Hello everyone. I'm just here to share my story about the resources I used for the NCLEX. I graduated July 27, 2019. I received my ATT 4 days later on July 30. (I did my application payment and Pearson vue payment 4 weeks before school ended). I started studying the week after I graduated. I started using Lippincott. I really liked it. After that I used Kaplan. I hated the rationales. I did few Saunders questions. Lastly, I used Uworld. Uworld was a life savor. Once I got Uworld, I stopped using the other resources. Uworld really and truly prepared me for the NCLEX.
The day I went to take my test I came in confident. My classmates described the NCLEX as being terribly hard. I didn't let that get to me. By the time I finished my test, my thought was "Is this it?" To me it was not what my classmates described. To me it was fairly easy. I owe it all to Uworld. I constantly did questions and reviewed the rationales (didn't care if I got them right or wrong. I wanted to understand the rationales and why a questions was right or wrong). I'm a visual learner and Uworld has pictures, charts, and the best rationales. Very similar to the NCLEX. I start the LPN-RN next Fall and when I finish, I will only use Uworld to study.
I hope my experience helps someone.

Congratulations!!!! I didn't use any outside prep when I took nclex but i'm not knocking those who do, so whatever works, Go for it!
Thankfully I got mines free. My school provided most of it and with Uworld I used my classmate account. Win Win situation. Thanks...

If it has been that long, I would give them a call or send a email. Try looking up your name and see if you license is posted as well.

Hey everyone I failed my nclex pn exam. The pearson trick does not work I got a good pop up and failed. The computer stopped at 85 questions. I did poorly, I used uworld. Any have some advice on study tools?
I failed my nclex poorly for the first time. I am looking into working as a PVN in a medical care facility because right now I have a private duty case with a Michigan celebrity.. I’m not using my practical vocational nursing skills . Any job leads? I need advice please

Thank you. Uworld is nclex style practice questions with great rationales. You would have to purchase it in order to get the questions. It's very helpful. They have 30 free questions. Check it out at https://uworld.com/
