Finished BSN school in 2012. Since then managed to take the NCLEX 3 times with no success. In winter I was told about the EXCELL review class and quickly signed up for it. The class was tough (8 consecutive days) but it gets you in the right mindset for the nclex.

I really didn't think it was a matter of knowledge that I was failing the test. In my opinion it was the strategy that I was lacking. Last time I took it 2 weeks ago I got all 265 questions but I passed. I think the most important part to remember is not to GIVE UP! And also, be confident in yourself. Last time I went I knew I was going to pass. and I did.

I have tried KAPLAN, NCSBN, HURST, SAUNDERS, and private tutors with no luck. This EXCELL class was awesome with providing UP TO DATE information and the minor changes that were done in the 2013 nclex version.

I also would like to thank this website and the contributors for pointers.

I am now proud to say I am M. RN, BSN, PHN!
