Hi everyone,
I am taking the nclex tomorrow morning. I failed it the first time using Saunders so this time around I used uworld. I finished the entire question bank with a 54% average. I am worried that it may not be enough. What were your percentages? Also, is the nclex harder than uworld?
Today is the last day I can study so I am going over questions I marked.

I haven't gotten my results back yet so I can't say whether it worked or not, but I used uworld, Hurst and Nclex mastery. On uworld I averaged out at about 60 percent. I finished in 75 questions and tested yesterday I will have my results tomorrow. What I can tell you is that uworld is almost exactly like Nclex even down to the screen and calculator (I had 1 math in the beginning of my exam). It was very comforting because it felt like I was just taking another practice test with uworld. Good luck tomorrow, oh and I have heard that with uworld if you are in the 50 percent range you are doing good!

I would say Uwolrd was very comparable to NCLEX level difficulty. I took my test on 7/23 and passed in 75 questions. Many people on allnurses have averaged in the 50s and passed no problem. Don't focus on your percentage at this point. Relax and walk in there with confidence and kill it! You can do it. Confidence and staying calm is key. You can only study and prepare so much... Being the day before I would just take it easy.

Don't worry about your percentage !I did about a 1000 questions on uworld and ended up with a 54 % I passed the nclex on 75 questions !! I don't think the nclex was harder i think the questions were pretty straight forward but the answers were a bit vague so it was difficult to choose between 2 answers. I think uworld gives more details to the questions and answers but they nclex questions aren't as detailed. It's more about how you can break down the question and use your critical thinking. If you have practiced with uworld you will be fine ! Good luck :)

Nclex is no where near harder than the uworld. Atleast for me it wasnt. I averaged a 47 w. 1800 questions. Went up to maybe 112-114. Make sure you are on point with your priority questions.
