Passed at 85 questions

Published

Hi Everyone I've been lurking on these forums for quite some time now and I feel that this forum really helped and I want to give back. So let's start

resource materials:

  • Hurst
  • Kaplan
  • PDA by La Charity
  • NCLEX 4000

that's about all I used

What I think helped me pass? Questions, Questions, Questions

I did read hurst and thanks to it I understood core concepts but to me it wasn't enough. Think of it like a foundation and now that you have a foundation you need your building afterwards. That's where PDA by La Charity and Kaplan came in

my scores In La Charity will make you cry if you saw them

I got the book and I'd test myself only getting 50%-60% of the answers right

so like out of 20 i'd only get 11 or something but don't let the wrong answers and low scores discourage you. read each rationale for every question that you passed and eventually you'll get a "feel" for it. I wrote down, yes I wrote down every single rationale that I encounterted and reviewed it by the end of the day

So I basically did test questions all day wrote the rationales and organized it to either cardio, maternity, respiratory, meds etc. you get the idea. and reviewed the rationales at the end of the day. because I retain info better when I write them

I'm not a US educated nurse either I'm from the Philippines and was not even close to being an honor student in my school

I went to school bringing nothing but my phone and tablet. No paper, no pen, no book, nothing. because I was so lazy.

So if somebody like me who is far from stellar academically passes then people like you who have burned your *** off studying will definitely pass

The NCLEX is not as hard as people make it to be! it's hard I'll tell you that but not as hard as people make it seem. If you have the Qtrainers by kaplan and do PDA by La Charity you'll feel right at home answering the NCLEX

Questions, Questions, Questions I have the Saunders book but man the info was just too much and I just well i didn't read before im sure as hell not reading now. So I told myslef **** it im just gonna do test questions

you see if you do tons and tons of questions and write down the rationales you're basically reviewing content as well. hey at least it worked for me maybe that'll work for some people too

I had 1 math question and a positioning question and I knew I got both wrong

I didn't even bother calculating the math question I just typed in a random number and clicked next. So by now you can tell Im not the sharpest tool in the shed.

If you know your way around google you can find resources everywhere.

I walked out of the testing center dazed. Thinking *** just happened in there? Where the hell did those questions come from. I put on the earplugs that they provided you with and all I could hear was my heart beating so loud it was like a disco in there!

If a C something student like me who is not even a US educated nursing student can pass the NCLEX the 1st time in 85 questions

You definitely can. I forgot to mention my hurst scores ow boy they were sh*t

you could only take the test 6 times here were my hurst scores

70=55%

69=55%

74=59%

72=57%

75=60%

81=64%

and well according to hurst the average scores of people who passed the nclex taking their program was 86 points or 68%

I was nowhere near that pecentage but I passed

Just remember. You cannot and will not ever even in your entire lifetime know everything about nursing

and the NCLEX is not as hard as people make it seem to be

you got this. I know 90% of you reading this have way better scores than me so if I can do it. So can you

It's an old program so it's highly likely the links were disabled by the publisher as it's no longer available for purchase
