Passed my NCLEX as a foreign nurse

Nursing Students NCLEX

106 questions!

Here is my study tips!

Nscbn 8 weeks , this had a huge amount of content , but was really good, i actually did this review twice! I know a lot but i failed my first

then hurst , this a a great course! I cant recommend this course high enough ! However due to there lack of questions to practice on i ended up with kaplan!

I did about half of kaplan , i felt on my test that a lot of the questions were at kaplan difficulty level !

I used Kaplan mainly for strategy! I still have 6 weeks left of this course remaining , i did q trainers and got between 55 -64 % , i did q bank and that was the same , hurst tests were 80/125 , so not really high scores , my last week i did PDA and did the first 21 chapters, this really helped! I scored 60 to 75% ,

Thats all i really used , i think the hardest thing was trying to keep-myself constantly up to speed in all the topics required for nclex, thats were hurst helps the most as a video is 40 mins to an hour , i am absolutely delighted about passing and see myself as lucky to do so as its a hard exam! Happy my study paid off ! Good luck and god bless to everyone else!

I will say congrats to you!

I would not recommend hurst, please see my prior thread about my experience.

I took my exam today, if I failed, ncsbn, is where I may turn to next....I don't know, I really don't!!!!! :(

Sorry you think you failed your test :( i will read your review of hurst and i too did nscbn twice!! Its good but a lot to learn , i would recommend it tho,

Ps i think its normal to think you failed , i tell you i felt i got the last 2 answers correct on my test, but i was still sceptical

Also you know once i got past 75 i was delighted cos i thought well i have not failed yet, i know these next couple of days will be hard! I felt sick with worry,

Well, I finally caved and bought my quick results, 10 minutes ago and low and behold I passed!

To say I am shocked is an understatement! As I replied above, there was no way I thought I passed.

The only thing I will say is this: SATA's HAVE to be UPPER level questions, they HAVE TO BE. I had 25, maybe more, 3-4 in a row, there is no other explanation for how I passed at the minimum of 85 questions and it shut off.

I know some people say they aren't but they had to be for me.

Well, I will say KAPLAN worked for me, that is quite obvious by me passing and that was ALL I used for my 2nd time. It is definitely worth it if you can afford it.

Onto my RN now with excelsior college. Wish me luck. Best of luck to all and if you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask.
