I scored around the same scores with my Kaplan Review Course Question Trainers. I ended up getting 265 questions on NCLEX and passed it. One thing I did do was review over the rationales. So if you are feeling a little discouraged, review the rationa...

The only strategy I took from Kaplan was always assume the worst...which now that I think about it, I cant remember if that was Kaplan or HURST. And always assess first...I KNOW that one is a Kaplan strategy. When I went to sit for the test, the only...

My first official week on the floor, I didnt shower until the next morning when it was time to go to work. Needless to say I got contact dermatitis on my arms that spread to my legs and stomach in 3 days. I get in the shower as soon as I get home now...

Good luck! You can do this...Pray to God for peace of mind and calmness and you will succeed!! Go for a walk before you take your test to clear your mind, eat healthy...and try some yoga the days leading up to your test. I never really did yoga until...

What are you doing to prepare? Are you using any review courses? If so, please read over the rationales!

Thanks for sharing this and inspriing others. Good luck on your next try!

Read over the rationales from Kaplan...and if you can, do the tests again. Also do the alternative questions test in Kaplan. I found that the rationales really helped me understand the material a lot better. Good luck!

The endocrine portion of HURST is what I really focused on because it was one of my weak areas and it really helped! If you could just some how find this one section of HURST, it may reinforce your understanding.

I got this same pop up...i ended up trying to register again and long story short...just call them in 2 days. I called and spole directly to a customer service person and they helped me out. Hope this helps!

Congrats!!! I got 265 questions as well and passed too!

I graduated May 14th, took a 4 day review course the following week, took about 11 days off to have some fun, then and studied consistantly starting on June 3rd tilk test day on June 15th...took two days during that time. I do better when I am crammi...

I think everyones experiences with Kaplan are different. I used Kaplan and HURST, but mainly focused on Kaplan...I averaged late 50s on all the question trainers. I took my NCLEX on June 15, 2011 and got 265 questions and passed. Kaplans questions ar...

Nurse Heather, how many questions did you get on your second attempt? I also took mine on 6-15-11 and got 265 questions and passed. However, I did not do the trick because I wouldnt be able to handle something like that...esp with me not knowing if i...

Hi everyone, I recently became an observer within the last 2 weeks and found this website very helpful and encouraging. I am writing this in hopes to encourage others that are just observing right now as well. Every semester, I was always on the verg...

You should try Kaplan...the questions are similar and they really do help! Good luck!

Thanks again, everyone! aredenyf: My mom actually gve me that verse to read the night before my test and I fell in love with it! And I have had several of my friends say Kaplan is the best thing as far as you getting you ready to answer the question...

I strongly suggest going through each of the question trainers and reading the right and wrong rationales. I cant say if your scores are high enough...I knew my scores werent high enough because my Kaplan instructor told me they needed to be in the 6...

Please be sure to read the rationales behind all of the questions you do in Kaplan. They are amazing...read the right and wrong answer rationales for better understanding. And thanks everyone!
