My journey to passing the NCLEX has been a long, hard road. I graduated from my BSN program in May 2018. I studied hard during the summer and had to delay taking my test due to an unforeseen move. I used Kaplan to study because my program offered us the class. So I took my first attempt in August 2018. Got all 265 questions, had an anxiety attack in the middle of the test and failed. I was devastated, heartbroken and embarrassed. So I studied hard again, used Kaplan and took my second attempt in October 2018. I got all 265 questions, freaked out, had another anxiety attack and once again failed. Heartbroken and desperate I retook the Kaplan online course, I took the Hurst online review and I was also using NRSNG. I decided to take my test after the holidays and ended up taking it for the third time in January. This time I thought I felt confident but once again, I got all 265 questions, had an anxiety attack and failed. For the 3rd time. Each of the three attempts my practice test scores were all over the place, I would do really well one day, and not well the other. After the third attempt I felt so lost and completely heartbroken. I knew I needed to do something, so I posted on here a cry for help. A person named Damion Jenkins commented on my post and told me to check out his website, he was a tutor for the NCLEX and multiple other areas. After reading his blog and some testimonials on his website and Facebook (he has a 100% pass rate for those who have studied with him) I decided to go for it. BEST DECISION EVER. He is an amazing tutor, not only did he help me develop some strategies to reading and understanding NCLEX style questions, he also helped build my confidence. On my fourth time studying I primarily used UWorld and Saunders NCLEX RN book for questions. My scores were the highest they have ever been. Damion has a great sense of humor and he helped me break down the questions in ways that were easy for me to understand. I went into the test feeling ready and prepared. I did end up getting all 265 questions but this time I STAYED CALM. I didn't freak out and have a panic attack in the middle of the test. I fought my way through and finished strong. Damion gave me super helpful tips on staying calm and working through my anxiety rather than let it run wild during the most important test of my career. I thought I had failed to be honest, but I got my Quick Results and I passed! I was so shocked I even tried the Pearson Vue trick. I PASSED. I owe my success to Damion and all his help he has given me. If you have failed once or multiple times, I suggest giving Damion and chance, by the least look at his website and read his testimonials. You won't regret it. http://thenursespeak.com
