i must say it is a good feeling when u finish taking the test,and then there is the wait,i did the pearson vue trick and i may have passed after having 265 quest,april2010 test plan style:),i am still waiting for the official results,also i checked my state board and the rn school i graduated from was listed no license number that takes 2-5 buisiness days in bosoton,ma.test hard,hesi,is good,exam cram good just not a lot of content just the basic stuff but it did help and i did see stuff that was in the book on the exam,the exam cram cd rom good i did not get to the simulation area because i had kaplan questions as well,i wanted to do 3500 -5000 quetsions which takes time,i studied for 3-4months because i had the kaplan review,for first time test takers testing within 6months of graduation kaplan has a refund/retake policy here in boston,ma,i would suppose it nationwide,they also now have the online nclex rn like the hurst review,i would suggest using different questions from different areas,the nclex 3500,new edition is nclex 4000 has good alternate item format,got to buy.com and you can get nclex items cheaper than in the book store,some items qualify for free shipping and handling,if funds are low,also study application and analysis questions,this is the passing level on the nclex rn,mosby questions are good too,some colleges have these books in the library,i dont if they can be taken out but certainly if you have a lap top and you go to library you can download the questions you dont need the cd to use the questions,also another good was is nursing made incredibly easy,some of these books i own and some were reccomended by people who failed/passed and used these books,oh another good one lippincott question and answer review ninth edition,i havent seen any 2010 nclex rn books these books are based on the 2007 test plan,use books that are less than 5yrs old this was a reccomendation from another web site,use the last editin of the above books.i thought i would share this info,do questions everyday and try a couple of long exams 265 to build your stamina,i was well prepared to take the whole shabang,well i feel better,i let everyone know if i pass/fail.will keep thje faith and be hopeful,confidence is the key,we passed nursing school and we will pass this exam,best of luck to everyone.
