Hi Everyone,
First Thanks everyone for all helps during my exam preparation. I would like to share my experience with you. I am an international student.I finished my nursing from India. SO I have to study very hard for becoming RN. I spent my one year in preparation of this exam.
First time I appeared for NCLEX RN exam on August,2013. I had only 75 questions. And I failed. After I used little bit of kaplan and went through Saunders rarely. Again took date in November 2013. I had again 75 questions and i failed. I was really nervous with my result.After I changed the way of preparing for the exam.
I started reading Saunders thoroughly and started doing questions from Mosbey question book, Mosbey content (red cover)questions book and Lippincott questions & Answers book. I was getting around 65 to 68% in those books. After doing questions i felt myself very confident.
I also focused thoroughly on SATA questions.I did these books for SATA:
1. Ohman David's
2. Lippincott for alternate items format book.
For Priority and Delegation questions I did Linda La charity Book. This is very useful book in the exam. I got several same type of questions in my real NCLEX. Don't go for Nclex without doing this book.After sharpened my skill in content and questions, I purchased Kaplan and NCSBN online material.
Kaplan Q bank average score is 63%
Q Trainers average score is 66%
Readiness Test score is 65%
Kaplan questions are very helpful in the real exam.So try to finish all qbank questions and all q trainers. If you get time then listen LOD Class questions videos for strategies.
After using Kaplan material I purchased 21 days material of NCSBN. I did mostly all questions and was getting around 60%.But don't be nervous if you get law score in some of the test.The key point to success is keep practicing and pray to god.
After doing this all i appeared for the test on May 2014. I got only 75 questions and I PASSED:))))
The key point to success is keep practicing and pray to god.
I did it so you can do it ,too!!!GOOD LUCK!!

Congrats!! Did you try the Pearson Vue trick the first two attempts? I'm curious because I took 75 questions today and received the "good pop up" but I still feel sick over it!... Or did you just wait for official results?
I tried it too. It worked too. So don't worry. You passed. Congrats??
