I have failed nclex 3 times and passed on my fourth time.
I tried everything including Kaplan, Hurst, NCSBN, NCLEX 4000...You name it, I did it. None of those worked for me.
The one thing that helped me pass this time was I hired a tutor via Skype.
She basically gives you 120 questions through out the 10 hours. So she goes through about 12 questions every hour. I did 4days/week for the 2weeks RIGHT before my test.
She taught me how to answer questions. What to look for in a question and answer. AND how NCLEX wants you to answer. FOLLOW HER CONCEPTS!! YOU WILL PASS!
Alot of her questions were like the NCLEX! She can tutor you from anywhere in the world via Skype!
I also went over the 35 page review from allnurses the one that has "MY CHICKEN HEZ TB" and "SPIDERMAN" infection control.
And another thing that has helped me was the 97 page review on youtube.
It cost $50...Alot of topics on my NCLEX was on the 97 page review.
I had 265 questions.. alot were priority, infection control, SATA, EKGS, Meds, and Psych.
I took breaks and I was very calm through out the test. I took 3 breaks during my last 20 questions. I took my time reading the question BEFORE looking at the answers. Once I picked an answer I did not change my mind.
