I PASSED!!!!!!!! Please read!

Published

Hey everyone!!! Just took NCLEX today and according to Pearson Vue I passed!!!!:) I never been so happy in my whole life! Ok so I just want to tell you all that it was my second time around. I failed miserably the first time with only 75 questions and today passed at 75! I have to give all credit to the HURST REVIEW and God. I took Kaplan my first time around and didnt have any luck. The second time around I did nothing but content that was given to me through Hurst. Every question besides the dreaded medication questions I answered today, I felt confident when answering them. I know everyone is different but I feel like that is the only way to pass. You can do thousands and thousands of questions but your chances of getting a question anything like it are slim to none. You have to have your content down, and when I mean down I am serious... it's the only way you can pass this exam. I walked into the test feeling confident and walked out feeling even better (which I hear is unusual). I struggled from the beginning to the end in Nursing school barely passing my classes, so If I can pass this stinking exam so can the rest of you! For all those taking it for the second, third or forth time around, don't give up! You can DEFEAT this darn exam! If you have any questions dont hesistate to message me at Nrsing06 at yahoo. Wish you all the best of luck!!!!

I too failed with Kaplan, and then I just recently took Hurst Review. I know that I need to know content in order to pass. Hurst stated that you need to know the content in order to answer questions. I am taking my exam again in less than two weeks. I've review Hurst notes and doing questions this time and I am getting more of them right then wrong. I am scoring in the 60 to 70's with NCLEX 3500 and Lippincott. I am positive that I will be prepared this time. I know how you feel when you fail at 75 as I did the same.

Thanks everyone!!! I can't wait to get the official letter in the mail. I forgot to tell everyone that the first time I took the NCLEX I actually failed in every area (embarrasing but true). Not one of the areas was above passing. I though to myself how in the world am I going to do this? I see a lot of people putting up there scores from Kaplan Q bank and agian I really feel like those scores are only good for your own confidence. I averaged any where from 55-60 and was able to pass still. I know everyone had different learning styles but for those who are terrible test takers you have got to feel 100% secure in the content. Not just in one area but in all. You have to endocrine forward and backward, percautions, and some how master your drugs. I think I had 15 or more drug questions!!! I saw a posting that I read a couple days ago, and Im not sure if she took Hurst Review but she copied and pasted all her notes and they seemed almost comparable to what I studied. Some how hunt those down for sure. If I can find it I will let you all know. I just can't remember what I typed in to get it to pop up.
