The key to your success will be the summary of how you did on your last NCLEX test. Which subjects are you weak on and which ones are you almost passing?

I can't say this enough but if you can answer 1000s everyday for a month before your NCLEX test then do so. Do it when you first wake up and right before you go to sleep when your mind is tired.

I'm sorry to hear that. It must be very difficult for you but don't give up and don't lose hope. You've been through a lot already so keep pushing on becoming an RN. Answer as many questions as you can and I think you need to review your contents. Saunders and HURST are good with contents. NCLEX 3500 or nclex 4000 are free online. Since you have KAPLAN, review them or retest, I heard they have the best Q&A. Good Luck! God bless! :D

I understand how you feel..I will be testing for the third time real soon..I have reviewed with Kaplan/Hurst/ncsbn..and many more..I would suggest to base your review on your last report...ask yourself?..is it content? strategies? or plain anxiety?..For me, It is anxiety and content..Now, I can say with confidence that I am great with content and feel alot more confident on my answers...I know I should of passed last time if I finished the entire test, unfortunately ran out of time...So far, I feel that Lippincott 11 ed is the best source for me..I love their CD (answered 1326 questions in 2 wks..which I am feeling great on my timing now..lol)..you can do it!..set a schedule and apply it the best that you can..Right now I am going over Comprehensive tests 1-6 behind Lippincott's book and go over my rationales...Wish you all the best!! God bless:)

pick one review book and go with it. you are going to information overload if you try to review them all. Just pick one. it will have all of the information you need. Its better to read and remember one book worth of info than read 10 different review books and barely remember the titles.
