Failed with 75 questions

I have a Kindle & downloaded LaCharity off Amazon. :-)

Amazon or B&N it's a kindle or nook version but can be viewed on a PC or tablet.

Thank you !!

hi hmahdoui - i'm sorry you didn't pass! but keep staying as motivated as you are, you will pass!! i have no doubt

do you have any tips for taking it? i've done about the same review as you for the exam and around the same scores. do you think content or strategy was more of a problem?

I personally would practice how and why you are answering the questions the way you are. You really need to look for key words and clues in the answers and questions such and "alike answers" etc. THEN you need to take that with you to the NCLEX. Make sure you use the same strategy when taking the actual test. I used Saunders and the HESI Comprehensive for NCLEX. Both give strategies for test taking, study THOSE!!! THEN.....practice the questions over and over and over.

This book is excellent for breaking down questions and how to narrow down options. Its only about 100 pages too so really quick review but great content.

If you are not already doing so, keep in mind that you should go over your right answers as well. Like grudgrime said, it is more often about how the question is worded and what multiple choices they use to make you critically think. To be honest I didn't really study content for my NCLEX because that is what nursing school is for , I used my Kaplan books only to brush up on meds and to brush up on some topics. Pace yourself and try not to overwhelm yourself with content.

Good Luck!!

Remember, the NCLEX is based on four major principles: understanding the four concepts of becoming a competent, entry-level nurse:

1. Safe, effective care;

2.Health promotion;

3.Physiological Integrity;

4.Psychosocial integrity

Will determine WHAT the question is asking you; the question may be Respiratory related-but is it a Health Promotion or a Safety, or a Physiological or a Psychosocial one? Would you know the difference and choose the BEST answer?

Once one understands the concepts of NCLEX, they can do so successfully.

It appears the you need to learn to understand WHAT the question is asking you; THEN review the rationales, THEN if you don't understand the rationale, look to the sources of information.

Best wishes.
