NCLEX RN second try

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hello everybody. I came to this website looking for advises !!! I'm taking the NCLEX RN In 10 days. I failed the first time after 265 questions. This is a nightmare!! I cried a river!! My brother got married, I moved to a new house, many things happened after that sad experience.I used Kaplan, Hurst and some chapters of PDA the first time. I was scoring 50's-60 in Kaplan. This time I used the NCSBN 3 weeks, but I used only the the Bank questions at the end, I found the questions similar to the NCLEX ones, I scored on them 50%, most of them 60-80%, like 3 90% and one 100% (I almost cried lol). After that I did the Kaplan Readiness test (first time taking it) and I got 65.7%. I did the Questions Trainer 4 and I got 70.7%, I'm planning to do 5,6 & 7 before Wednesday, so I can have 4-5 days to read my notes (4 notebooks and the 35 pages study guide)

Please let me know if you think I have better chances this time. And if you have any special tip before the exam. Thank you, I will appreciate it! My nerves are KILLING ME!! 😩😩

Specializes in tele, med/surg, step down.

Congratulations. We must have re-tested on the same day! I found out I passed after my second NCLEX attempt yesterday. I failed with 265 the first time. Did the Hurst review and I think that's what helped me the most.

Thank you everybody!!

I took the exam last Tuesday April 21. I ran out of time in question #233. I failed the first time with 265 questions too! I believe that I failed the first because I rushed in the last 35-40 questions l, but this time I took my time to read every question, and I passed!!!! Thanks God!!

Don't rush people!! Quality is better than Quantity!!! I used many resources: Saunders, Kaplan, Hurst, NCSBN, PDA & Lippicott's
