You said you did the Kaplan review, but I am curious if you went through all QTs and QBanks and all rationales..?
Kaplan was all I used to review and I did just what they told me.. For every single question I missed, I looked up everything I could find on that topic - as in, if I had pernicious anemia and missed the medication, I look up the cause, population affected, medications, symptoms, etc... It took a LOT of time, I was studying 6-7 hours every day for exactly 4 weeks.... I took notes, wrote down little topics I wasn't familiar with, read through every rationale for every question choice since I found it offers additional information... 2 days pre-testing, I went through ALL my notes...
I took my NCLEX today @75 qs and got majority SATA and PVT with the good pop up, so I am hoping this is a good sign...
hi Miniangel2.. I read your PM but i cant reply coz i guess i dont have enough post.. anyway, do not let this failure for the 3rd time put away a dream in your heart.. keep that dream burning and let that Faith and Determination take you to a better place...
get a good Conetent based book, read cover to cover... then practice the questions, then practice again with the PDA by Lacharity...
Do not give up... This is only a test of faith...
Goodluck :)
Don't give up! It WILL happen! I passed the first go, and I owe a lot of my success to the Hurst Review! It was all I used to study while working full time! If you haven't tried it, look into it! Have faith, and best of luck to you!! Hang in there!
Thanks i did look up Hurst before i started my review but my aunt said to go with Kaplan, so yeah, but thanks ill look it up again and Congratulations to you i hope to be one too one day

Hi everyone,I've heard so much about this site and read a lot of the posts here about the people who are having difficulties with their studies and even those about the success that these people have, i just wanted to ask some people there who same as me did not pass yet their NCLEX-RN exam, it already took me 3 tries, first of all i took my first in the Philippines, failed with 75 questions, next when i got here to New York, i took my 2nd one right after i finished the Kaplan Review Center, ended up with another 75 questions but still failed, and my recent one was a few days ago and i had been self studying for a month or so and had 151 questions in total, and yesterday found out that i still failed, its hard to think that all that effort was for nothing, i had a very good feeling while taking my 3rd test and everything felt in place until i found out, now I'm just gonna try again, i heard that its going to take about 45 days before i can take the test in New York State is that right? and can anybody give me some advice on what i should do and things that might help me out on my next try. Thanks, most of the posts i read here are very comforting and i really feel that everyone here understands what the people are going through especially about these NCLEX exams and passing/failing....
