4th x NCLEX RN

might be that you are using SO many different books and guides that you are losing any sense of strategy. I stuck with kaplan. I failed my first attempt, looked at what categories were"at or near passing"and below passing, and focused on those strictly.

If you use the search bar, you'll find plenty of threads by people in the same boat as you, I also posted a bunch of tips on another thread

Is the Pearsonvue unofficial results accurate?

Is the Pearsonvue unofficial results accurate?

Absolutely yes.

Is the Pearsonvue unofficial results accurate?

When you pay $7.95 to Pearson Vue for Quick Results, of course it's accurate. It's what you PAID for.

The "trick" that far too many people are enamored of is a game, and is NOT accurate.

QR are unofficial but NOT inaccurate.

Hi!! I wanted to say that during nursing school we used the Hesi for our study test at the end of each unit. I failed all of them. Horrible test taker. So I went into my studying for NCLEX with a "I will not fail" attitude and did 6000 questions. No kidding. I sat down and divided it by the amount of time I had and each day did a certain amount of questions. It was around 300-600 a day. On the last day I bought the Select all that apply book and did every question in one sitting broken up by breaks. I also found the Delegation, Prioritization book very helpful. I did all of the new Hesi book questions. I was one that did use multiple books but I found UWORLD to be the best. The questions are verbatim to NCLEX and I was lucky enough to find a free trial for a month. My friends also used UWORLD but only could get the 1 week free trial. I also bought only the question bank for Kaplan and did that. Kaplan q-bank also was really hard and I never had a score over 54%, but I did pass the NCLEX. I also bought the online question bank form the NCLEX NCSBN site. I did all those too. For me it was reading the test taking strategies and doing thousands of questions. I had the NCLEX Mastery app on my phone which I 100% recommend because you can do questions anywhere. Sitting at stop light or in line at grocery store, you can whip out your phone and squeeze in the questions. I found the more questions I did the more repetitiveness of medications I saw but I would get the question worded differently. By the time I sat for NCLEX I could name almost every side effect for the drugs on the test because I had seen them so many times. I wish you the best of luck and remember this test is no way a reflection of how great of a nurse you are soon to be! I should add I did pass first try with 75 questions so some may say 6000 is a lot and crazy, it worked for me.

UWORLD is an online resource :)
