I apologize in advance for the long post, but I promised myself I would come back here to share my thoughts/experience/journey after it was all over. And here I am, officially an RN!!! So here it is, as concise as possible. My first post here was a ...

My scores for ATI at the very beginning were terrible. Like 40-50s. This was before I actuallt started studying. After I started studying they improved and I ranged 60s to low 70s. The requirement to move on to the next subject is 60 so I always trie...

PVT works!

Another thing I forgot to mention was for my first attempt I finished the test quickly. I was so anxious and just wanted it to be over that I rushed through the whole thing. The second time I took my time. TAKE YOUR TIME!!

I have been pretty active on this site since I failed my first attemp at the NCLEX-RN about two weeks ago. Mostly because I was so embarassed, and did not know where to turn where I could relate to other people. Briefly, I graduated in May, cum-laude...

Hey, I have been lurking around here for a little while during nursing school and recently now that I graduated in May. I took my nclex July 2, and found out today (July 4) that I failed :-( I am devastated to say the least for so many reasons. I stu...

Dont give up just yet! You completed nursing school so you are capable of passing the exam! Maybe take some time off, reflect and save up money for a different review course. Make it a point to pass your third time because its your last chance. Stay ...

Congrats! I used this book to study the first time around, but I will def be looking over it again!

Great job! I had to delete my facebook because it was distracting and honestly hurtful to keep seeing all my classmates pass. I kept asking myself how and why me. I decided deleting it and keeping distraction at a minimum was best. Are you using saun...

MY personal opinion after failing the NCLEX-RN on my first attempt was that the saunders book was WAY too easy, and I was shocked when I got to the real NCLEX and it's questions. Besides rushing through the exam, I strongly believe I failed because I...

This post is so good to see. It comes at such a good time for me as I just failed my first nclex attempt. Seeing the results was heartbreaking indeed. I will keep refering to this post for hope and inspiration. Congrats on your success! You did it!

Sure, are you able to send me a private message?

How long have you been waiting for your ATT? I failed my test as well at the beginning of this month and got my ATT to test again pretty quick. Maybe it differs by state. Did you do virtual ATI with the online tutor? I had to pay for ATI since it was...

Hey guys, I will be attempting my nclex for the second time in the new few weeks . My ATT is good until mid october, so I was thinking of taking it sometime in early september. My question is, I am not sure if I will have to take it sooner since I wi...

Yes you will need to pay another 200 to pearson vue to take the test again. I also had to pay another 80 to professional something and not the 230 like the first time since my application is still within a year. Better luck next time! When you receiv...

Sorry guys but if you get the cc page then you most likely failed. There are very few cases of the trick not being reliable. I got the cc page and 2 days later confirmed I failed :-(

So sorry. I had the same reaction as you. I searched online for hope that this trick was indeed not reliable, but I could not find such a thing. Turns out I had failed. Stay strong.

I would suggest using saunders ALONG with other books/resources. I used only saunders for my first nclex-rn attempt and failed. Keep in mind I barely used the CD, which has a lot of questions. I did however read the yellow book from cover to cover, c...

Great! I will go ahead and schedule it then. And yes! I have every intention that this second time will be my last time!! Thanks!!

So I just received the kaplan nlcex-rn book (strategies, practice and review). I registered for the online portion at kaptest.com, but I cant seem find the resources the book gives me access to anywhere on the site! I am logged in, but cannot find a...

I figured it out. I guess it takes a little while after I register. Thanks.

I used to think this was the case. But the more questions I do, the more I see ABC, and maslow doesn't always work. It totally depends on the type of question. I used to think that ABC was always the right answer, but it's not.

Thanks :-)

Test anxiety is REAL. Lack of strategy is REAL. The NCLEX is a strategy test as it is having knowledge, critical thinking skills etc blah blah. After much reflection, I know why I failed my first attemp. I could take offense to the comment about "peo...

I bought my PDA book on amazon.
