If you are taking NCLEX in English, you need to learn English first.

Without the language, you can do all the test preps and questions out there and still fail with 75 questions.

You grammar isn't understandable that makes me doubt you understand what question asks.

One of the benefits of taking Kaplan is that they will assist you (free of charge) if you fail after taking their course. (In most cases).

I suggest you contact Kaplan ASAP and get some help from them.

I wonder how was your scores in kaplan? you need atleast 65% in all qbank and question trainer for chances to pass the exam. did you meet atleast 48-50%?

I wonder that you only answered kaplan questions? how was the content did you read their book? did you watch all the content video that was included also?

kaplan questions are application and analysis questions. critical thinking. you cannot use their decision tree if your in the knowledge level which is below the passing level.

you may need to read read read books in english. why not try to read NCLEX review books in english. talk to americans. talk in english. and if you think you cannot remember things read it all over again. there is nothing wrong.

I think the best books if you were starting is saunders comprehensive review, then answer the questions in cd which is 4,000+ before you go to kaplan again see if your score improves. i think they will give you 50% discount the second time. kaplan questions is difficult you cannot go directly with them without knowing the content. and if you can afford find some review courses that will teach you the content if u cant do it by yourself.

GO,GO,GO you can do it.

Given your Original Post, I would recommend that you take an entry level English class to brush up on your reading and comprehension skills.. Maybe after that when you take the NCLEX, you will find is easier.

Sometimes, its hard to understand what the question is asking if you are struggling with the language.

Good Luck to you.

Suggest you take a course in the English language.

If you want to get help, learn to write professionally first. You could start refreshing with the contents per system followed by answering questions. After you have done this, do as many comprehensive questions as you can until you are ready to challenge the exam.

hi preetimini

I understand from where you were coming from means confused n not passing exam but your way of writing was like texting someone. I know your english is not weak. You did your nusing in english from india. so don't worry . I don't think so you need to take course in english to sit for this exam. its only you had written in text mode. So relax. Pray to God and start again. However, this site is really really helpful. Wonderful people here to help you. And trust me i had met professional and God gifted nurses here who really helps me without even knowing me. I salute to those people who had made this site.

Good luck. we all can do it. God will be with us.

I agree with gold 2010. you dont need to take english course. the reading level of the NCLEX-RN exam is that of a junior in an american highschool (11th grade).

Since you just came here in the United States 1 yr. ago as what I have told you, talk with americans, talk in english, read, read and read in english (NCLEX-RN) because I see that you dont have enough preparation with nclex its not because of english. I remember the saying, "The more you read, the more you know, the more you know, the smarter you are, the smarter you are , the smarter your voice". LOL

One day, you will never know.. RN beside your name. Just do everything you can to pass Nclex. even americans failed the nclex the first time so dont give up. your just starting. its not because of english!!

65%? Most people here get in the 50s and they still pass. Did you get that information from a Kaplan instructor himself?
