Nclex next week.. going to fail again.

Published

I've been doing practice questions with Saunders and listening to Feuer CDs for a little over 2 months now doing a little more each week. I'd say I average somewhere around 75 questions a day, I bumped it up to about 150 a day last week. My saunders quiz grades seem to be in the 70-80 range. So I just sat down and tried one of the practice tests I got with my Feuer CDs. I did 75 questions and only got 40 correct. Thats right just over 50%. I think Saunders is just way too easy, to the point where I could probably just look at the answers and figure out which one doesn't fit. I've already pushed my test back and am simply out of time. I have 1 week left and I'm only going to fail again and have to pay $200 again.. Is there anything I can do with only 1 week left to up my chances? Should I keep trying to do tons of questions? I don't know what my problem is, I'm very intelligent, just really bad at test taking.

yes honey there is, there is a page called NCSBN Learning Extension . NCLEX preparation . Continuing Education for Nurses . Nursing Faculty Education which is very good !!! some people say they passed because of this page, you go there you click on lpn or rn review and you do the 3 weeks practice test , it gives you lots of nclex style questions and rationale for you to study and costs $50 .... there is also another page .... Main Menu - NCLEX-RN 3500 - Institutional Version. in this page you will find 3500 questions for free for rn , its nclex style questions with rationale, if you are in lpn most questions and the same for lpn... good luck

Specializes in ASC, Infection Control.

memorize infection control mnemonics (MRS WEE, SPIDERMAN, VCHIPS) and medication suffixes. for a disease, don't worry about the whole biological process - just know what it is, common symptoms, and common complications (thats how you determine "which patient to see first"). always go by ABCs for prioritization. when you do study Q's, always read the rationale regardless of whether you get it right or wrong, and make sure you understand what the question is asking. if you don't know the answer to something, eliminate what you know the answer isn't and you should be able to get close to what the correct one is. have faith and try not to stress.

Not recommending this AT ALL - but a co-worker failed three times, and passed the fourth time badly hung over.

You can do this - you're smart. Good luck!

DO NOT give up. Don't

couldn't agree more, saunders is far easier than the questions on nclex! the questions from ncsbn are spot on nclex style, i used those and the nclex-rn 3500 and i took my exam today. i got the good popup when i check so yeah go with these two. (oh and i only just buckled down to really study this past week) good luck!
