The ReMar quick facts book, Yes! I got some questions from that book on my Nclex. It had all the medications I needed to review. So it made it easier for me to decide what meds to study from the Saunders medication section. Luckily I only got two cardio meds. Your best resource is Uworld and Saunders. NCLEX wants you to pass and I figured that out after taking the test. I suck at SATA and the computer could tell and I got a majority of multiple choice. Good Luck

I think it was 62%. I repeated and read the rationales at least 3 times before I took my state boards.

I passed NCLEX with 76 question in 2 hours, no math questions, and 5 SATA . November 2015 was the worst day of my life. I failed Nclex. I didn't know what do, I didn't know how to act. I became depressed. I stayed at home all day just watching TV and I couldn't get out of the slump I was in. I just felt like I wasted 2 years of nursing school to just fail NCLEX. February I attempted to get out of my slump by attending ReMar review, it was half the price of the all the other reviews I've seen online. I still couldn't manage to get out of the slump. I was studying on and off and I mentally I just gave up. One day I just woke up and I told myself I was not going to let this one failure define who I am. I started to study. I purchased Uworld for two months. After 4 weeks I purchased Kaplan, because by then I read half the Saunders book and I was scared because I knew it was that time to turn in my re-examination application. I had mix feeling about the whole situation. In the state of Florida, it takes 30 days for them to approve your application when you re-apply. July 06, 2016, I finally got my ATT letter and my heart jut jumped. This is my second chance to prove to myself and my family that I am not a failure. Of course when I applied for NCLex, this is the time all health care professionals are sitting for their state board the next avaible day was June 21 or July 25. I knew if I waited till July 25 I was going to crazy. I put my big girls pants on and went on study mode. How I studied, I used every resource possible. My main resource was my Saunders book and Uworld. UWORLD worked miracles. The level of difficulty to the color on the screen was exactly like NCLEX. I felt like I was taking a Qbank rather than an actual exam. I know they said not to study the day before the test but I broke that rule. I pulled out my ReMar Quick facts book, which I got a majority of my Nclex questions from. If your on a tight budget, I would recommend Quick facts by ReMar review and UWorld. 99% of my test was from these sources. I only saw three questions I did not know about. The wait for my result was brutal. I got the easiest questions wrong. Only if you knew the questions you would be they passed you and you got your license. I'm pretty sure I killed my patient at least twice. I went crazy re-thinking every question. July 22nd at 5p I saw those 4 letters P-A-S-S. I screamed. I read a post after I took my test that I believe is true. You can get half your questions wrong, but you just have to prove to the people who made NCLEX that you are a competent nurse. I did 76 questions in 2 hours. The best part is, I only had 4-5 SATA. It true Nclex is not trying to trick you to fail. They try to help you to pass. If you feel like you got tricked then you didn't study enough. Good luck to all those people who are taking NCLEX for the second time and for the first.

The ATI manual was worth the money. Read it cover to cover. They are basically giving you an idea what to expect on the test. I used two other book. They where helpful but they gave more information then necessary. I found that to be a waste of my time.

On the Teas you have to have a passing score of a 58.7%.(for Brown Mackie College, I know other schools are higher) If you take it at the school you get your results as soon as you press submit. You don't have to wait a long period of time for your results. I recommend you study from the ATI book. Its about $46 but it so worth it. It give you what you need to study and nothing more or less. I studied for one week with the book and passed it my time. This test is not easy. It is long and stressful but you can get through it. How many of you guys too the TEAS test or re-taking the TEAS test ? For me it was just to long. The math section I almost ran out of time. I finished with 1 min left. I didn't have enough time to double check my work. The Science was straight forward. The ATI book helped a lot. The practice test basically identical to the actual exam. There was no surprise coming into the test. I recommend the ATI book. I money is worth it.

I thought the Science part was really easy. The ATI book really helped a lot. It give you what you need to know. Nothing more nothing less. The practice test is basically the same format as the actually exam. I studied for one week and got the required score for my school, which is pretty low. I met people who took it 2-3 times and they still didn't pass. The math part was straight forward. I kinda of got distracted because I couldn't use a calculator, so i took longer then i wanted. I only had to minute to check my answers. I also recommend that you go over your answer when you are done. For all the sections but math I had enough time to re- check my answer. I strongly recommend that. Don't just go to the next section, use all the time that you have left. There is no point in rushing to go to the next section. You have all the time you need, just take your time. You will do great!
