do a review class.. like hurst.. or Kaplan... it will help get you organized and focused.. also a study partner is great. I am also studying to take the test in 3 months for the 3rd time.

Aside from prayers, I cannot think of any magic to pass Nclex. You will need a very good study plan and make sure to stick with it. You wouldn't want to waste time, effort and money if you fail this (learned it the hard way when I first failed it last 2010)
If you would opt to have self-review instead, you can try Saunders Comprehensive Review for NCLEX-RN (I'm using the latest; 5th edition), it's very good for the content review and it can also generate a 6-week study calendar for you after you take its 75-item Assessment Exam. For test-taking strategies, I would suggest Kaplan (I'm using the 2011-2012 edition). For the practice questions, I'm using LaCharity PDA (2nd edition), Nclex-3500, 4000, Exam Cram (I'm using 2nd edition), and planning to get NCSBN 3 weeks before my exam date on March 9.
You can also search for more NCLEX-RN review materials at AN forum especially dedicated to NCLEX to get more ideas.
Good luck!
