Hello all, I passed my second nclex attempt today. First try I got 258 questions and today I got 120... I definately got different questions of course but it was not more difficult that the first time. I'd say they were both pretty difficult I got a lot of SATA on both tests, and a lot of priority and meds. Honestly if you do not have kaplan, get it. The trainer tests were so similar to questions I saw on the exam. Go over every rationale even if you got the question right. You learn content that way too. But I'm blabbering now, to answer the question No the test is definately not harder.

Thanks everyone:) yes I did the pvt and it says I can't reschedule another exam at this time!!! That's the good pop up... I keep checking just to make sure it doesn't change. Lol

Thanks! This time I used Kaplan and only studied off of the trainer tests... I would take a test then go over every single rationale right or wrong and while I did that if I was unsure about anything or felt like I didn't know what the disease was or med etc., I would look it up and right it down. Doing hurst the first time was great to brush up on content but I failed the first time. I recommend going over practice questions daily because that actually helps you with content as well. Good luck to everybody:)

Hey everyone this morning I took the NCLEX again and I passed with 120 questions!!! I'm so happy and relieved. For any Repeat test takers you can do it and good luck!!!

Hey congratulations!!! I finished my test at 10am got 120 questions and the screen turned off! Went home and did the PVT and got the good pop up!! Congratulations to the both of us:) the world just gained two more RN's

Good luck!!! I'm taking my test for the second time tomorrow also at 8am!! I'm so scared. I hope your outcome this time is the good pop up:)

Thank you soooo much!!! tomorrow is the big day. Round 2 ahhhhhh I'm so scared:uhoh3:

I'm in the same situation you were in, it's very stressful and I'm taking my test again August 21st... I first used hurst but I didn't do the remediation I got a refund and I got kapplan now. I also bought exam cram by Pearson and that has a cd of 1500 questions. I'm desperate and I will try anything. Congratulations on passing you must feel like a huge weight is lifted off your shoulders:) I was wondering if you could post the link or copy and paste the review you said you found on here. I would love to see it.

I have one for canes.... Cane Opposite Affected Leg And APGAR score components SHIRT: Skin color Heart rate Irritability (response to stimulation) grimacing, cry.. Respirations Tone (muscle)

Does anyone have any cool mnemonics to share to remember things like diseases or meds etc.,? If you do please add them on...

Thank you!!! I will never give up, round two Im going to tackle this test and pass:) Congrats on passing RN

Thank you for the advice:) I appreciate it

Thank you!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed and studying my butt off for the next month:) I'll let you all know the outcome

I just got Kapplan. Does Lacharity have questions? I will be buying that book because I've had a few people recommend it. Do you do a certain amount of questions a day?

Don't give up! I was upset too but you have to move on and try again... I'm so happy I have gotten over failing. I feel like I know where I went wrong and I'm going to study as much as I can and take it again August 21st. I took it July 3rd. And come on, 45 days is already going by so quick. All you can do is hope for the best and try again. Don't be too upset:)

I'm from New Mexico:)

Yes that's the good pop up. So far five girls I've graduated with have gotten that message and then quick results 2 days later confirmed they passed. Go out and celebrate! I promise Pearson vue is accurate as long as your exam says delivery successful...

I took the test about a week ago and it sent me straight to the credit card page! Two days later I did my quick results and it said fail so as long as you aren't getting to the cc page your good:)

You passed! Don't be upset, I've heard the Pearson vue trick is accurate. Congratulations!!!

Thanks for the advice, I will definately consider purchasing kapplan. I have a friend that took her boards yesterday and studied only Kapplan and she passed. I feel like I rushed to take it because I wanted to get it over with and I wanted it sooooo bad. This time if I feel like I'm not ready I'm going to reschedule. I had a lot of priority questions, who would the nurse see FIRST. And a lot of infection control, and a lot of pharmacology. Good Luck to you on your NCLEX! And thank you again for the advice I really do appreciate the feedback:)

Hey everyone, I took my NCLEX last week and I didn't pass. It was so difficult! I got a ton of SATA, it seemed like every other question was SATA! I received 250 something questions. I used the online Hurst review for about two weeks. Hurst is great with content information but in my opinion it did not prepare me for the questions I received on NCLEX. I went to Barnes and noble yesterday and purchased a couple books. Hopefully they are helpful (we'll see when I take the boards again on August 21st) I have started reading the Exam Cram which is a "Pearson" book. So far it's pretty good, I've already seen one question similar to a question I got on the NCLEX. I also bought the illustrated NCLEX review by Jo Carol Claborn, if your a visual learner I recommend it because it has drawings of people with a disease and funny ways to remember your content. I've been seeing people post about LaCharity. I Want to buy that book but is it worth it? How many questions should I be reviewing per day? I want to follow a strict study routine. Please give me some feedback:)
