Make sure when you are practicing review questions, that you are not answering the same questions that you have answered correctly before. It is a waste of time answering questions that you already know the answer to. It also gives you a false sense of security. "I got a 90 on that test, I got this" except that most of the questions you have answered numerous times and memorized the answer. That is why I liked Kaplan. It allowed me to generate a test with only questions I missed and questions that I had not seen before.

I used Uwolrd also, but for NCLEX PN. I bought it 5 days before my exam. I was able to do 600+ question and my percentage were at the range 38% to 61%. I also used NCSBN online course for about 7 weeks. As of now, I'm waiting for my official result. I tried the PVT miltiple times and after 48hours and its a GOOD POP UP.

Nursetobe89 that is what is so frustrating . To get the entire test more then once. Honestly you go through all that school and it's a wasted degree if you can't pass boards. It just disappoints me. And I hurt for others as well. Because I know they work hard and study and still can't pass this test. I just want it done and over with.

Hey. Keep your chin up!!! I reviewed with ATI and Hurst the first time and failed. The 2nd time I tried Kaplan. I really liked that review book. Best of luck to you!
