Sorry, I haven't taken it yet but I am planning on using Susanne4's plan. Have you tried that yet? I have a question, how do I post a question without starting a new thread? I'm new here. Thanks!

I am very sorry to hear about your failure. May I ask what have done each time before to prepare for the NCLEX? Some things that I found to be helpful were the NCSBN website @ learningext.com, feuer CDS @f-n-r.net and Kaplan course. Try to take other routes this time, good luck and do things that are geared toward your learning style.

wish I had some advice, I'm going to take NCLEX for the 1st time in Feb. I've been studying with saunder & the princeton review. I've been trying to complete @ least 2 sections a night including the post test & then @least 2X/wk I try to do a bunch of the questions on the cd. I graduated in Dec & started my new job last week, so it's been tough getting my study time in. Hopefully it'll pay off. I'm waiting to hear from some of the others in my class who take their test next week to hear how their methods worked for them. Most of them took the Hurst review & those who took the PNs passed.

Wish you the best of luck & keep working towards your goal.... sending thoughts of passing....

Yes, I found the NCSBN site to be very helpful. The Kaplan qtrainer was helpful as well to me. I think that the feuer cds help to reinforce what you already know in nursing and it highlights frequently tested content. I remember going to my car after NCLEX and looking in the study packet thinking, "I got this right" so I highly recommend feuer. Feuer's questions are not that challenging but they hit the nail on the head with the info.

Hey Ivy,

I did what you did and failed tree times. I saw that you are from california so have a look here www.nclex-tutorial.com They pushed me right through it. Good Luck !
