Suggestions for Passing NCLEX-RN

Sounds like Saunders isn't for you. Try one of the many other resources (Kaplan, UWorld, NCBSN, Hurst, etc.) and see how you do.

Why u can't focus? Check what's distracting u..

Best thing is to relax while taking the test. Breathe! I used Kaplan qbanks

You should have received two copies of your Candidate Performance Report, one for each time you missed the passing mark. Those reports will tell you specifically which areas you are below or near the passing standard. I would recommend you focus initially on areas where you consistently score below the passing standard then move on to areas where you consistently score near the passing standard.

I agree with Kuriin that it sounds as if Saunders isn't working for you, and it's time to use alternative review material/s. I would suggest focusing more on practice questions over trying to re-learn everything that you learned in nursing school. You don't have to know everything to pass the NCLEX; you just have to know the important things. A good program will point you towards concepts that are more important to know over concepts that are less important to know, focusing your study. Additionally, a good program will have questions that are about as difficult as the NCLEX, which will make you feel accustomed to the challenge and help you remain composed throughout the test.

I passed the NCLEX in 75Q in under an hour, and I primarily relied on UWorld, supplementing my study with LaCharity's Prioritization, Delegation and Assignment. I highly recommend UWorld. The questions are challenging and the rationales are concise and comprehensive. It's a good compromise between content review and practice test-taking.

hey guys i wanna share my nclex story with u all. I am planning to take the Rn Nclex exam around May or June 2016 for the 3rd time. I really need ur suggestions for passing the exam. I did nursing from India in 2013 and i find this test quit challenging. Okay so the first time i took this exam was in july 2014 and I did NOT pass the exam... maybe because i was overconfident or wasn't serious enough. I read Saunders and did alot of practice questions But somewhere I knew my theory was weak due to my carelessness and was not focused. i was quite depressed and was giving up on it already. I didn't wanna study right away so i took a reallllllly long break which wasn't good. I should've taken a short break and started studying again.

But i didn't till November 2014 and Took the Nclex for the 2nd time in Feb 2015. And I didn't PASS the test. I read Saunders Again ( read it better than before) took the HURST review course online , and did a lot of practice questions online eg; Saunders cd questions, lipponcott questions, and free online questions. I truly give up . I didn't wanna think about the test at all . I haven't touched the nclex book for a year ...I know its a pretty long break which is NOT good But I started to give up on it .

My family started to encourage me again to take the test. So i decided to take it in summer around May or June 2016. I started reading Saunders briefly from last month ( January) I am trying to stay FOCUS because I get distracted very easily! How I planned my schedule so far... I get up at 5 am study for 3 hrs then take a break for 10 to 20 mins start studying again ...so pretty much 9 hrs total broken down to 3. And i am really focusing on my content which is my weakest point. I have hard time focusing specially when it comes to reading books!!! Those of you who have taken the NCLEX RN exam plz leave ur suggestions...i would really appreciate the help :)))
