Me2006, I have been studying to take my nclex again. This next time will be my third time. I did Kaplan the first and was near passing in all categories then this last time did ati and was near passing in all except physiological adaptations and health promotion. If you have any suggestions for me they would be much appreciated. This time around I am starting to do Kaplan again and really focus on that, please help!!

Hello Rocky19:

Im sorry to hear that you had to take it twice already, but its ok! Third time is your time! Dont be discouraged!

Do you think that you are weak in your content base? I know that seems to be the reason why many students fail, they dont have their content down well! I prepared wiht Kaplan and they dont really teach content, its more test taking strategies and they have a good test bank. I dont recommend you redoing Kaplan if it didnt work for you before. Read over the content and maybe thats where your weakness is.

The first time I felt like in was weak in content and so the second time I did ati and that was strictly content and ended up doing worse. I didn't use Kaplan strategy then second time around and I thought that was my biggest problem.

Kiwi 82: I had tons of SATA, no med calculations but med questions. One cranial nerve question...few psych. It seemed general.

So hard to sit and wait!!

BTW im in california and they dont do the 48hrs quick response!

I hope you passed I'm sure you did. Everyone seems to be getting SATA. I hope I pass. I'm kinda freaking out. And I don't even have my ATT yet.

Hey all, so OMG I took the BEAST! my appt was at 2p but I got there an hour early.. they let me sit at 1 something, like 45mins early.. but anyway, it CUT OFF at 75 questions, it took me about 2 hours to get there.. afterwards was a little survey.. im so nervous, I dont know what to think.. I didnt get any dosage cal, probably about 15 SATA, 10 meds, 1 order the list question and the rest were regular ABCD questions.. Im too nervous to do the trick, if the make a payment pop up comes im going to faint.. where im from theres a 45day wait.. if I failed i'll be so depressed, omg the thought of that makes me sad.. I really hope I passed.. I feel like i dont think I was doing THAT WELL that it cut off at 75, there were only 5 or 6 questions I was 100% certain with, the rest were educated guesses..so im thinking I failed considerig it cut off at 75 if you're doing so well or just suck.. if I decide to do the trick I'll let you all know..

Hey! I feel deep down inside that you passed. What did you use to study?

Kiwi82, BSN, RN · Feb 16, 2012

Wouln't it give you more questions if you didn't get all 75 right? I'm sure you passed :)

What meds came up ?

So I got the courage to do the trick and it came back that I passed "our records indicate.. contact board of nursing.." Considering someone on this blog got the bad message annd it turned out that they actually passed Idk how to feel.. I hope this thing is accurate.. Does anyone know if theres a time limit you have to wait to do the trick? Is it immediate or a day or what? I did the trick about 2 hours after finishing the exam
