I failed 2 months ago. I found Vipra med which seems to be a great practice test with over the phone support. The only problem is no one has given any reviews as how well they are. In the testimonies they claim to have used them only, when I began using them it felt like the exam itself. I would like your input, they have a free trial where they give you 10 question at a time. I would love to hear your input on this sight. I am sorry to hear you had not passed, was it for RN? vipramed.com

so sorry. take a little break and then get back to studying. change your study patten and also try a new live review material may be kaplan hurst or whatever. may be get a tutor or find a study buddy. you will do well next time. dont buy new books so you dont get confused.

You are not alone. I failed mine for the second time a couple weeks ago, it is the most horrible feeling especially since all my classmates seem to have passed the NCLEX. Right now I am having a hard time studying, I'm just so exhausted even thinking about the test, and then with my job and Christmas on the way, I just don't know where to start. I have been reading textbooks here and there but nothing serious. I just don't know how to break up my study sessions or how long to study for. Any ideas or advice? I know that one day we will both pass, it's just hard to pay for the test and everything over and over. It's so expensive.

I too feel as you do scm0831, I decided to postpone my nclex once again. I have gone through so much study material its killing me. My family has been extremely stress hoping that I would take the test asap, but I do not feel ready. I have got onto vipra med, this sight seems so awesome but no one knows anything about it. I use saunders and vipramed to study trying my best to use the nursing process, ABCs, maslow, and labs with every question. I still miss 20-30% of the answers. If I pass the nclex I am writing one hell of comment comparing what I have learned to material I used.

One reason I decided not to retake at this time was my research on tips & tricks. Looking up these made me realize I am not ready. I hope to hear a response from someone about this vipra med sight soon.

These test are difficult and I am up the same alley as you. I am trying for the second time on nclex pn. One thing that stood out to me was how to understand the question and answer them. I realized there maybe a trick involved. Such as how to look at what is being asked, ID the problem, and then use the nursing process. I still have problems with the questions, after 2 1/2 months to my surprise I still can not even out above 80% on assessment test. I use Saunders and vipra medical study reviews. But it is much better than before because it was much lower when I tried after my first time taking the nclex. I hope to read some more tips and tricks that will open that door. For me its not time to be a negative person right now I take my nclex next week.
