Hi! Sorry I haven't responded. My license number was posted on the 5th of May and received the actual card 2 days after. I've waited 1 month from the time I sent in my payment.

I attended Hurst live review and loved it! But mind you, I did not use Hurst alone. I also did Kaplan, PDA by LaCharity, Saunders, Lippincott alternate format questions and NCLEX 3500. I read Saunders, Kaplan book, Lippincott and LaCharity from cover to cover. Did 6,633 practice questions in the span of 2 months. I liked Hurst, but they only tackle the usual disorders (DM, Glumerulonephritis, CVA, etc.) You will have to do your own share of readings for in-depth discussion of other unusual diseases. Some people pass using Hurst and some don't. It all boils down to the person who will be taking the exam and how much knowledge that person has retained. I passed NCLEX-RN on the first try. Did Hurst help me pass nclex? Yes. But a lot of review materials helped me too.

Yeahhhh! Congratulations!!! í ½í±í ¼í¿¾í ½í±í ¼í¿¾í ½í±í ¼í¿¾í ½í±í ¼í¿¾í ½í±í ¼í¿¾

You can do it! Will pray for your success!! Before the exam, my husband drove me to the testing center. We arrived an hour earlier. Little did I know that he prepared a 20-item practice question that I can answer so my brain will be ready for the brutal exam. I didn't know that our friend who owned a nursing program advised him to do that. It worked actually! I passed with 113 questions on my first try. During the exam, once your computer asks you if you wanna take your break, please take your break. I only slept for 2 hrs before my exam so I advise you to rest well. Good luck!!!!!

Yes. I passed the first try with 113 questions. You can direct message me here so I can send you my notes.

I don't know if you'll see the picture that I posted. I made these calendar to see how I am progressing and also to see all the topics that I have already reviewed. You can also make one to track your review topics. I also wrote the rationales by systems. Like, I would always forgot the difference of high pressure and low pressure alarm in mech vent. I would just go to my written rationales under the Respiratory System. By doing that, it saved me a lot of time looking for it. ?

I used a lot of review materials. Kaplan, Saunders, Lippincott, PDA by LaCharity (I've read all these 4 books from cover to cover), NCLEX 3500, NCSBN and Hurst. I studied M-F for 2 months. I deactivated all my social media accounts and really focused on studying. I went out every weekend just to take a breather. I made notes from my review and would gladly send that to you if you want to.

I took NCLEX-RN on March 30 and passed with 113 questions. I, too, had a lot of review materials. Some people are good with only 1-2 resources. But not me. I know for myself that I need to have different review materials in order to pass the exam. I read 4 NCLEX related books cover-to-cover (Kaplan, Saunders, Lippincott alternate format and PDA by LaCharity). Also did practice questions in NCLEC 3500. I also attended Hurst Live review. All in all I did 6633 practice questions. I know it's a lot. But it really helped me in knowing my core content and test taking strategies. Oh and I studied for 2 months. I also got off on social media as it was only a distraction. I have notes that I can email you so you can review if you'd like.

I attended Hurst live class here in IL and loved it! At the end of the review, they have 6 sets of practice questions. Each set consists of 125 questions. They were harder than Saunders but easier than Kaplan. Their approach on how to tackle the different systems is really spot ob. But then again, they will only review for the well known diseases (e.g. DM, Glumerulonephritis, etc) so you must also do your share of studying other topics.

Good luck to the two of you! Will pray for your success! Don't forget to post your success stories when you receive your license!

I wish you the best tomorrow! Will pray for you!

Hi xuichloe! If you need my help, I would be glad to help you! Don't give up ok! NCLEX is really hard so don't beat yourself up.

Congratulations! Now time to take a breather and celebrate!

My QTrainer scores were: 1 - 73% 2 - 69% 3 - 70% 4 - 72% 5 - 71% 6 - 70% 7 - 69% I studied for 2 months with lots of review materials. I read Saunders, Kaplan book, Lippincott Alternate format questions book and PDA by LaCharity from cover to cover. I attended Hurst live review and did all their 6 practice questions. I also answered ALL practice exams in Saunders CD. Answered all the practice questions about body systems in NCLEX 3500. All in all, I did 6,633 practice questions. Passed on my first try. Based on your Kaplan's practice exam scores, I can see that you are doing great. If you need any help, you can message me or anyone here. Good luck kabayan! :)

Hey! I'm from the PI as well! Your qtrainer scores look good! When I took it, my highest was only 73 and lowest was 69. Good luck on your exam! Will pray for you!
