3. Done at 90 with a Pop Up ... (My Strategy Enclosed)

   delerben replied to delerben's topic in NCLEX

   This thread should be closed. It's gone to thread hijack heaven. Start another thread about the above stuff.

4. Done at 90 with a Pop Up ... (My Strategy Enclosed)

   Just got official results ... chalk up one more to the Pearson trick!

5. Done at 90 with a Pop Up ... (My Strategy Enclosed)

   delerben replied to delerben's topic in NCLEX

   I wouldn't take that approach. When it comes to something you never heard of, try and narrow it down to the two answers that are most alike and pick the one of the two which seems most correct. That will give you a better shot than randomly choosing ...

6. Done at 90 with a Pop Up ... (My Strategy Enclosed)

   delerben replied to delerben's topic in NCLEX

9. Done at 90 with a Pop Up ... (My Strategy Enclosed)

   delerben replied to delerben's topic in NCLEX

   My prof explained the grading process in class early in the program. I took the HESI and the NCLEX with the attitude that there are only 1 or 2 possible answers that make sense (rarely a third). So, I just eliminated the ones that were obviously off ...

    delerben posted a topic in NCLEX

    I passed on my first try. I only studied for about a week and here was the strategy that worked (it also brought me high HESI grades in school): If you dont know the best answer, narrow it down to two and go with the second best if you have to. Don't...
