Passed NCLEX w over 100 q’s (2020)

Published

I wanted to write this to help others out. There are 4 things I used to successfully pass NCLEX. 
 

1. Review Course - (used REMAR and Excell)

2. Mark K Audio 

3. Question bank - I also used REMAR and Lacharity Delegation question banks. 

4. Trust in yourself. 

No matter if you have failed or this is your first time, you can do this. The power of positivity and prayer goes a long way. Do not compare yourself to anyone else. Put in the work (1-2 months), stay focused and stay determined. Put in the work before your test, and I promise that your dreams are destined to become a reality. Don’t let anyone stop you from accomplishing your goals and dreams, you can and you will stand tall through this exam. Good Luck to all and message me if you have any questions.

I know you mean well, but it is not wise to delay taking NCLEX after graduation. The point is to put in the work during school, not after ...and then you can take the test right after graduation and move into a job you want. When choosing a college, investigate what support is there for NCLEX but do not choose one that has a whole course, at the conclusion of the sequence of nursing courses to get you ready for NCLEX. You should be getting ready for your licensing exam while learning your discipline's content. This eliminates the philosophy of you "only need to know this for NCLEX."

BTW NCLEX questions are developed by looking at what the new graduate needs to know and are updated every 3 years in the test blueprint. An important activity for a nursing student is to print out the blueprint and keep track of what is covered as it is covered. At graduation, one need only look at what was not covered -- in a good school that should be virtually nothing.

I waited three months between graduation and NCLEX. Nursing school includes a massive amount of learning. There’s no reason one shouldn’t take time to brush up on things they don’t feel strong on before taking the exam. Even strong programs have their weakest links. 
 

Additionally, with the pace that many BONs are (not) moving at lately, it can be that long before  an ATT is even issued and graduates can schedule the exam. 

@G3AG, thank you for sharing your experience and tips.

Back in 2010, it took the BON right under two months to process my application and release my ATT. I scheduled my exam as soon as I received that authorization. Graduated in April, fought with the BON in pretty-much all of May, and tested in June.

Congratulations! When using the Mark K videos did you take notes or use the worksheets? Or just simply listened to the audios?

Apply for the exam as soon as possible after graduation. Sometimes it does take the SON and BON time to get the processing done. After you have the ATT, schedule the exam ASAP.
