hi bigwebike! well i didnt make it the first time, stopped at 97 questions. and i knew that i failed because it was soo early, i did it like 8 am. and im not a morning person, secondly, i didnt do my best, didnt study well and i did the wrong review. im an international graduate btw. took it again the 46th day my advice is, get up, sacrifice.. i study 9am to 11pm. read the saunders cover to cover twice! that helped me tremendously and purchase kaplan q bank and answer everything and read the rationale and learn how to answer questions through kaplan. :) when i took my test, i knew every single thing because of kaplan and saunders. study well bigwebike. if i can, you can! :) practice makes perfect. and ofcourse pray :)

RNsRWe, maybe you didnt know how to do it right? haha you must put a wrong expiry date. and everyone who's reading this, PVT WORKS!! do it! just put a wrong expiry date or a card that has like $2 in it haha LOL

Fresh from the center. i did the PVT right after and 6 hours after still getting the good pop up. ended up with 75 questions. cant wait for the quick results!! :) i did saunders comprehensive and kaplan q bank only :) q bank average is 64% and also did Q trainers free online. :)

congrats!!! is kaplan helpful?

thank you kdoolay. so you mean i should know each and every topic? like memorize the signs and symptoms and interventions? its very hard for me especially in SATAs, i always miss one or i get another choice that is not included.

thank you organics! i just got my QT 6 score = 82.. i think the reason why i got 82 is because some questions are from the qbank which i already know the answer.. do you think i should go over content again? i may be getting good scores from passing level questions but im not sure with the "low" level questions.. and sata...

hi guys, my test is in a week. any advice? this is my second time taking the test my kaplan scores: kaplan qbank overall 64% correct. - i am going to re-do all of it this week i guess? QT 1 - 70 QT 2- 77 QT 3 - 69 QT 4- 70 QT 5- 70 QT 6 and 7 ill take 6 later then 7 tomorrow. sample test 1 - 52 sample test 2 - 56 sample test 3 - 77 sample test 4 - 36 NCSBN scores ranging from 60-80 and sometimes 40... any advice guys? ive been reading all the rationales, writing them down and transcribing it to my laptop... i dont want to fail nclex again i am so worried about SATA.

hi goodluck on your exam! ill be taking mine 2nd week of may. i graduated in the philippines last april 2014, so we're on the same batch :) we almost have the same scores.

hi kabayan, im taking my test for the second time this may. ive been reading rationales but im not sure if im doing any good. how did you study? just answer then read the rationale?

thanks for the advice comebackkid, did NCSBN help you alot?

Thanks kdoolay! I have been going over my content again. i hope reading content will help me on my next one.

Hi guys, im taking my NCLEX (again) on may 12. I took my first test last March 26. i really need your help guys. I dont want to fail again. anyway, the first time i took the NCLEX i reviewed kaplan on demand last year august to november thinking my ATT will be out on december. I know i made the wrong decision enrolling in kaplan before my ATT comes. so after kaplan i studied saunders Q&A, they have handful of easy questions i know, i get like 70-80% all the time which made me feel REALLY confident. Come march 7, 2015 my ATT was out and scheduled my exam 2 weeks after. I thought i passed with 98 questions, got 15 SATAS, 1 ekg, tons of conference and prioritizations. after 2 days i learned that i failed. so, i took a break for a weekand started studying again. i enrolled in NCSBN 5 wks, kaplan qbank only and started reading saunders 5th ed. I dont know if im going to pass again this time, i kept studying day and night NCSBN in the morning, saunders in the afternoon then kaplan at night. My scores in NCSBN are really bad like 50-60%. i know the NCSBN questions are wayyy harder. In kaplan qbank my lowest score is 63% and highest is 71%. I know that scores are not important, you just have to understand the rationales. i really dont feel confident. i get frustrated because of my scores in qbank and NCSBN. im taking my test in a few weeks please please give me advice. i know i should practice more but what else do I have to do? ive been tracking my weak areas, sometimes i get high like 100% in for example management of care, then the second test it will be 50% then the third one will be 80% its so confusing. i need help guys i really want to kill this NCLEX beast
