First of all I want to thanks GOD, alee70 for kaplan QT, cspink for sharing thread of SPIDERMAN mnuemonics, my very supportive husband and this site helps me a lot from all posted info….. I owe them!

I’ve read some contains from NSNA Complete review for NCLEX-RN, Lippincott Q&A almost half of the book, switch to SAUNDERS read the Q&A book cover to cover, half of Saunders CD, exam cram CD Qs 4days b4 the test….. Kaplan strategy book 2010 and CD&QT took exam until QT6 only (I even cried for my scores and PRAY a lot) no time to go QT7 so decided to just read directly the Qs&rationale, haven’t read the Kaplan SATA, La Charity prioritization book haven’t read the last chapter.

My husband waited outside the test center and PRAY a lot 5x lasted 5-10mins, make sure I read carefully and understand Qs because I’m a foreign graduate, April 2008, even on pretty obvious Qs (never changed answers) still read at least 3x, reworded, at first Qs are easy until getting harder, until SATA 20 more or less, drugs 20more or less (I applied prefixes and suffixes, I got 6drugs correct only upon checking on my book), prioritization, delegation, few maternal&child, no computations, teaching, care and communications, infection control. On the hardest Qs I applied Kaplan strategy and make sure I PRAY every click of the mouse that GOD hold my hands. Took a break, deep breathing every 2-3Qs, while taking a break eat, drink and PRAY in the bathroom….. took me less than 3hrs including breaks…. I felt 50% pass and 50%fail, but I believed strongly GOD’s promises, after the test we went shopping my husband told me my face is glowing and I can laugh doesn’t look like I’m worried unlike b4 the test I couldn’t smile, palpations controlled by HIM! I said I just believe in GOD everything is possible in HIM, I cannot do anything without HIM who strengthen me. Even if I cried whole day whole night, the exam is over, couldn’t do anything. “TO GOD BE THE GLORY, I GIVE HIM PRAISES AND HONOR HIM” He lend me HIS ears on my PRAYER with tears.

Keep reading on this site even on the last day of your test! STUDY HARD, PRAY HARDEST to your GOD!
Believed that GOD will never leave nor forsake you......HE is a living GOD!!! :red beathe

Re: Failed in 1st time Phil.board, 75Qs NCLEX passed 1st time

ohh! one more thing about the color of the screen monitor after shut off!
i've read some on this forum that if the monitor is blue after shut off then sign that you pass??? i think some doesn't work, mine is GRAY after completing the 75Qs and then come up with survey questions then blue. I really paid attention and noticed that the screen monitor is always blue before and after shut off, all beside and back of me had the same color BLUE...
