Hi everyone and my future fellow nurses! I'm a foreign graduate nurse and graduated 10 years ago. I worked already as a staff nurse some other countries but of course I need to take the exam here. I already read Saunders and I'm getting a good scores. My auntie suggested that I should take NCSBN because it will help me a lot but when I take pretest I only got 42%. Now, it's already my 3rd day and all my post test are still 45% didn't even reach 60% and there's no improvement, there was once I got 85 but I don't think that's enough. I'm getting more disappointed everyday. I didn't take Kaplan and Hurst because I don't have enough budget for that kind of review. Can anyone suggest me with a new question banks that is cheaper that will really help my stagnant brain?? I have already schedule on July 30 to take the exam and my head is spinning right now coz my scores are unsatisfactorily acceptable.

Try Uworld this is most similar to NCLEX and the rationales are very detailed.

I heard about good feedbacks about Uworld. After my NCSBN review, I will definitely get this review. Can I get this together with the Kaplan? Or Uworld is enough. I'm having good scores now but still not enough.

Did you have to pay for the NCSBN? Also, stay positive you have over 60 days or so to prepare, I would say that is good amount of time to improve your scores! Keep at it!

Thanks ! I really need that. I'm improving but still not enough. I purchased the 3-week course and on my 4th day now. I'm improving on my post test. And I think I really need more rest too. After 3 weeks I'm going to get the 1 month subscription to Uworld coz I heard a lot of feedbacks about it. í ½í¸Š
