Thank you so much . I will give an update , and yes I will go and do 1-3 . :)

Hello Everyone , So I have read MANY blogs about how to pass the NCLEX and the different preps that were used. So I decided to start my own thread where I will be sharing my personal experiences and hopeful success. I will retaking NCLEX -RN for the second time on August 5, 2014 @8AM. I completed a Kaplan in class review about two weeks ago , and now utilizing the online materials. My school provided Kaplan during graduation week (NO WONDER I FAILED, HORRIBLE TIMING!!), and of course I didn't comprehend or truly care about the material. I can only blame myself for not being successful because I really didn't put in the time like I should've. Currently I am utilizing all aspects of Kaplan and my scores are mucccchhhh better!! I did not read the book cover to cover but I have covered a lot inside , and based it solely upon my weak areas. Any area that was not about a 50% is where I started to remediate, and then I would look over the ones under 60% just not as in depth. Here are my current scores from Kaplan. Diagnostic : 60 Readiness : 63 Q4 : 52 Q5: 57 Q6: 56 QBank: so far I have done 420 questions (which I just started last week and been doing around 150 questions a day) I am 35% complete with an average of 60% so far (THAT DARN Reduction of Risk Potential UGH!) MY SCORES SO FAR WERE : 50, 60, 68, 68, 61, 53. So as u can see there not TERRIBLE but they could get better. RN SAMPLE test #1 - 66% - I have not did Q1-3 because my Kaplan instructor explained to me that it was solely content based questions which were not above passing level , so I do plan on looking through them but not my priority. I AM going to continue to remediate and look over ALL the rationales. Any areas that I am weak on I will continue to review and see if its the content that I am getting wrong or the way that I am breaking down the question. Feel Free to share you success/ failure stories , Kaplan scores , or other tips about studying :) I will ensure to keep you all updated as this next week and a half comes. Hopefully a success story !
