What is the main issue you are having?

The NCLEX can be overwhelming, and there are several schools of thought on how to study. 1. Kaplan - use test taking strategies 2. Learn core content - Hurst, and Feuer.

I like combining the two schools of thought. 85% content and 15% test taking strategies.

The trick for me was to assess where my weak points were, and concentrate on those weak areas emphasizing core content understanding.

The following worked for me: ATI tests to find weak areas, Davis RN Success - to practice on weak areas, Feuer cd - to learn content, Hurst to learn core content.

Hurst was great. It helped me to get my core information in quickly, and it was simple. It helped me to think with the material.

Feuer also helped as it went in more detail and it pretty much contained all content I needed.

Many people have taken the exam many times so hold in there.
