Believe1986

The how I can answer by saying that I simply made up a routine and I followed through. I graduated on 2011, my first attempt was a complete disaster. 75 Qs and fail. My family was being persecuted in my country while I was in Philly happily studying. I couldn't concentrate, I took Kaplan, never did a routine and it was horrible. I have always been terrible taking tests even though my GPA was great, I lack confidence on myself. But theres always hope... My second attempt, my family was safe with me here in the US but I somehow scared and I saw the NCLEX as a monster. I bought exam cram and Kaplan but never really established a routine, I was a bit lost and I failed with 84 Qs. As a result I started Culinary School and I decided to maybe give up on nursing. But when I realized that even though I love to cook I am a nurse deep down, I decided to start again. I went with Kaplan again and NOTHING, again lost with the HUGE book that doesn't even show one picture and its just boring to even look at! I did some questions, but again, didn't follow a routine. 78 Qs and bye bye. FOURTH attempt, very important one. FORGOT KAPLAN, TOOK HURST..BINGO! Hurst helped me enormously...yes, I didn't pass got 250 Qs, BUT I finally understood the content in a way that I had never understood it!!! I was one step away from passing when I failed that test!! I didn't know it! But I can tell you now for sure...without HURST I never would've passed. FIFTH and last attempt (188 Qs), I bought SAUNDERS and reviewed HURST...MADE A ROUTINE. 100 Qs daily (took sunday off) with review from Saunders online program that comes with the book that has 5,000 questions. I went to the library like if it was my job, it felt good to get out of the house. The best part? I did this for 3 weeks only...and I passed..just had to show myself and God that with a bit of hard work I could do it. The message of the story? MAKE A ROUTINE! 100 Qs DAILY! and know your basic content..review those exams you make! you learn a lot from reviewing.. Now, if you want more tips...shoot me an email at [email protected]'ll help you pass...I know its frustrating, but please don't give up...you can do it!!
