I'm sure that my case is similar to other people. I am a repeat nclex-rn test taker. 4th time nclex test taker to be exact. I am going to take it for the 5th time in mid-February after 45 days.
1st time: failed at 75-really bad
2nd time: failed at 188-near passing in all categories
3rd time: failed at 75-maybe test anxiety....It's really weird. You would think that there is no way that you could do worse than before when you studied more and differently.
4th time: 265 questions. I did pvt and got a bad pop up. Now I am waiting for my cpr.
I was wondering what other resources that are out there that I could use. I have already used kaplan, davis, lippincott, and pda. I have tried getting a tutor. She stated that I have a good base of content review. However, I will still go over content. I have used the decision tree from Kaplan, but for some reason, I didn't pass. I went over all rationals, even questions that I got right. I took only anti-anxiety med just for the nclex. I am done crying and want to start studying again. I am not going to stop until I pass. Any advice? Please and thank you.
Im on the same boat have taken my nclex a couple of time Im done with Kaplan the decision tree was not helpful at all for me, Im thinking about trying the NCSBN q bank its not to pricey any thoughts on that program? I just really need help how to break down the questions
I've tried NCSBN's 3-week course and I was overwhelmed by all the info they provide there. Don't get me wrong, it's a good review course for its price but their rationale for the practice questions are just ok. They will just tell you why a certain option is the correct answer, they won't tackle why those other options are not the best fit for the question. I dunno, you might wanna try it. Besides it's only $50 compared to spending hundreds of dollars to other review courses. I have complied notes from my online review at NCSBN, if you want I can email it to you. Just message me. :)
