Took my exam on Monday and went through 265 questions. I felt confident because I was doing so well in Kaplan, around %65-%80 on qbanks. But I felt horrible after the exam, couldn't even drive. I tried the PVT trick and it lead me to the receipt page, I re-registered. It was the worse feeling!!! After that I didn't even want to view my quick results because I dislike the word FAIL. I still gave it a try and it just reconfirmed me failing.
Anyways, I always read here about people doing the PVT and having the good pop up, not enough about people who went through it and go to the receipt page.
After that I renewed Kaplan and I will purchase NCSBN's LearningExt or whatever it's called. Will go over content for sure. I also plan on buying LaChairty's PDA book.
Now I'm just waiting to schedule another exam day.
Is there anything else I should be doing but missing??????? If I am please please let me know, would soooo appreciate it.
UWorld is an online resource with a lot of questions with great rationals. I have done NCSBN and it is great and I like the questions. But I found the UWorld questions to be a little bit more challenging. Don't get me wrong I like NCSBN and learned a lot from there, but if you finish the qbank or feel like you are ready to step it up a notch, check out UWorld. The way it is formatted looks exactly like the NCLEX so it is great practice for the real thing.
2. Pearson Reviews and Rationales for NCLEX-RN by Maryann Hogan latest edition and do all the internet work involved. If you go through this book (and it will take you a long, long time plus all the questions in book and online) you don't need a review class. You do the first knowledge assessment and you'll be like "what?....." I don't remember that from school but you'll see it on the NCLEX and the questions are just like the toughies on the NCLEX, some all sound right and other questions they all sound wrong. But this book gets you used to that so you don't panic on the test, it gets you used to answering questions that you might not even know what they are talking about, especially since meds went straight to generic without brand name.
what about u world? i had both uworld and ncsbn... i really like uworld...hard questions tons of the alternative ones and sata. around 1500. great rationals..much better than ncsbn.. i passed nclex...i did over 4000 questions...it defenetly helped me..
Your scores on Kaplan were pretty solid. What happened on test day? Were you extremely nervous? I passed in 75 and my scores weren't even close to the 70's when doing Kaplan.

One question, I registered with Pearson. Do I need to register with the state I'm in?
