Hello Guys!

I graduated a month ago, and now facing the big "Monster" called NCLEX! I'm very nervous indeed, but I try to believe that I CAN pass this exam with no issue! I'm currently doing a 5-week course from NCSBN's learningext. I'm very worried as I'm always scoring in the low 60's on each posttest (given after each lesson). The passing grade is 75, and I have never gotten close to that..ever! Is that a bad sign?

I plan to take the exam on the 14th day of July..which is a month away! I started Pharm today, and I can say this: I FEEL LOST! There are so many side effects and other stuffs..How do I learn those?

Please did anyone have a good experience with learningext review???

I will also LOG IN my daily achievements..in regards to studying for NCLEX! You good people can help me stay responsible during this journey to SUCCESS!

Signed,

First and Last time NCLEX taker!

So, I have been goofing off a little since this weekend. But I made a calendar for myself, which I hope to follow earnestly!

P.S. I have been praying to St Joseph of Cupertino, I saw someone's post on here that said that helped her a lot. I'm a Catholic and I believe in the powerful intercessions of our patron saints. So I'm believing that prayer WILL work for yours truly. *faith moves the highest mountains*:bowingpur

Hello Leanjess,

I feel you. I am also studying for NCLEX. I have not decided on the date, but I am hoping to take it next month on the 3rd week. I have been studying for 2 weeks now. I have Kaplan for the test strategies, Hurst review for content & Lacharity. I love Lacharity. I have not seen any improvements on my test scores from the Kaplan Qbank, but I am positive that I can shape up within a month. So, hang in there! You are very dedicated.

Hello Naturelle,

Thanks for your kind words. I just started using La Charity this week, and the scores are so not encouraging! I always feel like a big failure after taking the test on various chapters! Is this ever going to change?! I test on the 3rd week of July too (16th)! The whole ordeal is just too demoralizing for me..it's like trying to lose weight, you are eating right and working out..but still no weight loss! Argghhh! I woke up today, and didn't feel like doing any studying..I was like hey! It doesn't even matter..you are not doing well on the questions (with studying)..why bother?

I'm trying to cover all the systems before the 16th..right now I'm on Neuro. I'm just praying and hoping that I pass..Bcos I don't know what I will do to myself if I failed (I can be very unstable..when emotionally traumatized :banghead:)

neuro meds (saunders) - content review

ncbsn pharm question bank 1: 70%

ncbsn self check practice questions 1: 61%

ncbsn self check practice questions 2: 50% (i'm honestly tired of all this low scores!)

lippincott alternate format (neuro): 14/17 or 82%

saunders exam mode (neuro+cardiac): 37/50 or 74%

well, guys..i don't know what else to do apart from studying my butt off every day! i'm struggling to improve my scores..i think it's because in nursing school, i'm used to getting high 80s and 90s. so with these scores, it's very depressing for me. it's like my efforts are worthless!!!!! arrghhh! #frustratedtomycore

when answering questions, i try to think my way out of them..but then i think about the various strategies and mnemonics...from there it all gets blurry and fussy in my head..can't think straight. thus, i end up reading into the questions or picking the wrong info. i've tried endless times to stop this, but it's proving so difficult for me.

i wish someone could help me with this...:crying2:

So I just finished reading this thread and you ended your posts here like an end of show "to be continued" LOL! I had to go into your profile to see your latest posts to see if you passed, and was thrilled to see that you did!! CONGRATULATIONS! :D I was wondering whether I should sign up for NCBSN and now I am convinced it can help me. I am still not scheduled for NCLEX, I should be getting my ATT soon, tho. I expect to test in early Sept. I hope to carry your inspiration with me! :)
