Failed 2nd time..HELP

Ok so i just got my letter stating that i failed yet again. I was above in one category and near passing in the rest. My question is i have used Kaplan twice now and obviously it isnt working. so what should i do so i can pass this 3rd time around? What is anyone thoughts on Brilliant-nurses? or NCSBN? I am going to watch the videos on kaplan that break down the questions because this last time i tested i got all 265 so i think i know the content and maybe i just need to figure out how to break down the question better?

    I used NCSBN before. Their questions are really good!

    I used Hurst, Kaplan, Saunder's, NCSBN and La Charity. While I liked Kaplan (i.e. their hard cover book, qtrainers,qbank) I most especially liked their question videos. Did you watch any these? These are really good (about 300 questions in sets of 10) and they show you how to break apart the stem of the question and evaluate/eliminate answers. Very helpful in critical thinking and breaking down NCLEX questions!! Overall, I thought Kaplan was great for questions and strategy, I used HURST and Saunder's for content and NCSBN (good for content though excellent for questions).

    While I studied "a lot about everything" as NCLEX is broad I made sure to know a lot of strategies/tips too. Do you feel you need more tips/strategy? Or, a bit of both? Either way, NCSBN will definitely help as their content is very good (though just a bit long/wordy) though the questions are great.

    Make a daily plan and put in the time - you will rock NCLEX next round!

    Thanks for your input! I didn't watch the question videos the last 2 times but I'm going to watch them this time around and I think I'm going to purchase the NCSBN and do it for 3 weeks. I mean the Kaplan videos on content where long and boring so I'm sure I can get through the NCSBN ones. I'm sure I could use more tips/strategies.
