Passed my nclex-pn boards after second try!

I finally passed my nclex pn boards on the second try 2011, and it was hard but I remained focused. First of all I graduated in 2009, and took my boards for the first time in 2010, I know I waited to long. My reason being is I had a complicated pregnancy. But anyhow my first attempt I studied using saunders 2010 edition and that didnt work for me because I failed. So then I decided to give kaplan a try, along with using saunders review CD at application level only. I studied for three weeks and passed at 85 questions yahhhh, so excited. Kaplan questions and review book really was the key to my success on the exam, along with prayer. Kaplan Qbank questions are harder, difficult questions this is why I really believe I passed. The key is to do as many questions possible and reviewing the rationales and you will succeed, plus having faith in the lord. GOOD LUCK TO ALL MY PN STUDENTS:up:

Congratulations Paris....that is awesome!!!

I am using the Kplan qbank to study. Since you have already taken boards,

can u tell me if u think the Kaplan questions are pretty similar to NCLEX ..are they

harder? I did my kaplan assessment and got 73% ? What do you get on yours??

I am also using Exam Cram CD...and I have about 10 more days to study before

test day, so any thoughts you could share would be awesome!!!

thanks,

There questions are not similar to nclex no questions are, but I can say there questions are harder than nclex. So if you are getting a 60% or higher using kaplan exam mode then you are ready to take the test. Kaplan is the best advice I can give you, you will succeed:lol2: the exam cram book is good also for knowledge based questions I can add. Also do not use the tutor mode that is false reassurance, that mode will not help, always use exam mode, and most importantly look at all your rationales. Try to do at least 100 questions daily. I did 200, by doing 100 in the morning and 100 at night. Passed after only three weeks at 85 questions. You will be fine as long as you do as many nclex style questions as you possibly can. GOOD LUCK, AND PRAY GOD IS GREAT:heartbeat I got a 70 on my assessment to you are on the right track, but on some of my practice test they ranged from 58% to 80% and I still passed. Again good luck to you
