I took the NClex 3 times years ago and gave up. Decided to give it another try and failed. I did take the Kaplan course and I did use the pointers the teacher gave us and part of the tree. I passed on my 5th try which was a month after my Kaplan ...

Yes I have taken the Nclex on June 10th and passed. I took it 4x before, decided to dish out the money for the Kaplan review in early may, gave myself a month to put together notes and took the test. Passed on my 5th try. Kaplan put things into pe...

That's what I did. I got those last two questions and I was stoked. When it shut off, I called my mom "I passed". She asked me how I knew and I told her. Then I'm driving home and thought, crap, what if I was too excited and didn't click the right...

Our Kaplan teacher yelled at us in class. After telling us to read the question, take it at face value and answer it. After the 100th question, someone blurted out "what if...." and she said "where does that say that in the question?, it doesn't.....

Kaplan does give a money back guarantee or you can sit for another class. I don't think they offer it more than once because they figure they can give you the tools to take the test, but if you don't know your content it's not going to help you if y...

It's hard to tell... everyone learns differently. I made notes from my old nursing books, books from the library and my nclex review and rationales book. I focused on information from all resoursces and compiled notes from all the books on Addisons...

Kaplan is a bit more expensive.... but you get 3 months of online help; and 4 days in the classroom. Depending where you are and their rules, Kaplan has a money back guarantee but you have to look at the small print to see if you qualify. You can ...

I was told to do about 100 with rationales a day and get in a minimum of 2,000 in before the test. I didn't do that. I started, but one question would say this, then I had a similar question and thought I knew the answer and it was wrong. It was j...

It's hard to determine if you have passed or failed by number of questions. If you continue on past 75, the computer is still giving you a chance. I knew I passed after 83 only because question 82 and question 83 I knew the answers to and was 150% ...

I made a 3 ring binder study guide for myself. I used my old nursing books, books from the library and the nclex study guide that has chapters, questions and a disc. I took all the topics I felt I was weak in, looked it up in all the books I had an...

I graduated in 1997 and failed the test 3x after graduation. Did refreshers, every book I could get a hold of and nothing. Back then I failed with 75 questions twice and 265 once. I gave up, took a step back and walked away. Used my medical assis...

I think you really need to focus on areas that you're not confident in and bump up your daily questions. It took me 5x to pass the dumb thing. Good luck

Either way, the envelopes come pretty quick. I took test #4 on a Tues, got my brown envelope on Friday. #5 was taken on a Wednesday, got my certificate on Monday. Hard to tell....depends maybe on your state.

You can go to KaplanNursing.com and look for review courses in your area. They are 499.00 I googled nursing review on line and came across another one a community college was giving for 350.00 but it was 6 weeks later than the Kaplan. I wanted t...

I don't know if they really do know. I watched the monitors as I was fingerprinted in and out of the room and he has pictures of all the people from a top view making sure no one is cheating. I didn' see anything else but camera shots of people in ...

No one can possibly know every single drug. New ones come out on the market weekly/monthly. Hard to keep up. You start working at one place they will use these group of meds, you go elsewhere, they used a whole different set. On top of everything...

It's hard to tell. I had the last question right and shut off at 83 and I passed. My friend went to 126 and he got the last one wrong and he passed.

I shut off at 83, but I was fairly confident on #82 and 150% sure on #83. I left out of there confident, but when I started to talk to people about my last answer and 3 people chose different answers than I did, I was beginning to doubt myself. Che...

I took the NCLEX 4x and flunked. I didn't know what to do. I really didn't want to spend the money on Kaplan, but at that point I was desperate and dished out the money. Took the class, faithfully attended every one, took notes, paid attention, a...

We had the same question for our Kaplan teacher about pharm. She told us if the question doesn't give you any type of clue and you don't have any idea on what the medication is, she said to pick an answer and just forget about it. Don't dwell on it...

Everyone has different ways of studying and learning. It's hard to determine. I took the test 5x. The first 4 I did self study. After the 4th fail, I spent 500.00 on the Kaplan review class. To me personally, I think it helped. I passed on the...

I don't know where you live, but if you're willing to drive a bit, check different Pearson locations. You may have to go out of your way, but you may get the date you want and it won't interfere with work.

It's a VERY boring topic. I ended up studying my weaknesses. I would try to focus on Thyroid (Addisons/Cushings) Signs, symptoms and treatment and some Diabetes especially meds.

I only had two and one was one I heard of and the other wasn't. It varies just like everything on the test. I took the test 5x and got questions on traction. What do I do, study anything and everything about traction, next test, not a one on that...

My very last question was a select all that apply and it shut off at 83, I passed. It's hard to tell. If it passed 75 questions, it's still giving you a chance. What happens with that, it's hard to tell. I looked up my last question and I got the...
