I used Kaplan but I also took time for myself like exercise. You can't over work your brain. I would study for at Least two hours a day then rest.

It really depends on why you failed. Think back to most of your questions where they content, prioritization/delegation, critical thinking? If nothing really sticks out, are you a bad test taker?

I passed my RN Nclex the first time, 75 questions, in about 30 minutes. This is what I did:

-Hurst online for content if you need it and can afford it - I called it "Nursing school in one week" (if you don't need content pass on it)

-Kaplan Strategies

-LaCharity

-Saunders- my strategy was to take the end of chapter test, if I scored over 70% I moved on to the next, under that I read the entire chapter.

-Lots of question, pay for them if you want, but free would be just as good. You need to build up the mental stamina to answer questions and still be on your game.

-Relax, because having anxiety won't help. repeat the affirmation "Nclex is apart of my past, I have already passed"

-Jam to your favorite music the morning of the test, and on the way to the test center, it always put my in a really good place before taking exams.

I have been using ATi, Nclex Mastery App, and Saunders. I have been doing questions and lab reviews. This was at the advice of some of my RN instructors. I PM'd one of my instructors on FB because I was freaking out if I am really ready. Three people in my class failed and I was questioning if I am ready. She had me do an assessment and I scored a 92%. She said keep doing questions until you test. I test tomorrow (9-28) I am not studying today. Going to visit my parents and relax today. btw when you say you have 1 attempt left what do you mean? Do you have to take a refresher course then? Good luck!

I passed with 75q in about 40min. All I did was 25-50questions a day of Uworld. Uworld is awesome, check it out! Good luck, dont give up!

My nursing program used ATI, and I used Uworld which helped me the most. If you want to review content Saunders is good. I also used the NCLEX mastery app while I was on the go without my laptop. I passed in 75 in about an hour and 15 minutes. My test taking strategy is go with your gut. If you second guess yourself too much on a question you will probably end up getting it wrong. Also once you hit that button and go onto the next question, leave the previous one behind..don't worry about it anymore, its done. Uworld questions are harder than the NCLEX and the rationales are really good. I studied for about 6 weeks almost everyday, doing questions almost exclusively, about 100 questions per day. I was pretty confident when I walked out that I passed. You can do it, Good luck!

OP, is English your first language?

English is not my first language and I don't spell it that way but I can figure out it means "because".
