Hi! I want to thank everyone who helped me in this website. You guys are the best! I'm a foreign graduate and took nclex the first try last May 17 and had 3 months to study before my big day. The only review course I'm using was Kaplan online review, Saunders and exam cram. This 3 helped me understand the concept on how to take the test. In my opinion, Kaplan was very helpful! I find the nclex similar to their questions or even kaplan was harder than nclex. They are really good in preparing you for your test. I took all their test my scores are the following: Diagnostic test: 46% Q1: 47% Q2:55% Q3: 53% Q4:543% Q5:57% Q6:56% Q7:54% Readiness test: 60% Qbank average: 53% As what you've noticed I only got 60% once! The key is to read rationale, right down notes and read it often. Also, PRAYERS!! I told my family and some close friends that I'm taking the test and would really appreciate if they include me in their prayers! I guess prayers really move mountains, so PRAY!! From this experience, I've learned to never ever give up on your dreams and not by any means doubt on yourself!! Believe and stay positive!!
