To me it seemed worse than Kaplan. There were some that were like Saunders but majority were hard. If I have to retake it than I will have to! I just dont want to go through that again, it was terrible!

Dont say that...You will pass...Im pretty sure you were really prepared...If they were hard, then you aimed for the difficult ones, which is what you want to get...Hopefully, before you know, you will be posting you passed...

Stay calm...I passed w/265 and know of several others who did as well.

I felt just like you did...questions were way harder than Kaplan and I couldn't use the decision tree very much. I kept hearing and reading that Kaplan/NCLEX were really similar so I thought I'd have a great edge. I cried before, during and after the test because I was blown away by the difficulty. In the end...I passed so keep your chin up. Also, literally everyone I know that has taken the NCLEX walks out of it feeling like they failed, you are definitely not alone :)

oh, now Im scared...Im taking my NCLEX next week and everyone told me not to worry since "NCLEX is easier thank Kaplan..." I cant figure out that decision tree, I cant answer qbank questions with it... still, Im hopeful....

Don't be scared...some people think it's the "same"/easier and some people think it's harder..it's probably just a matter of perception. There will be, however, things that you don't know...and that's ok...and that's where strategy comes in. Kaplan strategies are excellent and they will help you tremendously. Their review questions are the best I've ever used and they come quite close..but I wouldn't say they are the "same." That said, it's the closest you will come and I think they're the best review out there. Just keep doing questions and you will do great..stay positive! Mind over matter!!!

thanks PEDSRN2008....it is mind over matter...!!!

Thanks for the encouragement:loveya:

I took the exam on June 23rd 2008 for the 5th time. I studied everyday for atleast 12 hours a day for 1 month. The previous times I had 75, 150, 222 and 75 and lastly 265. I was there for the entire 6 hours. I just found out I passed. It was the best feeling in the world. I almost gave up the last time but my family pushed me to try again and I am soo grateful for their support and encouragement. I cannot explain how I feel right now I am speechless. All I can say is never ever give up you have worked so hard and you cannot give up on all that you have done. I know how you feel and I wish everyone success!! This website has helped me tremendously with all of your support and I thank you. Best of luck!!!!!!
