I did a Mark Klimec Course early on in my studies then studied Uworld for 1 month. I kept a binder to organize strategies and rationales.

Just wanted to give some hope out to those who are studying for the NCLEX by sharing my experiences. I was a nervous wreck when I was in the midst of my studies--scouring the forums for guidance/benchmarks of passing. I was super discouraged with my Uworld scores when comparing with others on this site. I got through 1300 questions, with 46% correct. My first assessment I scored a 64% and my second assessment I scored 57%. Yesterday I found out I passed the NCLEX with 75 questions. Just make sure you read the rationales thoroughly and process the information as you do practice problems. It just goes to show that it doesn't matter what your scores are, it matters how you retain the information you get wrong. There are a lot of negative experiences/stories of horror when reading this forums. Do not let it get to you. I just wanted to share a positive experience in hopes that whatever nursing student(s) out there that is stressing their hair out (like I was), looking through the forums gets a glimmer of hope. Do the best you can and keep pushing! You got this!!
