Is there anyone here can help me? I need suggestions, strategies, or whatever to pass the nuclex- RN exam! I have taken it for five times and I still did not pass. I don't know what to do anymore and I don't know what to review. I studied, NCSBN, Mark klimek, Uworld, and I went to excell review class but that still did not help me to pass. I am so frustrated and I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I'm a failure because I keep failing the nclex exam. I'm having a hard time answering SATA's. Should I memorize the SATA's? I took my last test this August 30 2017. I studied everyday even Saturday and Sunday 6-8 hours.This last test I just studied Uworld and finished all the Qbank and the two assessments. My average performance was 69%. I read all the rationales but I still did not pass. I got 227 questions and my computer shot down. I thought I pass but I did not. Please list any suggestions to help me review. Anything I will do to pass and I will not give up because God is always there to help me. However, I will need anyone suggestions on what material or review classes I need to do for me to help and pass this NCLEX-RN exam.

I agree 100% with the poster who said "you are probably over-thinking!" You must be feeling very discouraged, but you will get there. Here is some advice.....

1) purchase Kaplan's online RN Qbank (not the prep, just the QBank), It used to be for 3 months

2) run through some practice questions for an hour every day

3) pick a day to take the exam (Saturday is ideal) and choose the earliest appointment

4) do not study the night before the exam - AT ALL

5) while taking the exam --- choose the simplest answers

6) when answering unknown med questions ---- choose the answer that is COMPLETELY different from the rest (even if the answer sounds silly)

7) don't change your answers (unless you, absolutely 100%, find the correct answer in another question). If not, always go with your instinctive answer

Best of Luck!!

Hi

Kaplan nclex Q bank . How important it is ? I purchase it and did the questions . Questions similar to nclex ?

Do not listen to anyone that judges you for how many times you take it!! Everything happens for a reason. You will pass just keep trying even if its 20 times. You did not GRADUATE NURSING SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU DID NOT KNOW YOUR INFORMATION. This exam is crap. Money making system. Best of luck to you xoxo

Kaplan Qbank worked great for me, also for a number of my friends. I saw a lot of the same questions on NCLEX as well.

I strongly suggest using ATI. I believe they will even provide you with a one on one tutor at a certain point. My school used ATI and I believe every student from my cohort passed on the first attempt at the NCLEX.

Have you tried hurst? If your not good at sata , dont memorize it you have to know ur core content. Get the saunders book. For example today ur gonna do cardiac, then read saunders book bout cardiac too and pharma. Dont be in a hurry take ur time. Then after u finish core content do la charity book. After that do u world again. Dont give up with u world. My friend avail 3x in u world. And she passed. I avail u world 2x before i took the test and i passed. Read and understand it again. U world helped me with my prioritation big time. I only got 6 sata in my nclex . And give time to pray, everyday i go to church. I prayed for my weaknesses and during my actual test i know God was helping me. I got only 6 sata and 2 pharma and those are my weaknesses and God help me passed my test. Nothing is impossible. Keep praying and study hard. God will help you.

I think if you can't pass the NCLEX after 3 tries you need to reconsider if nursing is for you. Remember, the NCLEX is the minimum competency exam to become a nurse. Taking the NCLEX 20 times doesn't prove that you will be a safe nurse. Remember, you will have people's lives in your hands.

Also keep in mind that there might me a limit on the number of attempts or years, depending on your state.

Just because people pass nursing school, doesn't mean they can pass the NCLEX. If they can't pass after 3 attempts maybe that's saying something. Would you really let a nurse who can't pass the NCLEX after 4+ attempts practice on you or your loved ones?

Hello!

It seems you did everything to pass the test.I think it means you afraid plus don't understand how to answer these questions.First you should realise that you can't know everything.It is just imposdible.And second, if I was you I d find a person who can show where my problem is.Is there such a thing as NCLEX tutor? I used Sanders and U world.But I only study things I didn't know. I watched a lot of youtube videos the morning before the testbut I watched Game of Thrones the day before.You have to decompress the brain.

Afraid of what? If the OP had test anxiety (true test anxiety) that should've been taken care of during the pre-reqs. Because it wouldn't matter if the OP was taking tests during the pre-req stage, nursing school or the NCLEX.
