I am scheduled to take nclex for the 3rd time tomorrow and I need your help. ( I have been reviewing material for about 2mos)
I studied and read most of Saunder's 4th ed. before taking the exam the 2nd time and i felt I did not need to re-read it for my 3rd attempt at Nclex. I basically reviewed some of the questions and re-read the rationals. However, I did read the area that I was below passing in.I also used the LaClarity prioritization and delegation, and NCSBN learning extension Q&A only. The only content I reviewed was through reading rationals.
I did review some meds classes but not all. This morning I did about 50 questions from question trainer #7 ( Kaplan) and my score was only 62%. Should I reschedule my date. I am exhausted and my husband is growing weary and says he wants his wife back. What would you do take the exam or hold off? Heeeeeeeeeeeelp! I never feel ready for this test.

I agree, I don't think you're ever feel really ready regardless of how you prepare. Since you're scheduled for tomorrow, I would go ahead and take it. I think you have to give 24 hours of notice before changing your date or time anyway, although I'm not positive.

Your score on the 7th trainer sounds good! If you want to get technical, since 65% = a 98% chance of passing the NCLEX, then a 62% should equal a 93.5 % chance of passing. That is how I would look at it anyway...

Good luck! Go in there knowing that the 3rd time is a charm! Try your best to relax tonight (get your husband to massage your shoulders!) and knock it out tomorrow!

I know friends that scored 52-57% on those and they passed with 75 questions. I think it is the frame of mind that matters most. Remember to think safety! Use the basics (ABC's and common sense!) Don't sweat the questions that seem impossible, most likely they are! You're supposed to miss 50% of the exam anyway, don't get frustrated and just give it your best shot.

It has been well over a year ...but I recall that my Kaplan Question Tainer # 7 was 62%. I passed!

Good luck to you...you can do it!

I just want to thank everyone who responded to my thread with words of encouragement.

Just to let everyone know I did take NClex this am and the computer shut off between 75-80 questions. I'm not totally sure where it stopped b/c I didn't look at the question# after 63.

However, I was out of there pretty quickly as compared to the 2times I had taken it before. So either I did really well or poorly.

Anywho, i'd rather the computer determine competence or incompetence at q75-80 rather than 265. Because, sitting in that test center for hours and having to do 265q is soooooooo draining. When you fail, failing at 75 is the same as failing at 265 b/c ya still need to go back to the drawing baord and study. With all that being said I believe that the 3rd time is a CHARM. I pray and hope that this was my final attempt at NCLEX. I believe God will bless me with my RN license. Unfortunately, my results aren't going to be in for 2-3wk, b/c snails have taken over the California board of nursing offices. Pray for me prayer worries and thanks for your support allnurses.
