I know it can be very discouraging when you fail a test as big as this. I have been there and I am willing to help anyone with study materials if they would like. I used the following
1. Prayer and Faith (consistently)
2.HURST
3.KAPLAN
4.NCSBN
I passed with 97 questions (I think) I found that Kaplan gave me good practice questions but when it came down to it Hurst made me understand so I didn't have to memorize. The last resource was NCSBN. People they make the test! Though kaplan was good for practicing, NCSBN I figured would have questions on the areas NCLEX would ask, and I was right. I also used the LaCharity book but when I found that I was good on delegation and priority I stopped using it.
This third time around I really believe that NCSBN and Hurst did it for me. If anyone would like more info/study aides just let me know

Guys can I please remind you of the Terms of Service of the site and not to ask for copyright material. If living in the US then any good bookstore or online store like Amazon will carry the books if outside the US then I am sure either Amazon or any local good bookstore can get the book
Thank you! You can purchase the kaplan book at barnes and noble and I heard hurst has a book in stores also. If u have a friend you guys can share the hurst online lectures.
I took the Nclex Rn once before and I failed . I'm
Talk it again on January . I am feeling very discouraged . I am lost Idk what to do . I have Kaplan, Kaplan book , exam cram . My scores are 59-60%. I do feel I am retaining info . I just feel weak , like I can't pass this test .
I finally received my ATT. Planning to use the NCSBN online review. I wanted to know if this program has any audio/video that covers the lectures or is the reviewer all reading based materials? I know some online reviewers have both video and audio and some only have audio lectures. I just wanted to know how the NCSBN online review works.
At the meantime, I've been using Saunders 5th edition for content. I'm excited but nervous at the same time.
The NCSBN is reading based. I do think is that the amount of information they give you is very overwhelming and I didn't go through it this time around. I used hurst as my content review and used NCSBN for practice questions. I will suggest whenever you do questions write the rationale for reach question and use that not book as a review when ur not by a computer. I did that and it helped a lot.
Thank you so much! Since you've said that the questions are just like the nclex questions, I think I will give the NCSBN a try. Congratulations on passing the exam. Best of luck to you!
