Second time around and I passed with 265!! No SATA, alternate format questions and no calculations! I used NCSBN learning ext, Saunders, NCLEX 4000 and most importantly, lots of praying and fasting. Do not give up. If you find that your using a program or study technique that is not working for you then use something else. Everyone's learning style is different and you can't compare what someone else used and expect that you can do the exact same thing and pass as well. But know that if you could have made it through nursing school, you can defeat this beast as well.
Good luck and trust God!
