Vanessaem. Yes, with ATI i had 99% chance to pass and then was hit with the 265. Its like all content....not the type of questions we had. did you happen to do the Kaplan course? I've rented a few different books, and they include quizzes also. I just need a boost of how to approach. Like I said, rented several books, but not sure if that is the way or something different. THANKS

I graduated from ADN program in December 2013. I sat for my NCLEX exam on Feb 13, 2014. I had 265 questions and unfortunately, I didn't pass. It is so so frustrating to answer that many questions to not get a passing grade. What I am looking for is advice, suggestions, help....really anything that's worked for someone in my situation. There MUST be a light at the end of the tunnel.....just need to know where to look. Our program used ATI thru the entire program. None of us were huge fans, however it did help. I was talked into using the ATI Virtual Tutor. And by tutor, it means they email you back and forth and ask some questions (that don't appear anywhere on NCLEX) and give us codes to do practice exams in 5 categories. I was killing the ATI questions....which didn't seem like even 1 NCLEX question. Then, you take a predictor and based on your score...as you all probably know they say you have a certain % chance to pass. well, I had a 99% chance to pass NCLEX and was give the "GREEN LIGHT". So much for that..... I figured I would be 73, 74, 75 & done. NOPE, 265 later and hours of tears, I found out Saturday I failed. Worst part, I landed my dream job and now I have to call them tomorrow and tell them my result.... PLEASE help me with what others have done to redeem themselves and for sure will pass the next go around....... I'm so ready to be a licensed RN!!!! THANKS......
