a date 45 days after your last attempt. You can apply for an ATT now so you can pick your registration date. H...
Hi Lisa1980, If you were near standard passing, I would just study all those areas again. Definitely do more practice questions and read each rationale. Since you were close, I think the practice questions/exams may do it. I did the NCLEX 4000 and I...

Haha, I used BOTH the earplugs and the headphones over them. It helped block out all the room noises. Really...I have difficulty concentrating when I hear the person next to me breathe. Hehe.. Good luck though!
Hi Lisa1980, Quick results will let you know in 48 hours. It will probably take a week or so to receive an official letter in the mail about your areas of weaknesses (each area will indicate whether you were above passing level, below passing level,...

Good luck everyone. Stay calm and keep focused. It's an awesome feeling of relief when you finish...followed by n/v for at least two days. Love to hear from you all after the big test is over! Sending positive vibes...and best wishes!
Hi JBreezy! I'm glad you were able to find some encouragement from my little post! To answer your question, I got the NCLEX 4000 from a classmate. It's a good idea to utilize your classmates! Especially when I was strapped for cash. I totally underst...
Hi JBreezy, I'm very sorry to hear about that. I know how devastating that can be because it happened to me on my first try too. It really is an awful feeling...and I totally empathize with you. I wish I knew about this forum before because there is ...
