Passed NCLEX-RN 265 questions (2015)

Published

Hello everyone!

I have read a lot of helpful threads in this website in preparation for my Nclex-rn examination last December 12, 2015 and now I want to share my experience answering 265 questions and PASSED.

I answered 265 questions for 5 hours. It was hard and some questions were tricky. However, I didn't let my anxiety consume me. I answered each question carefully.

After the exam was over I was totally sure that I failed because the last question felt like it was really easy. Some questions were also repeating the same topic. Immediately after the exam I read almost all of the thread I can find and it gave me hope somehow.

I got around 10-SATA, 1-calculation, 15-meds, and LOTS of prioritization and delegation questions.

Review materials:

>Saunders comprehensive review book 5th edition (its like 2011 edition, i didn't buy the latest one because i don't want to spend lots)

>Kaplan question bank good for one month ($50)

>Question trainers 2,3,4,5 (i found them online)-took all of them a week before my exam. It was really useful!

>Make sure to review Lab values and MEDS! I re-memorized most of them 2 weeks before my exam

I reviewed for 2 months, 5-6 hours per day. Saunders book is really good for content review and kaplan question bank and question trainers are SUPER helpful to increase your confidence in test taking. Schedule your study plan in a piece of paper and stick to your plan. During the 1st month, I did a lot of content review ( I was really weak with the content). And on the 2nd month I answered 50-100 questions every morning and reviewed the questions in the afternoon (especially the wrong ones). My scores weren't that high, it's probably between 55%-68%. And if you're tired of reading, you can always watch or listen to youtube videos regarding any topic (e.g. cardiac cycle etc)

If I can do it and so can you :)) Always give your best in everything you do and it'll be worth all the sacrifices you've made.

Definitely the best Christmas gift! Goodluck guys! :))

Hey everyone. I'm new to the forum but I have been reading threads for a while. Anyway I took mine for the 2nd time on the 15, got 265 and terrified of finding out the results. I'm scared and know that I did not pass. Refuse to do PVT. I did it after my first attempt, was In a depressed funk for a while. Just sharing with everyone. I'm really terrified. ������

I totally understand you. I had like 20 minutes to spare but I was just done. I really thought about each question as carefully as possible.
