PASSED ON 2nd ATTEMPT WITH 75 CLICKS

Published

First off, Praise The Lord!

Yeah! I passed! :D The first time I took the nclex I went up to 234 questions before it shut off. I sat there for 4.5 hours and refused to take a break because I was worried about wasting time. I didn't prepare much and only did 2 or 3 Kaplan question trainers and maybe 300 q bank questions. I only did about 800 nclex style questions max.

This second attempt I did 6 Kaplan question trainers, 90% of the q bank, la charity, saunders questions, nclex 4000, all nurses study guide, hurst review videos handouts and 6 hurst tests. All in all I did over 8,000 nclex style questions. I'm not even kidding :sour:

I passed the nclex yesterday with 75 questions in 2 hours. The breakdown of my test is listed below

21 sata

2 exhibits

4 ekg's

48 multiple choice

:wacky:

Remain calm during your test, it helped me. You passed nursing school so you're obviously got the brains. Focus on safety and not being that killer nurse!

Honestly Hurst Review helped me a lot on solidifying my core content and explained it in such a way that you'll remember the info on your test. I worked 50+ Hours a week during nursing school so hurst helped me polish things up. Hurst gives great advice to relax on the nclex too.

my hurst scores are listed below

test 1- 86/125

test 2- 79/125

test 3- 72/125

test 4-72/125

test 5-82/125

test 6- didn't start it

Kaplan is well known for their decision tree but I really never applied it while taking the exam. However, the live review was amazing! My instructor gave us tips that really kicked in during the test. I was truly blessed to have taken her class.

my Kaplan scores are listed below

diagnostic - 68%

qt 1 - 68%

Qt 2 - 61%

Qt3 - 55%

readiness 58%

Qt 4- 65%

Qt 5- 65%

Qt 6 - 61%

Qt 7 - didn't start it

q bank completed 90% of questions with a score of 57%

I'm glad it's finally over and I can't tell you the relieve I feel. Have faith, put in the study time and conquer this Nclex because you can :geek:

Congrats! I am currently using Hurst. Was that the only study material you used to review the content? Or would you suggest I use another resource such as Saunders for the content?

Hey Su Jas,

You should be good your scores are improving. I would suggest La Charity as well. Good Luck!

Thanks for congratulating me guys .... It's a great feeling to have this monkey off of my back

Yay!!! You made it! Congrats RN!!! :laugh:

Do you think Hurst was worth it? Did you do the online? I just failed for my 2nd time. 265 questions both times. CPR said near passing in all areas on the first exam. I don't know what to do. I took a live review course that everyone in the area recommends for my first exam. For my second exam I did questions from the RN Mastery App on my phone, Exam Cram, Saunders and I had tutoring sessions... Ugh!! I'm not sure how to attack this again. I want the third time to be my last. I'm looking at Hurst.
