There are two things you need to pass the exam: knowledge on content and good test taking skills. Exam cram will help with your test taking skills because it is very similar to NCLEX. Maybe exam cram wasn't for you. Maybe you need to focus on the content. Anyway, this is just my opinion.

honey with examcram and other books I went last year straight to hell and didn't pass. I was wasting my time and nobody told me. what direction to go.Yes, the material is ok and you need to know it but nclex asks about different things...
Kaplan, Saunders, LaCharity and Infection control-thats will be your choice. I made nclex on second try with these books. Good luck to you!

Some people find that in person or online review courses are what helps them to go in the right direction. Good luck with your studying.

I'll rather advise to read up your content all over again and understand each topic before practicing question. At time we student cram to pass and find out later the topic is never digested properly not until will make mistake failing. God Luck!

I personally used examcram and found it to be very similar to NCLEX. I failed boards 3x and got on this wonderful site and learned about Saunders, LindaLaCharity (a must), and examcram.

Do you mean you failed 3X after using ExamCram? Or passed after using EC?
Thank you

A review resource is what you make out of it. For some exam cram is great and some exam cram sucks! Let me say this re-learn your content first! I had to learn that the hard way!! Once you learn you content any question you tackle will be a breeze!!! :specs: my motto is, "you can do questions all day until you are blue in the face if you don't know your content or have an idea, you will have a higher chance of anwsering the question wrong"
