Passed Nclex-RN in 75 Questions!!

Published

Hello everyone!

I would like to share my story on how I passed Nclex-RN in 75 questions!

I scheduled my test for two months after I got my ATT> so, I got my ATT mid-Feb and scheduled test for mid-April. This is because I am currently still enrolled in a bachelor's program and knew I would not have time to dedicate solely to studying. I would spread it out in between my course work.

How I studied:

- KAPLAN (paid $500 through my Nursing school's program)

- Saunders (got login info from my nursing school classmate)

- NCLEX Mastery APP (Best $30 I have ever spent on an APP EVER!)

- Delgation practice book

I started with content review with the Kaplan book and then started doing 75-100 questions/day using the Kaplan Q-bank the month prior to my test. I dedicated a good month to studying, especially the two weeks leading upto my exam.

- KAPLAN will prepare you for answering the questions on the NCLEX.

-PRACTICE makes PERFECT.

-Believe in your answers, DON'T CHANGE THEM! This is what I did so many times and would regret it.

-Do the practice questions on the Nclex Mastery App.... they helped me alot! Especially the boat load of SATA's.

***DAY BEFORE TEST, I did the last QT on Kaplan and scored 59%***

Couldn't sleep the night before and got only about two hours of sleep. I woke up with such anxiety, stress and panic and thought I would FOR SURE fail the exam.

**Somehow I got 50 SATA's, a few Put in Order questions, exhibit questions and the rest Multiple choice..

** THE MORE SATA QUESTIONS YOU SEE, THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE ABOVE THE PASSING LINE!!!! I thought I failed when the computer stopped at 75 and cried my eyes out driving back home at 0930... I took my test on a Friday and was constantly checking the BRN website for my name throughout the weekend... I checked again Monday and nothing! I did not do the pop up trick because I heard it does not work and it will eat your money either way if you pass or fail. SO i waited patiently until Tuesday morning and I was officially REGISTERED NURSE!!!!!****

Now I am anxiously applying for jobs in hopes of getting hired somewhere, ANYWHERE!

Please pray for me.. I really want to get a job and start my career!

If you get alot of SATA questions, stopped at 75, and cry, then you definitely PASSED the TEST! WOOO!

It's an urban legend that the more SATA you receive the more likely you are to pass. There are higher cognitive level SATA and lower cognitive level SATA just like every other type of question including multiple choice.

Congratulations on passing the NCLEX

I am SO happy you passed RN!

But I do debunk the myth of having so many SATA that you will pass. I only got 5-6 SATA and passed with 75 questions. Maybe I was lucky but just wanted to put it out there for those who are testing in the future and think they need many SATA to pass [:

Happy job hunting RN! Go save peoples lives!
