apparently, ive been waiting for other people to start a support group for may nclex takers.....but no....so here i am.....
im taking my nclex on the 7th of may...hopefully, i pass this time. im tired of living a non-RN life......
thanks guys, i m still in shock.thanks to suzzane and kaplan, my 618dollar was not in vain, i did kaplan complete online for foreign students had bad qbank scores but read thru all the rationales both the ones i got right and the ones i got wrong, i got 58% on average at the end of last week on my last questions in the qbank.
i did saunders cd but those were so easy i did less than 500questions, cos i had seen the nclex b4 and i knew how it was, i tell you, i got 2 exact replica of kaplans questions on the test, i strongly recommend kaplan, if only you'll take time to study the questions and use internet too
if you can do only 50 questions a day and know their rationales, do just that dont be in a hurry and learn nothing.
last but not the least, i used lacharity, mosbys prioritization, delegation and assignment book,.
i ll still be with you guys till the end, any question let me know, i can talk now, i am rn, b.n.sc
congrats!!!
thanks for the advise...
funny i had a lot of pharm questions i knew nothing about but i still made it.i see a med, i dont even know which group it belongs not to talk of even knowing if what i m been asked is true or false
how long did you review before you take the exam? i'm testing end of june and i feel like i'm running out of time...
My fingers are crossed..... i was doing a bit better than you from the sounds of it on those kaplan assessment and ati assessments but still i dont know (nor think) that I passed it..... waiting is killing me slowly as each day i feel more discouraged...
Keep telling myself I have to give it at least a week... and then some.... keep telling myself no news is good news, but i have a horrible feeling.... your post gives me hope........ THANK YOU and congratulations!

Hello all....I am taking the PN Nclex on May 15th @ 3:45pm. I am having high anxieties, and constantly have a recurring dream that I fail. I have been studying with Saunders, and Exam Cram, but I have come across items that we have never learned about. In my school we had to complete ERI tests, at the end of every semester, and boy were those a pain. My DON of the school told me that if I could pass the ERI PN test that I would breeze through Nclex. Can anyone attest to this? God Bless all who are taking the test this month....GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!! My prayers are with you!!
I`m going to take the exam end of may too! I took it in january and failed, now I give it another try...I did suzanes`s first tip, but i don`t think it`s enough time to continue with it. i studied so much that i know the questions in 4 books by heart now...don`t know what else to do? i`m afraid i won`t pass this time either and then i`ll just give it up!

thanks for the input, i just now took kaplan q trainer 6, and got a 56%, i feel awful, when i was taking it , i felt pretty good, then i clicked the review button to see my score and uugghh 56%--not good, ive been scorirng mid 50'-mid 60's so i guss im conssitent. i have some hope though, ive read some stroies on here were ppl have scored like me on the q-trainers and passed. I will do q trainer 7 on monday, finish up my last ends of studying and take tuesday off, test on weds.

I went into the test room and felt I was doing pretty well until I was getting questions about diseases that I haven't even heard of. Then I got to question 75 and it did not shut off once I hit the next button. In fact it did not shut off until I got to question 265. The whole time of the test I was wondering when will this shut off, and how am I going to pass this. Well I got my results today and I am a Registered Nurse.
With that being read I will now go and take a nap again....instead of feeling anxious waiting for results..thanks for the post very encouraging...I was lost for most of the 265 questions...and also waited about 5 months...but you definetely had more pressure than I did to succeed..thanks for posting:).
