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?

So i would watch a content review video and then answer 100 questions over it on kaplans Qbank. and then i would move on. But during this round of studying i went out of town for 17 days but i tried to study as much as i could when i was out of town. When i watched the videos i took notes. so i would also go over the notes i took and read the 35 page study guide i printed off of allnurses.com. I have really bad test anxiety, but this time i felt relaxed and confident walking in. I dont know what happened.

I just failed for the 2nd time and I have no idea where to start studying. I feel like I was ready but I guess not. So what all does this tutor do? Does she have videos to watch or does she just do questions? Anything will help thank you!

Well this time I watched all the content videos with Kaplan and then answered 100 questions over that topic and if I scored less than 60% I went over it again. I have the Saunders yellow book and I have the nclex-RN 4000 that I used a few times. I also had that 35 pages study guide that I used this time also that it really helped. So idk what I did wrong.

I just found out I have failed for the 2nd time now. I used Kaplan the first time and failed in 231 questions. This time around I used Kaplan again and failed in 265 questions. So apparently I'm not doing something right. Can anyone help me out? I obviously need to change up my studying, so any tips would be great!!! Thank you in advance!!!!

Well I was right I failed again. I'm just so upset and embarrassed. I feel like an idiot. I'm so sick of studying and I just don't want to do it anymore.

I feel the same way ugh I felt so good going into it and then it didn't shut off at 75 and I got upset but just kept pushing along and then got the last one wrong so I just started crying and freaking out cause I'm almost positive I failed it again

Ok so the last 60 questions have to be above the pass line in order to keep getting questions?

Thanks everyone, I'm going to try to be positive. I just have always heard that if you miss the last question on 265 determines if you pass or fail. I'll have to wait it out till Thursday to find out. I'll let everyone know as soon as I do.

Its just so hard, because I was so confident walking in and then I got all the questions and get the last one wrong. I hate that I have to wait the 48 hours.

so I took the nclex for the 2nd time today and got all 265 questions. My last question was a select all that apply for ESRD diet and I got it wrong. Im worried that I failed because I have heard that if you get the last question wrong you fail. Im so upset, I studied so much and I actually felt like the test was a lot easier this time around but I guess I was wrong.
