Yes i do think it was a lot better for me. I did Kaplan the 1st two times I took the test and obviously it didn't help. The second time I watched all the videos and I think those helped but the ?s didnt

I really liked it a lot, and it did help me a lot. I did the first 18 chapters and I did a few of the chapters after those. I also think the NCSBN course help too, I felt like the questions were the closest too nclex. I started to do th content but then I stopped and just did all the questions at the end of the course.

This time around I used PDA book and NCSBN 3 week course and I also got a stress relief massage the day before. I have really bad test anxiety and my doctor prescribed me an anti-anxiety med. so with the combo of those things and the grace of God I passed.

Congrats on passing! I also had failed two times and just officially passed the nclex!! I'm just so happy!! It's finally over!

Well everyone I found out I PASSED!!! J just want to thank everyone for the words of encouragement!! I couldn't of done it without this website!!

Thanks everyone I just finished with 180 questions. Good news I'm not crying like the last 2x when I left the testing center. I really don't know how to feel right now. Gonna hope and pray for the best!!!!

Thanks guys, I'm praying more than ever! I will not take this test again!!!!

So tomorrow is the day I take this nclex for the 3rd time. I'm going to beat the test tomorrow. I have studied my butt off every time I haven't passed, but this will be the last time I take it because I AM going to pass tomorrow.!!!

Well I pushed back my test date to nov. 4th cause I didn't feel ready. I'm gonna finished PDA book and go over all my notes this week and answe more questions and hope and pray that's enough!

I will be attempting the nclex for the 3rd time in 6 days and I seriously so stressed. I have really bad test anxiety and on top of it I feel like I am forgetting everything. The first two times I spent hours studying each day, after I failed the second time I took 3 weeks off and when I started back this time which was only 3 weeks ago, I have been only doing 3-4 hours a day. I have been using NCSBN 3week and PDA. I don't know if I'm just burnt out and don't want to study anymore or what. Can someone please help me! I have to pass this time cause if not I don't know if I can go through all of this again.

thank you! I feel like I know what I doing but your right I think my problem is what the question is really asking me. I also have really bad test anxiety, I felt super confident when I took my test the last time but then it didn't shut off at 75 so I got nervous, I ended up have all 265 questions. so I don't think its the content so much.

Hello all, so I'm taking the test for the 3rd time in 3 weeks. I have taken about 3 weeks off of studying. And now I need to buckle down. When I got my results back I was near passing in all and above passing in 1. I was thinking about doing the NCSBN 3 week course and watching the question videos for Kaplan. I also am going to do the PDA book. What does everyone think? Any info will be helpful thank you!

Thanks for your input! I didn't watch the question videos the last 2 times but I'm going to watch them this time around and I think I'm going to purchase the NCSBN and do it for 3 weeks. I mean the Kaplan videos on content where long and boring so I'm sure I can get through the NCSBN ones. I'm sure I could use more tips/strategies.

I failed state boards.

Ok so i just got my letter stating that i failed yet again. I was above in one category and near passing in the rest. My question is i have used Kaplan twice now and obviously it isnt working. so what should i do so i can pass this 3rd time around? What is anyone thoughts on Brilliant-nurses? or NCSBN? I am going to watch the videos on kaplan that break down the questions because this last time i tested i got all 265 so i think i know the content and maybe i just need to figure out how to break down the question better?
