I always wanted to write my experience abt NCLEX.. the first thing that worked for me in the first place was GOD.. He dint let me fall... and graced me.. i prayed the most during my study days, during the exam before answering each question, after hitting the next button as well as in each 0f my breaks.. First time i failed miserably at 75 and this time i passed at 75.. HE is definetly a merciful God... SECOND Kaplan really helped.. and during my preparation time i went to the public library and signed up for the reading room.. spent 8 to 9 hts there and ignored all house chores.. thanx to my supportive n loving hubby.. did everything as kaplan wanted me to do and also the hurst videos helped. Used La CharityTOO. stuied for almost 1 and a half month. chose a different center this time...[was really a far one] and repeated to myself.. THIS IS A GOOD DAY TO PASS.. i did all the Qbanks Qtrainers Readiness and diagnostic tests.. dint do the alternate format ones..went through most of the videos. made notes for everything and solved as many questions i could
