exam cram is one of the best study guides you can get on the market.it mimicks the real nclex exam and the actual practice exam will cut off at the passing number (75,76,88,or whichever number).its good value for money.it comes as a hard copy(book) and a cd with all you need to prepare for nclex.the only thing is the content is not very detailed so you may wanna use another good book like mosby or lippincott. i personally am not too much of a saunders or kaplan fan coz saunders let me down when i took the exam the first time.i just retook the exam monday the 10th and felt as though i was more in the game this time. when i took the exam the first time, computer shut off at 75, i left the test center knowing i had failed, went home and continued to study. of course i was right, i failed at 75qs. i also heard of exam cram from one of the threads, bought it for 25bucks or so and got to work.dont forget to use another good book with in depth content as suggested earlier.use this book for about 8 weeks taking anything between 75-100 qs a day, believe you me, you ll feel different(confident).

needless to say that i m a foreign educated nurse (UK)and when i first started studying for nclex, i was overwhelmed by the stuff i had to cover but after using exam cram, i felt like i could do it.

i m still waiting for my results, will probably be able to view them today on the quick results link.i have already tried the pearson vue trick(in case you havent heard what this is ,,,you attempt to schedule a test with pearson vue and if it lets you make the payment, chances are you didnt pass, if it stops you from making the payment, most people say this means a pass.)i know this is not official but right now its helping with the anxiety.i hope this answers yo question.

so go ahead, and start preparing and good luck.

i don't understand how it cuts off when your at passing? Im finding it really confusing. I took the pretest and now i'm on the drills, which one is set up like a CAT the drills or the simulated exam? because mine isn't doing that. Am i doing something wrong? I have exam cram (cram master 2)

i found out yesterday that i passed.

anyway, back to yo question.how cram works is after taking the 3adaptive drill tests several times (can be up to 1000 qs per test) and passing above 75% for test 1, you ll be automatically directed to test 2 where you got to do loads more qs, some of the qs keep popping up but thats how cram drills you,and when you get 85%and higher ,it takes you to test 3 where you got to get 95%and higher.my advice is when you go to the historic analysis, look at how many questions unanswered you got left and just attemp to answer them all.when you ve done all this, you then will take the simulated test. by this time, cram already knows your weak areas and it will test you on these.

during testing, if you reach a passing mark at 75 or whatever number of qs, the exam ends, just like the real nclex.but for now concentrate on taking as many adaptive drill tests as you can cos there s thousands of qs to answer. only when you get three passes (you will see yo scores in the historic analysis)thats when you take the simulated test.

i hope this helps

you d have to buy it online, i bought mine from amazon for 25-30bucks.great value for money .read my other posts regarding this issue cos i strongly recommend having another good nursing text book for content.exam cram is mainly about drilling you to pass the exam, a bit like kaplan without the online access and text books but of course for 10times cheaper. exam cram has basic content, it doesnt go into details too much, its main focus is drilling you to be able to answer the real nclex exam and it does that . the other thing is the rationales are not as detailed as nclex 4000s ,thats why i recommend using both.it worked for me, i did my nurse training in england, uk where they use a totally different system so it can work for anyone.if you dont like mosby(my favorite)or lippincott(another good book) ,get nclex 4000 online for under 30bucks ,combine exam cram and nclex 4000 and you ll notice the difference in a few weeks. aim for 150-200 qs a day and i tell you its way better than kaplan.i took the kaplan 3yrs ago and didnt think it was that good ,just expensive.it works for some but in these times, try my advice and just be consistent with your studying. also take time off studying one day or two a week and continue to do the things you like to do.
