Sucks, paid for the quick results today and was literally shocked it said failed. Feels like mike tyson hit me in the gut!!! I got 3 incident report questions and 2 advanced directives. Probably 10-14 select all that apply. 1 picture (PPD shot) know ...

Dont give up! I passed on 12/15. See my other thread where I talked about the questions I received and how I studied. Mine shut off at 85 again! This time, I passed. WOO HOO!!!! on the 22nd received my new york state registration and license in the m...

Hi, thanks for the kind words. I finally passed on 12/15 in my 2nd attempt! Shut off at 85 questions. Check out my other thread about it I explained what I did and type of questions I encountered. Onto my RN now. gl to you!

UPDATE 12/16/14************** Just called straighterline. I spoke to a rep and he said that if you are going into their NURSING program, they want you to take it at their school instead of straighterline. I have to believe it because straighterline i...

Well, I finally caved and bought my quick results, 10 minutes ago and low and behold I passed! To say I am shocked is an understatement! As I replied above, there was no way I thought I passed. The only thing I will say is this: SATA's HAVE to be UPP...

Hi all, I am making this thread to discuss my Kaplan journey. Brief history, I took my Nclex-PN and failed a week ago and after getting a lot of feedback, I decided to give Kaplan a whirl. I am doing the classroom anywhere. It cost me 108/month, bill...

I think I dive in to much into the info and I forget the basics. I really do. I dont know what else to do....This post will be me talking to myself, so excuse me! I didnt get one Hep question, I got Heb C-B-A!!! b & c were SATA (got wrong looked ...

Im in NY. Results are in but I am not even going to buy them. I made peace with it. I really did. I know I failed because I looked up a lot of the questions I remembered and 1/2 were right and 1/2 wrong. Need to be above passing pretty good for it to...

I will say congrats to you! I would not recommend hurst, please see my prior thread about my experience. I took my exam today, if I failed, ncsbn, is where I may turn to next....I don't know, I really don't!!!!!

Just took the exam. Shut off again at 85. I think I failed, I really do. had about 20-25 SATA (3-4 in a row once), 3 exhibit ones. 1 math. few UAP questions, couple 1st, priority, would you see 1st. I hit next on 85 and went off....Man, I don't feel...

Update: Just finished Q-bank. Ended up at 64% cumulative. I am hoping I know enough now to pass the boards 2 weeks from today. If I retake the Q-bank I will update my new results, I would assume I would be in the 80's or better...... Any questions, a...

Update: Sunday night, Im at 94% through Qbank and my scores are at 63%. I plan on finishing tomorrow and hopefully I will at least stay where I am or maybe even increase a little more... Test is 2 weeks from tomorrow. Update tomorrow. Night all...

Quick update: 81% of the way done, this is my 1st time and I am at 59%. I am hoping I can get into the 60's. I am planning on being done sunday at the latest. I think after that I may have them reset the Qbank and retake the test and hope I score int...

11/11/14 update: Well, I finished all the vids except the pharm ones. I am going to do them on my own. When I took the Nclex I had 3 questions on Pharm. Not going to get too crazy with all the pharm stuff. Anyways, 3/4 done with the book and making n...

Quick update. Took about 6 tests, 25 questions each. Lowest was a 52, highest was a 72, few were 60's, so I am improving! Kaplan videos follow along with their book. They tell you the high points and areas to know. I watch the vids and highlight the ...

Update: Watched Kaplan vids and they went hand in hand with their book but seemed to only hit the high points (or im hoping). For example: TB. In the book they have like 10 S/S's. In the vids and their powerpoint, they listed like 6. I assume the top...

I will check out them vids, look interesting!

Yup, I have watched some vids and then the next vid hes like, in my last video I made a mistake! I agree, should be a little more organized and make new videos for sure! But so far, so good!

I pay 39.95/month, cancel anytime. Hurst was 250 upfront....I had to have credit card company chargeback hurst because they never responded to anything from me....See my other thread about it....

100000000% better. I am a visual learner and Mike at SN breaks stuff down into simple terms. Again, I dont know IF the info he gives digs down into what is needed for the NCLEX. One example I know he did for sure was for Parkinsons. He had a video o...

Updates: Went on vacation for 8 days, never studied. I know, it's ******* terrible!!!! Tough though, had the trip planned since June, not much I could do. Brought my books and everything, just never got around to it... I did take one test down on vac...

Quick update: Bit the bullet and joined simple nursing for 39.95/month, cancel anytime, no strings attached. Cant say I have ever seen a better site for content if you're a visual learner like myself. Kaplan is amazing for breaking down the question ...

Update for 9/25 Bad scores. 52% on 1st and 36% on 2nd. Lacking in content. No way to sugar coat it. Questions were 90% on these last 2 tests about content and obviously I thought I knew more than I did. Going to dive into content and take a few days ...

Hey, Yes, you are supposed to watch the content videos and read the book. The book is very in depth and about 500 questions. The vids are probably about 12-14 hours in total. I do lack in content but overall my biggest problem was finding out what th...
