Way too expensive!! There are very credible resources for much cheaper! Hurst, Kaplan, & Uworld all have high NCLEX pass rates!

Update: I PASSED! My results posted sometime during the night between 1/28/2019 & 1/29/2019 EEEK ?

Wow, congrats!! I took mine on 1/22/19 and I'm still waiting for official results/license number. The waiting is torturous!!

Since I was looking everywhere for information regarding ATT and confirmation of my passing probability, I figured others may be too.. so here this is for future nurses! 12/5/2018: Applied to BRN 12/17/2018: Graduation 1/10/2019: School sent transcripts to BRN 1/15/2019: Application approved on Breeze (BRN) website 1/16/2019: Received ATT from Pearson 1/22/2019: Took NCLEX 1/28/2019: STILL WAITING FOR OFFICIAL RESULTS ? I got "the good pop-up" from Pearson Vue, but it isn't the same as seeing your license on the BRN. When I got ATT from Pearson, the closest test date available in a 50-mile radius was 2/7/2019. I signed up for that day, but I checked Pearson multiple times a day to see if someone had rescheduled, thus opening up a spot for me to test earlier. It worked. I rescheduled to 1/31/2019, but I still kept checking. Alas, 1/22/2019 opened up, and I jumped on it. As far as reviews/studying for NCLEX, here is my data. HURST: "Our recent study of pass rates revealed that Hurst Review students who were successful on the NCLEX®RN exam achieved a median score of 77 out of 125 on the Q Review." Q Review 1: 86/125 Q Review 2: 85/125 Q Review 3: 93/125 Q Review 4: 92/125 Q Review Average: 89/125 I only studied my weak topics/topics of high importance from the Hurst Review book before taking NCLEX. Fluid/electrolyte, endocrine, renal, and management of care. I utilized the majority, if not all of their practice questions and their Q Reviews. READ THE RATIONALES! KAPLAN: From a 2014 quote, "The goal score for the Diagnostic and Question Trainers 1-5 is 65%. For the Readiness test, Question Trainers 6, 7 & all QBank tests, the goal is 60%. See Chapter 2 of your book for details." From a 2017 quote, "...any score above 60% on the Readiness is favorable." I didn’t do any of the Trainers – I only took the Readiness Test and got 63%. On the NCLEX I had ­75 questions and finished in 1 hour. It was HARD. Majority were SATA. My advice to you: do practice questions, READ RATIONALES, take the night before the exam off to relax, BREATHE, trust your gut. I can't wait to update you all with "I PASSED!" ....hopefully this week!

Where did you find the passing probability? I can only see my percentage on the exam (63%) not the chance of passing. I take NCLEX on Tuesday and and worried I need to reschedule.

December 17: Graduation January 7-9: Hurst Review January 22: NCLEX My friend took his on Thursday (Jan 17) and got his results last night - HE PASSED! Whoohoo. I have always been a good student and don't have much problem testing though.. so consider your own study and testing habits before taking NCLEX. You will have access to your Hurst account for 30 days after your review. They recommend you study the material provided for 2 weeks prior to NCLEX.

Hurst! It is an investment ($400) but it is amazing. Their rationales are more in depth than Kaplan. They have 12 "Core Content" categories that include Fluid & Electrolyte, Burns, Endocrine, Cardiac, Renal, Neuro, etc.. and they teach you how to answer NCLEX questions, which I think is the most valuable part of the course. If you still have access to HESI, use their practice questions too. The more NCLEX style questions you take, the better!

Mine is also on January 22nd, but at 0800. I was originally signed up for February 7th, but something sooner opened, so I took it. Now I'm beginning to wonder if I jumped the gun. I do want to be done with the stress and anxiety, but I don't know if I am fully prepared. Will we every be fully prepared? Hurst review has been helpful but when I was rewatching the videos I felt so unmotivated and felt like I was wasting my time because "I already know this stuff.." I'm at the point with practice questions that they are starting to pop up again, so I don't have to use a single brain cell to answer them. Hopefully we can focus on studying for the next 3 days (rather than scour AllNurses for NCLEX help....guilty!) and show that NCLEX who's boss! From one future RN to another, best of luck!
