Good Afternoon ----
I need some contructive opinions ---I have taken my NCLEX 2 times in the last two years and failed. I have been verbally offered a position as an RN if I pass my boards in the next 3 months. I have taken Kaplan x 2, Hurst X 2 ,REMAR review, and had a private tutor !
I found an online tutoring service with a guaranteed pass rate of 98% -at $1850 for 8 weeks
the question is should I try to scrape up the money or try to study again on my own ?

That is a lot of money! I think you should look into other options. NRSNG.com has a wonderful program with a lot of good content review videos. It was less than $50 a month. Taking my own notes while watching the videos really helped me. Good luck!!!
Re Mar review was very good for content review. However I believe there is a second component needed; how the critically think your way through way the question to what it is really asking --its a combination of the two.
I need a review that does both.
I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to give your opinion
I have decided to try Happy Nclex and Uworld
THANKS AGAIN
Your going to like UWorld

I'm jumping WAAAAAAAAAAY ahead of myself, because I'm only a pre-nursing student (hope to get onto the program this fall). However, in my eager researching, I came across this and thought it looked pretty good! Also, it's free, which is a major bonus! It appears to cover all the different areas too.

What does this guarantee exactly mean? I can't imagine any reputable company giving you a 98% chance of passing on your third attempt when the statistics are nowhere near that good. And what does 98% mean to you exactly, are they going to refund all your money if you don't pass, or are they going to say Oops, guess you were the 2% we can't get to pass but we tried so we keep the money?
Be very wary of that game, and good luck to you.
