Re: 2nd time NCLEX-RN taker. Stopped at 180 questions!
Thanks everyone for the congrats! This is what I did to prepare myself for the next 45 days until I was able to retake the exam. Hopefully this will be of use to others:
1. Suzanne's 1st Tip
Do every single quiz at the end of each chapter of the Saunder's
Comprehensive Review NCLEX-RN Examination - 4th Edition. If I got
less than a 70%, I reviewed that specific chapter.
This book is great to review content.
2. Read Kaplan NCLEX-RN Exam 2007-2008 (with cd-rom):
Strategies for the Registered Nursing Licensing Exam
Read the entire book and do the 180 questions at the back
and the additional 180 on the cd-rom.
Their strategies helped with each question that I had during my exam.
3. Purchase Kaplan Qbank Questions for $300
It gives you access to around 1200 questions online that are very similar
to nclex style ones regarding topics and difficulty of questions.
This was really helpful since I thought the Saunders questions were too
easy compared to the actual NCLEX.

Have faith in yourself & PRAY!!! 
God is Good!!! 
. But alas I found out today that I PASSED too!! So I raise my glass to you and propose a toast--Congratulations to our achievements and may we never stop striving to be the best nurses that we and our patients expect! Cheers!
