Congrats to you as well!! It was the other way around for me. I used Kaplan the 1st time and it didn't help me as much.

I didn't review all the rationales that I hoped I would but I passed anyways :)

I took the NCLEX on Monday August 13th and did all 265 questions. That's right, ALL 265 QUESTIONS IN 5 HRS. 59 MIN!! I had 67 select all that apply questions ( kept track with how much I got), 3 med calc questions, 2 ekgs, 5 drag and drops, and I believe the rest were multiple choice questions with pictures, exhibits, etc. Found out yesterday on August 14th that I PASSEDDDDD! I am overfilled with joy because this was my 3rd time taking it and I was stressed and frustrated for a long time and even considered choosing another career. I used UWORLD, the Lacharity Book, and a 35 page study guide floating somewhere around here on allnurses.com but if you need it let me know! I feel like that is all you need to pass. I recommend UWORLD 100% and the Lacharity "Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment" book. I did all 2100 questions along with the 2 self assessment tests on UWORLD but I only reviewed about a little over 1000 questions and read each of those rationales well. For Lacharity, I did all 21 chapters which was a total of 574 questions and reviewed each question whether right or wrong on that too. Scores: UWORLD: my score was a 50% after completing all the questions. The tests I took ranged from 34%-65% The 1st self assessment test said I had a high chance of passing and the 2nd self assessment said I had a very high chance of passing. LaCharity: I had an overall average score of 59% after completing all 21 chapters. Moral of the story: don't look at your scores!! Every time I looked at mine I felt very discouraged. It's more about understanding each question and getting better at critical thinking. I believe if you've passed nursing school YOU CAN pass the NCLEX. Don't ever give up and keep going for it. Goodluck to all future NCLEX test takers out there!!

I'm scheduled to take my NCLEX-RN exam on August 13th for the 3rd time and am totally freaking out!! The only things I am using to study are UWorld and the Lacharity "prioritization, delegation, and assignment" book. I finished all 21 chapters in the Lacharity book and got an average of 59%. On UWorld, I answered all 2100 questions and it said my score was 50% and my median score was 54%. I havent remediated every question just yet but feel like I am doing horrible looking at my scores! Anyone pass their NCLEX with scores looking like mine?? I need all the luck in the world, otherwise I am about to give up.

Congratulations! I plan to test August 13th and this will be my 3rd time testing. I've been using uworld and hoping it will help and was wondering if you did all of the questions.
