$500+ seems like too much money to spend for me. I'm SO happy for you, though. You are strong to be so persistent and not give up after 7 times having graduated years ago. That by itself is amazing. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your suggestion, I'll keep it in mind, but it's definitely too expensive for me at the moment. CONGRATS on passing in 75 questions!!!!

I'll be doing the Remar Review along with Kaplan Q bank. My best friend failed the first time as well and swears by this. I'll probably be doing LaCharity sometime in between as well. I studied in Puerto Rico. Have you scheduled a test date?

Thank you for that. When I made this thread I think I was seeking encouragement and kind words, your post helps me feel better knowing I'm not alone. Most of my friends in my same program failed the first time and passed the second. I'm combining Hurst and Remar this time and following in the steps that my best friend from nursing school took and she passed the test on the 17th. I've heard enough about UWorld to go check it out. This time I have no money for Kaplan, so I'll make due and buy Saunders as well. I just felt like every time I got a SATA question it meant that I was in the higher level... But I guess not. And I felt like I was lost for every question, that they were vague and undetailed like Kaplan's. I think a part of it was taking this test so early in the morning. Usually I am at my best after a day of reviewing, and at nighttime is when I took my practice tests. I think that not being used to being awake and analyzing so early was a bigger disadvantage than I thought it would be. It also gave me a false sense of security when it came to my true test scores on my question trainers. I'll be retaking it in mid October... I'm still grieving since not passing this test means a lot of things in my life won't work out the way I wanted them to. I want to start studying again on Sunday or Monday. I know I'll get this. That thought helps me a lot. Thank you

My quick results say I failed... in 75 questions.

I'm an international student, graduated a year ago, took forever to get everything together for my BON application, finally took the NCLEX 2 days ago (August 19th). The exam shut off after 75 questions. I felt happy at first because I was out early, but then the feeling of failure crept over me and remembering my answers and the types of questions I was getting I KNEW I failed. I got a few SATA questions and very few medication questions and I'm sure I answered those all incorrectly. A lot of it was teaching for me and delegation too, which I guess the teaching are lower level questions... I kept on thinking "is this a high level or a low level question?" on every question. I went in confidently and really thought I could pass, but I had no clue about anything in any of the questions and I felt like they were all somewhat vague. Does the fact that I only went through 75 q mean that I had no chance to pass? Did I really do that badly? I used Kaplan, Hurst, and the NCLEX Mastery App. I guess I just didn't apply myself hard enough. I know I can do better. I know I'll take it again and pass. I know it is something achievable, but only 75 questions feels like the NCLEX told me "don't bother with more questions past this point, you already failed". Edit: I failed. The quick results came up and my status is "Fail".
