One has more OB questions and the other has more mental health...I took predictor 2 and it had more OB questions. make sure you do the trainers 1 to 3 but if you can do them all before taking the predictor test. Good luck.

I believe if you can be at level 8 on passpoint, you shouldn't have any problems with Nclex...because level 8 questions seem easy but remember... Nclex is about safety and safety!

You will see some questions from Nclex 3500 and the lippincot nclex review book, But get to level 8 on all components and take the nclex style tests and see where you stand. I personally found it very helpful...I reached level 8 on all subjects and did the nclex style test and the level 8 questions are very similar to the real Nclex.

Nclex knows that we will apply the ABC's...because that is what they told us in school. Pick the Air first! But Nclex will give you an Air way answer but it is not always the best answer. Knowing your content will help you in Nclex and when you are interviewing for a job! Good luck!

Your topic read as follows: " [h=1]How did you study for NCLEX?, I failed it and need advice"[/h] Arrogant or not, he gave you an advice...now you can take it or leave it...Besides Nclex does not care if you had a traumatic event in your life! Good luck!

Agree 100%...

I agree...We had a lady that was wonderful, listening to her and how she approaches a questions was a good learning tool for me.

Remember...read content and do questions on the subject you read...I like Saunders because you can read content and do question and if you want you can do pharma on the same subject too. Give yourself about 1 or 2 weeks for each subject. no weekends off!!! On the weekends read content on your weak points and do pharma/IV calculations etc. On the nclex 10000 passpoint, the break-down is similar to kaplan so get to level 8 on all of them. (you can do questions of 20 or 50, I did questions of 20 and review and break and another 20 review before going to bed.) Now, once you reached level 8 on all do the 75 nclex style questions with no time limit at first. For the last two weeks before my nclex test, I did content and questions on Saunders in the am and pm...and at night I did two 75 style questions before going to bed for two weeks. Good luck!

what questions? just in case...before taking the predictor test...do trainers 1 to 3 before taking the kaplan predictor...good luck!

You have to feel that you are ready to take the test. You will not know everything, but you must know what is safe vrs unsafe, acute vrs chronic, actual risk for injury is a priority, and etc. There is a video from kaplan that tells you what the nclex is all about and is about the pt. safety. good luck and we all were scared before taking the test and petrified after the test! Think of mild/moderate anxiety but do not get to severe or panic anxiety!

Remediate the 100 questions take a 5 to 15 minute break and remidiate only what you got wrong...this way you go over what you got wrong twice! Review content of stuff you got wrong, as a way to reinforce your weak areas. Good luck!

I would watch his videos and I notice that there were mistakes on what he was saying; from that point forward I decided not to watch his videos. I like what he is doing but he needs to be more professional about it, specially if he is charging money! I used this videos for my nclex and they were helpful and accurate! I love this videos! https://www.youtube.com/user/MEDCRAMvideos/videos They have their videos as a review...got to love them. MauiMaryRN - YouTube I like how she explain the material and how she teaches you how to approach questions. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwozjkRz1ddYmozmjynxLPQ/videos If you are having trouble with med calculations, this link is helpful and Rona is very funny! I hope they help!

I would like to know how you did in the past two test. how many questions you did on each test. I can understand having a B plan just in case, but until then; just review and study.

Man...while in school all of my test were at 8 am and I would read and review for my test until 1 to 2 am at first and I was more tired and actually sleepy for the remainder of the classes. Thus, I started taking 2 benadryls or 1 advil PM at 10 pm the latest! From that point on I did much better on the tests and classes afterwards. I believe getting a good nights sleep is essential for learning and retaining new information. Ok, now about the test! you seen the questions on nclex and now you should have an idea how to study. you know how the present their questions and those select all that apply question! Go over your material and ask yourself, which help me or which did not help me.

Not helping yourself with this kind of questions...

Did you get them?

remember HOLD High Pressure Alarm => Obstruction in the airway Low Pressure Alarm => Disconnection or leak in the ventilator or pt starts breathing

Thank God we only have to take it once!!!

I think it all depends on your personality! my brother and friends told to relax the day before the test and don't read or review, instead watch a movie or something. However, that is not my personality. My test was at Wednesday at 2 PM and i did my practice questions the day before the test and on the day of the test. I took it like just another test! Therefore, you know yourself better than we do, if you have a routine follow it. But i would suggest to eating something sweet before entering the person testing center, I had some chocolate bars. The Best Brain Food for Test-Takers Actually, I stated eating chocolate [dark or white] before each test; then after the test i would eat an apple. But like I said, you know yourself better and what works for you. Thus, think positive and try to eat food that will help your brain function better. Good luck and you can do this!

Congratz!!! another new RN...Thank God.

That is the truth! Kaplan trainers 6 to 7 are passing level questions as per the Kaplan representative.

I worked 3 to 11pm...my schedule for studying was as follows: i would get up by 7:30 the latest and a quick breakfast then i would do 100 question on saunders just on Fundamentals, then i would go over the no matter if i got 98% or more. then I would have my breakfast around 10:00 am and then i would read content until 12 to 12:30 then lunch and then I would do 75 questions on prepU exam mode and go over it before going to work. While i work i would take my index cards of pharma and maternity and i would go over them my breaks or down-time. I took 2 weeks off before my nclex and I did 100 questions saunders fundamentals by 10 am then 100 med surg [cardio, resp, neuro, musco, endocrine, oncology, renal, and gastro only]by 12 pm. Then I read content or go over my index cards pharmacology, peds and maternity. at 6 pm I would do 100 questions on maternity, psych, and peds. By 8 pm I would do 75 questions exam mode prepu and reach level 8; I am usually done by 10 or 1030 pm...and before going to bed i would watch a video from this lady's site on youtube and do the question of the day in her instagram. tootRn https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwozjkRz1ddYmozmjynxLPQ/videos I found her link 3 weeks before my nclex and it was helpful...I believe she explains things much better than mike linares sorry bro! You have two months use it wisely! btw: I used Saunders 6ed. and I used it during med-surg, maternity, peds, and psysch. so I was pretty familiar with the questions by this time but when you get those select all that apply, believe you me you will not be that scare. I believe you have to do repetition no understand something real well. As far as the prepU I reached level 8 on content and then I did the nclex style questions and very helpful i must say! My experience with Nclex went as follows: I took my nclex and I got 25 to 30 select all that apply questions and i was not afraid and i kept going, I reached 75 and click on next bottom and I got 76 question...I was upset inside but happy I was still doing good. I did not check how many questions I did i just read each question twice and asked myself, do i understand the topic and then I move to the answers. I hit my 2 hour break and I kept going no breaks [i was ready to go 6 hours with no break] I hit the blue screen and I did the survey and it was close to 5 pm. get in a mode of answering questions and reading content that is your weakest!

my school used kaplan, but while in rotations at the Hospital; I met a guy from another college and he was using lippincot's N-clex rn passpoint...so we share ids and passwords and i like the level 7 and 8 on passpoint questions, they were very challenging and when i took my nclex i seen similarities with the questions from level 8 to my nclex test. Now his school had a deal with lippincot and they got the 6 month passpoint for 100 dollars. [there is a 3 month or a 6 month option] I used saunders during school and after i was done with my school exit, I kept doing saunders [reading content and doing questions afterwards] and to further get the material I used the prepU and reached level 8...then I did the trainers 5 to 7 on kaplan for practice. I hope it helps and I wish you the very best and don't give up!!!

good luck and stay positive...

Congratz!!! you did not give up and it paid off...once again congratz!
