Re: Failed NCLEX - study/answer tips?

After re-reading your original post.... How to answer a question when you have no idea what they question is talking about.....

NO ONE knows EVERY topic that is presented on the NCLEX. If we did, we wouldn't need to take the exam to begin with. That is what your Kaplan strategies helps you to determine. You may need to continue utilizing their strategies as you answer questions.

In essence, content is important but there are times that you WILL be able to answer an NCLEX question using Assessment/Implementation, Physical/Psychosocial, etc. You may be reading too much into a question and not clearly looking at ALL of the answers put before you.

Keep practicing....Just don't give up!

It is not cheap--but it is cheaper than the $499 full price (online videos, Qbank, etc.). I think the Qbank alone is $299.00.

There is a nursing website (organization) that contains the information you are looking for. I would suggest that you do a search of "NCLEX Question Trainers" or "NCLEX Question Trainer Explanations" on the internet. When you locate the site, you will find that it contains ALL 7 Kaplan Question Trainers and it is FREE!!! Although the site will not tell you what your percentages are for each test you take (you can calculate that on your own anyway...), the site will provide you with ALL 7 Question Trainers (about 1,050 questions!!!) along with the rationales. The site also has lots of Kaplan study tips, "questions of the day" and other study material...

...not allowed to place the web address within the AllNurses.com site so Good Luck with the search!!...

Do they have something like that for LPN?

If you end up with two answers, ask yourself, is it desired?Does it answer the question? Then read again the question. Also, use ABC and Maslow's.
