Thought I should share my expierence, I passsed on my 4th attempt with that dreaded test. Only reason I passed was not based on the number of questions i did during my studies, nor the amount of content I read. It was basically the least amount of content in which I understood and know without hesitation. This is the concept Hurst Review provides. Its basically general concepts of the the NCLEX that will allow you to answer the questions in the Test without literally reading over your med-surg book. Its a short book....like literally short book. I highly recommended Hurst. There are no tricks in which Kaplan suggest to this test. I have met numerous individuals that those who have taken kaplan have failed by utilizing the tricks provided by them. When you take the test, your mind set must be geared to being a "new nurse" with 2 years of vast nursing knowledge only. NCLEX is a safety test that does not require you to know everything, so dont study everything. Its exhausting. (trust me, i tried) Plenty of rest, plenty of rest. Exercise the day before the test. If your married, have plenty of sex. I am not kidding. These tips helped me passed on my 4th attempt thinking this way. For example: if a questions asks you to clarify a medication, I honestly chose the ones I have never seen before. Because chances are, no one has either. If you dont know the answer to a questions and there are action based selections and you see an option to call the doctor, by all means call the doctor. (I know certain schools have taught you to deviate from this option). But NCLEX wants you to be better to be safe than sorry before you do something that can kill a patient. The NCLEX is a safety test. That is all. Its designed to protect the public. You will do fine if you have the right mind set. Good luck to you and i Hope this helps.

I took my NCLEX-RN 4 times. Just when I thought 3rd time's the charm, nope it wasn't. I took the liberty to pay for a review course. I took Hurst review. And boy was it a game changer in the way I studied. Main tips to remember when taking the dreaded test, "you are a brand new nurse" with only 2 years of vast nursing knowledge. The test isnt designed to see if you know everything, no one knows everything. Its a "safety test". Its basically a test to see if you will or will not kill anybody. The first 3 attempts I did was when I had the mind set that I needed to know as much as I can and memorize everything as much as I can. It was a big mistake. Mind set needs to be changed geared into thinking, you are "new" and to see what a new nurse would do. For example, If you see a medication you havent seen, and the question asks which you should clarify, I honestly selected the ones I have never seen, because as a new nurse, I would clarify it. But Hurst does more than that. I highly recommend Hurst review if you are struggling for it helped me a lot. I passed with my 4th attempt at around 190ish questions. A lot of SATA. Good luck to you all that are struggling. Hope this helps.

No such thing as quick results. Do the pearson vue trick. Attempt to register for the test again thru pearson vue. (With a valid card, otherwise it wont work). If pearson vue takes your money, then you failed. If if wont let you, that means you passed. This trick can only be done after 24 hours after you finished your exam. Hope this helps. Good luck.
