As a foreign nurse I studied in 3 times harder than any native speaking. I was in 60s% on QBank and 70s% on focused Kaplan tests. When I read here that people had 30 from 75 SATA questions, I went to a book store and studied there focusing on alternative style questions. It saved my life - I passed NCLEX with 75 questions. Kaplan is good but not enough!!! Understanding of contest is everything - after you read a question you have to ask "What answer this question wants?" For example, if you just got post-op pt - look at surgical side not at urine output which is also important but not at this second. Another question that I ask myself "What condition /information in question/ makes pt unstable or is critical for pt?" I could not answer one from 75 questions because I did not know a word translation. Did it hurt me? Yes. But how many question I missed because I did not know the material. I truly wish you good luck!!! NCLEX is not harder than Kaplan.

I had 75% on comprehensive #1. Also, I used Kaplan (mandatory in my school) which I found very confusing. However, Kaplan helped me with comprehensive / priority type of questions. I would say, Lippincott helped me to understand contest better. Practice, practice, and practice ... On exam, I had about 30 SATA, 2 pictures, 1 chart, 2-3 step-by-step procedures and a lot of meds. If you have any specific questions I will be happy to answer.Good luck!!!

Yes, I used this book, took and passed NCLEX with 75 questions yesterday. I would say that this book has the most similar questions that I have had on the exam.

IT WORKS! Thanks for the trick. I got the good pop-up the day I took NCLEX which was yesterday and "PASS" on Florida DOH website this morning. I am so happy!!!!! The link above will provide you step by step on how to do the Pearson Vue trick. Basically, if you get this pop-up message, "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time," then you PASSED the NCLEX. If you did not pass, then it will take you to the credit card page which lets you register for the exam again.
