I used Kaplan the first time around and it apparently wasn't enough. I am gonna try to use Ati again, even though my tutor is worthless and really doesn't help me to understand concepts I'm missing. And I will try to use hurst and Saunders to help with my content and then I have the la charity book for leadership and delegation questions. Just so much to know not sure how I'll ever know what I need to know to pass

I also failed with Kaplan and had similar scores to you. I decided to get my money back because I felt like I had gained all I was going to gain from Kaplan and needed to look else where for help. My problem was also content and I'm now using ATI- which I'm not a fan of but since I have already paid for it through my schooling I figured I might as well take it. Hurst is really good for content and I found a friend who had already taken it and a 30 day subscription to all the lectures was only 50$ so I'm gonna also try that and Saunders. Failing sucks so I know how you feel.

Well I failed the nclex two days ago. I'm pretty upset and down about it. I feel like how could pretty much everyone else in my class have passed and not me. I worked so hard for the past three months and now I'm embarrassed that this has happened. I don't know where to go from here and how to pick myself back up again. I am thinking about doing the ncsbn review and I have the Saunders book coming in the mail. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Just at a loss and heartbroken

You guys have no idea what your posts mean to me. They truly made me feel Better and like I'm not alone. I'm feeling a bit better today. Just not sure how to go about my studying this time so that I can pass. It is so nice and thoughtful of you to take time to respond to me, someone you've never met and know nothing about. Really, thank you thank you thank you.

Pearson let me type in my credit card.

I failed nclex today if that makes anyone feel better. Rough day.

I didn't pass....or at least it took my to the credit card screen. Beyond devastated and embarrassed.

Thank you everyone. I am probably going to throw up at least once before the test ugh

My school used ATI and we got tutors once we graduated who were supposed to tutor us....I guess their definition of tutor and my definition didn't match up. I found myself experiencing more frustration than anything else from ATI. It has worked for some people in my class but it's no different than just studying on your own. The tutor does not benefit you really at all other than to just give you codes. I took Kaplan and found that to be a million times more helpful. I would not reccomend the ATI tutor program to anyone and plan on writing a letter to my school once I pass about what a huge waste of money it was.

Thanks everyone...I have less than 24 hours until my test..Though I have studied soooo much these past 3 months, now when I try to recall certain facts I am having a hard time. I hope it is not the same way tomorrow

I appreciate that really I do:)

Ah I am freaking out and really questioning my readiness and knowledge. I can't believe it's in two days. I know all my posts sound like I'm a crazy person but really I'm never this anxious about anything. I can't even study and haven't been able to the past few days because I'm so stressed. I know I need to study and get in more info but I'm just so nervous. I feel like I'm gonna go into respiratory alkalosis thinking about this test! Any last words of encouragement or must know information that I should review today and tomorrow?? Ugh this is awful

You will do great! Just had some personal issues come up so I'm hoping to keep focused on the nclex and set that aside until after my test. Hope it works

Ok I will most definitely try. Thank you everyone for the support and encouraging words. It's kind of funny how much strangers can have an impact on you but I so greatly appreciate it

Ok I will try. I have this terrible fear of failing and I'm not sure why.

Any topics I should definitely look over before taking my test? Content is not my strongest area though I have been working my butt off these past few months!!

Yeah one girl in my class took it last week and said that it's just the bare minimum for content but that still scares me because I learned not a whole lot from patho- there are tons of things I have never heard of when I take Kaplan tests which is discouraging

When is your test? How have you been preparing?

Yeah I think I'll freak out a bit if I get all 265 but it is what it is. Your right, it's just a score but I just have had a few friends take the nclex and pass in all but one section and then they ended up failing and that really scared me.

Good luck! With your Kaplan score I would not be worried at all!

I have looked through it but its like a lot of random facts. I test Wednesday ugh

A 70 is awesome though. I've yet to score in the 60's. I need like a quick content overview because its my physiological adaptation and my school clearly did awful teaching me about it. I did really well on the Kaplan prioritizing test so that was good but I'm so scared of failing. If I were you I would feel so good about the test and go into it with high confidence.

How did you do on 7? Do you think I should postpone my test?

Ok so my test is in 6 days and I am in panic mode 100%. I just took Question Trainer 7 and am exhausted. My last four tests scores are as follows: QT 4: 52% QT 5: 54% QT 6: 56% QT 7: 57.36% I know you are supposed to be getting a 60 or higher but I just cant seem to hit that benchmark. Are my scores close enough or should I really consider postponing it? I am still shaking from taking QT 7.....don't know what to do....any advice? I dont want to postpone because I am scared if I do it once, I will do it multiple times. But I also, as does everyone else, want to pass. What to do...

That's good to hear. I'm just beyond stressed. I feel like there is so much content and I haven't heard of Lot of it. What did you get for QT 7? And how did you study after taking QT 6 and 7? I test in exactly one week and have never been so miserable in my life. I will feel mortified and sick to my stomach if I don't pass.
