You are tough as nails congrats:up:

Kaplan was good I did both the online class and after I failed the first time I did the in class class. There formula helps you slow down and analyze every question but they are expensive. Not enough SATA questions or really a good strategy to answer them. They are similar to the nclex though and are really good if you have a grasp of the content. i was trying uworld and they have much better explanations with a lot more information.

I heard that Hurst is really good with content I'd it just the book or do I take a class. Is there a 2015 version of the book I can't seem to find one.

@nurse826 could I have more information on the eight week ncsbn learning extension. i took the exam twice and both times went 265 questions. What I need to make me successful is to memorize content. All the things they where asking me about where familiar to me but I did not have enough detail on each thing to make a correct critical thinking decision. For example I knew about ABG and lab value ranges but what would I do to correct anything that was outh of range. That is what my downfall was maybe that will help you know what to study.

I was hoping to have more information on the local refresher course for nursing that you attended.

Hello, I went 265 questions both times (first attempt November 2015 last attempt two weeks ago) and while I improved on my second try it wasn't enough. I used Kaplan both times and scored ok on the tests and exhausted all the questions. While they are good on questions they lack teaching content. I got the Kaplan book but it seems very vague to me. what I really need help with is content, when I took the nclex the second time I didn't recognize any of the drugs on the test. I was looking at exam cram or lipenkots (sorry for spelling) to get the content and was looking for a recomendation. For question practice I was going to do uworld or nclex mastery and could use a recomendation on this as well. I really want to pass this hurdle and become a nurse, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Max
