I took NCLEX-RN twice. The first time I got 265 questions. I studied just Hurst (Live review) and did all the practice questions on the website (5 tests). I FREAKED out when my computer got to about 150. BIGGEST MISTAKE!!! Do not let it get to you!. 2 other people in my class got 265 and they passed because they kept their cool. I on the other hand, have anxiety issues and it wasn't good. The second time I read through my Hurst book one more time (which is only content). I bought the 2010-2011 Kaplan review book for $35, the Lacharity book ($25), and i studied the isolation precautions sweetmya that has been passed around on here and i felt COMPLETELY confident walking into that test center EXACTLY 46 days later. I passed with about 90 questions!! And with 90% of my answers I felt completely confident. I highly recommend Lacharity and Kaplan! They helped SOOO much!!! Good Luck everyone!!! :)

P.S.- If you have anxiety problems I HIGHLY recommend hiding the number counter in the upper left hand corner of the screen. I hid it at 78 and thats the best thing i could have ever done!
****Oh, and it is completely untrue that they give you the topic you did bad on the 1st time. I had pretty much NO questions about the topics i had trouble with last time.
