Failed NCLEX at 133 questions.. First attempt

UWorld is the bomb .com and cheap! I used hurst some because I needed the content. But after I got my ATT I solely used uworld. The rationales are like reading a book, so informative. For me it helped me a ton! And they layout was practically identical to NCLEX. Passed in 75 questions and I truly struggled so much through nursing school.

I would say do uworld. I've seen a ton of people who passed using it! Good luck to you and don't give up! You can do it!!

PURCHASE UWORLD & Lacharity's PDA ASAP! and re-take the exam within the 45 day period (if you can).

Be sure to still study ALL areas when you get your NCLEX report back but focus more attention to your weak categories.

Diligently stick to those two study materials above, make sure to pay attention & thoroughly read the rationals.

You shall not go wrong, you WILL pass the next time, we all fall short.

YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE...all the best to you!

Definitely UWorld. And yes, I think it is a bad idea to start freaking yourself out about how many SATA questions you get. I personally got about 50% SATA and passed, but also have friends who got many fewer and also passed. Don't try to guess whether or not each question is harder than the last or not either, it will drive you crazy.

I would recommend Uworld as well! My school made us get Kaplan, but I didn't like the rationale from Kaplan. Uworld rationale is so much more detailed. I used Hurst, but since you're tight on money you can go without it. It was good, but didn't really help me as much as Uworld. Since you have the Saunders book, if you come across a topic you need brushing up on while doing Uworld, that book will help. Good Luck!

it just seems like you are describing my experience..... i dont want to make my family spend money for another book or test plan. wish i had some to borrow me Uwold it is virtually the only thing i have not used.

UWorld for sure!! I failed my first attempt. I had a Kaplan class and I bought the Qbank and did all of the questions. I didn't like Kaplan's rationales, but UWorlds are completely different! It's a content review just in itself! Read all the rationales-even if you get the question right. I was exactly like you, I felt sad and defeated and like a failure. UWorld is 100% worth the $60 dollars!
