"Fear of failure must not be a reason not to try something" -Frederick Smith

Started my day by watching hurst video on respirstory, And ortho. Did some 19questions from my lipincotte ipad app under Biliary disorder topic and got 54% ..ekk! After reading all the rationales. I'm reading my Kaplan book again for reduction and risk potential since this is one of my 3 below the passing level.. Will be testing on sept 8 and kind of nervous since this will be my second attempt. But so far, my Kaplan scores are improving from 40-60s before my first attempt practice. Now I'm ranging from 50-70s with Kaplan. For Saunders 55-75s, and nclex 4000 50-70s. I did hurst first quiz out of 6 but got 65.5%. When I reviewed all of the questions, I found some careless mistakes. Anyway, God bless and good luck everyone..

Hi AspiringRn2b,

I don't have any experience with the exam yet. However, from your daily review, I feel that you will pass the exam this time. You will be rewarded according to your hardwork. Keep going your daily study, you will be fine. Let's fight this torture exam.

Finally, I came back to my cozy house. I unpacked some stuffs, and clean up. I felt so tired today, I didn't study any yet. Tomorrow I will study again. I can't believe that it is Sep already.

Hello everybody! I have been following your log a little bit. English is also my second language and I have had troubles studying. I always try to find motivation and self-confidence to face this exam, I have a hard time to stay focused though because it seems like I am so so so slow with studying...

Well, anyway, I was wondering where you got the hurst videos from? Is that online to buy?

I wish all of you the best and good luck of course! It´s just very inspiring to read all of your logs :)

Ch 11: 63.3% (Again, haven't done Musculoskeletal yet in Saunders)

Also, I am using my scores to highly encourage the Saunders book. When I am working through the PDA book, it is so evident what chapters I have not studied yet and which ones I have.
