Finally passed...yay

[INDNurse88]

My fifth attempt was on Saturday and after trying the PVT trick and the unofficial results today, I conquered the mountain.

1st: I studied Saunders for 3 months and then took the Kaplan course. I was 50/50 in near passing or below passing on the nclex report. Exam stopped at 75.

2nd: Restudied Saunders and added la Charity and nscbn qbank. Exam ended at 88 questions and again I was 50/50.

3rd: Only took Hurst Review. Exam ended at 113 questions and I was near passing on all but 3 sections.

4th: Reviewed all my existing notes. Exam ended at 83. All sections were near passing.

5th: Subscribed to UWORLD and completed all the qbank. Studied the rationales on everything I missed and re took the qbank. The first time I had a 53% average. The 2nd time I had a 66% average. I took the exam and it ended at 118. I had 25 SATA a couple dose calc and that was it. I was sure I failed because SATA was my weakness.

Out of all the courses, books and qbank I subscribed to, I would rate UWORLD at the top. The rationales was extremely detailed and after completing 1500 questions and reading the rationales and taking notes, I felt I learned more than any book or course. After uworld I would recommend Hurst. The content review really assisted in hammering down the topics I may have forgotten.

It was a very tough year and a half. I wanted to quit, give up, change careers. My husband kept supporting me and with hard work and praying to the lord, I was finally able to conquer it. To my fellow foreign nurses, keep at it and don't give up. You can do it.

I find myself scoring in the mid 50s sometimes high 40s percentile when doing questions from Uworld. It is definitely harder than Kaplan. i am starting to feel discourage because of my scores.
