Retaking NCLEX

I'm so lost. I have read a lot of reviews on how to study/prepare for the NCLEX and I don't know where to start. I failed it the first time and I'm retaking the exam. But I just want some ideas, advices, etc on what to do the second time around. Help!

I did the 3 day hurst review in class course. I took the NCLEX 3 days after graduation and passed with 75 questions! I hope this helps and good luck to you!!!

I took the Kaplan course online. I believe Kaplan is why I passed my first try in 75 questions over a year and a half after graduating. They train your brain for NCLEX. They teach you exactly how to break down each question. I think if you follow their tree of thought, you're sure to pass. You must do a lot of practice questions. Do sets of them as if you were taking an actual exam. Become comfortable doing 200 questions at once to prepare yourself. Get relaxed but focused when you take practice tests (don't do it in front of the TV or with other distractions). Do you have any NCLEX apps? I would use apps for questions here and there (like waiting in line at the store, making food).

So...

Kaplan!

Lots of practice questions. READ THE RATIONALE! Even for correct answers.

Get good sleep the night before (or do your best to try to).

On the day of the exam: eat a good meal, don't overdo the caffeine, use the bathroom before you begin, wear layers in case you get hot.

Good luck!
