Hi, I advice to you is to take Kaplan review course and buy Saunder 5th ed NCLEX RN review textbook (a MUST!). Kaplan questions are fairly similar with the real NCLEX questions, so I recommend you to do that. I didn't study medication at all because I know that I wouldn't be able to remember every medications and side effects. I took nclex in Sept. 13, 2012 and passed the first time with 75 questions. I thought I was failing, but I do the pearson vue trick and got a 'good pop'. Study tips: 1. Do 265 questions daily after your graduation (6 days a week) 2. You must have Saunder 5ed nclex rn textbook 3. study lab values and types of precautions 4. Knows prioritization and delegation 5. Practice 'Select all that apply' questions as many as you can (majority of the questions in the nclex that I took were select all that apply) 6. Do the pearson vue trick after taking the test (It works 100%) Good luck to your all. Excuse my English, I'm not a native speaker. If I can do it than you can do it!! Best wishes

I wonder the same thing. I took my nclex in Sept 13, knew my result on the 15th showing that I passed. However, I'm waiting for BON to post my license no. but nothing show up and it almost 3 weeks since I took my nclex. I wonder how long do I have to wait since my job will be started in Oct 8. Do you guys have any suggestion? Im afraid that I will not be able to start my new job because of their delay. Really need HELP!!! Thanks

Hi guys, I took NCLEX RN in Sept. 13, 2012. I took kaplan review course and I have to say that I didn't do well at all! Here are my question trainner scores and the readiness test. Diagnostic test 53% Q1 - 49% Q2 - 56% Q3 - 56% Q4 - 56% Q5 - 62% Q6 - 58% Q7 - 62% Readiness test - 65% As you can see these scores were so low that what I was expected. Most of my friends said all you need is 60-65%, but the higher you get the greater chance you will pass the nclex exam. I watched all the video clips from Kaplan (it was so boring and take FOREVER, but I don't want to waste my money). I prepared for 2.5 months, studied at least 3-4hrs day and do at least 150 questions a day. I recommended you to do 265 questions a day, six days a week! I have to say that I was extremely sick of studying, but I have to force myself. Anyway, these were couple materials that I used to study for NCLEX RN. 1. Kaplan RN review course (online) 2. Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination, 5th Edition (must read all the chapters!) 3. NCLEX-RN Q&A Flash Cards (I highly recommended because most of the questions are similar to Kaplan nclex questions) 4. NCLEX Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment: Practice Exercises for the NCLEX Examination (I also recommend you to use this textbook. About 7-10 out of 75 questions on my exam were based from this textbook. From my perspective, I don't recommend you to study the questions from Saunders textbooks because those questions were too easy. Anyway, as I said I took the NCLEX RN exam on 09/13/12. The computer screen shut off at 75 questions and I was freaking out because I knew that I was failing. I came home did the pearson vue trick to check my result and I got a 'good pop'! Two days later I paid Pearson vue $7.95 dollars to check my result - it showed that I pass!!!!!!!! I was so happy. Best wishes!!
