Hello hopefully, I'm sorry to hear about your exam. What kind of review did you use?

A little off topic: Are you by chance posting via a cellphone?

[hopefullyNursetobe]

I really liked Kaplan. I had the review class, book, and access to their online tools. A lot of people here seem to like exam cram.

You should try exam cram and La charity! It helps a lot especially in prioritization and delegation.

Took the exam Yesterday NCLEX-RN I found that the Sanuders Q&A and Saunders Comprehensive books Newest edition. These 2 books went everywhere with me. I had exam cram and Kaplin which in my opinion we not all that great. ALSO one helpful book for bathroom, redlight, lunchtime , bedtime and anytime reading is Frye 3300 nursing bullets.

For your retake, study as if you had never tested before. You do not want to leave anything out by mistakenly telling yourself that you "already" know an area or question.

I am about to finish my RN program TONIGHT! and our school has brought in KAPLAN people. They are incredible! they have this "decision tree" thing that REALLY helps to eliminate answers when u get the choices "down to two choices" (dont we all) but it really seems to work.. i suppose i will find out in a few weeks. we were told that the nclex starts you off at the level at which you failed (like if u were missing basic questions it starts you there if you had moved up a level it starts there) Kaplan also offers an online diagnostic test (lots of them) and they apparently have over 90% pass rate if you do their program....hope this helps!
