Awesome story! Hurst remediation didn't work for me either. I focused on questions, my lab values and prayed. I passed my second try.

Don't get discouraged! I took the LPN Hurst review and I had the Saunders book. I did exactly what I was told from the live review. I did the Q review and scored around an 80% on my last test. I told my test on 2/3 and I got about 93 and failed. I could begin to list a bunch of excuses but I know at the end of the day I wasn't prepared. I was trying to memorize the information instead of actually processing it and critically thinking. I tried to do the Hurst remediation packet and it was very overwhelming. After about the first 100 questions I knew I couldn't memorize 735 questions/answers and say all the answers exactly like them. I had the Hurst Review book, Saunders, Exam Cram and a bunch of print outs from varies websites. My cousin whose been a nurse for about 3 years, told me to get rid of all my books and focus on the practice questions from the cd. She advised me to do 500-750 questions a day (she passed her test at 75 doing it this way). That was way too much for me. The most I got was almost 500. My average was about 300. If I got a question wrong I would rewrite the whole question and rationale. I cracked down and studied for 2 weeks and a half and then took my exam over on 6/5, I got all 205, but I actually passed! Everyone learns differently but this way worked for me and helped me understand how to answer the questions.

This is so me right now and its only been 2 months!!! thanks
