Starting over! ;(

I graduated from the Philippines also, last 2009, i took NCLEX last week of Dec. I did Kaplan review and i would say, they are good. They are very good in prioritization and delegation. Study the rationale in every question, that will help you a lot. Good luck!

don't give up!!! you can do it!

if you have many questions of prioritization and delegation i recommend the book by lacharity called prioritization, delegation, and assignment i bought mine off of amazon. i failed my first time and am preparing for my second attempt here soon. i have been doing qbank questions and my theory is yes i think they do help alot. i have found in alot of books that the questions are mostly content based but kaplan has alot of critical thinking level questions. i know it is expensive and i think they charge too much so it is up to you. if you do decide to go with kaplan course the review of question videos have helped me a ton! i know they are lengthy but she really breaks down how to answer the questions and after watching so many the technique is engraved into my brain! if kaplan is not a choice, there is a kaplan strategies, practice, & review book that has some practice questions & cd to it that i would recommend. the other thing is since i only had access to the qbank questions i purchased the kaplan course book online through amazon too and it was only $11.99. this is the book that kaplan provides if you purchase the course. i read somewhere this book is a straight-to-the-point review of content essential to know. i should be receiving it in the mail any day now so i don't know how good it is yet. i bought saunders comprehensive review book and while it is very detailed, it is very lengthy and the review questions are mostly application (content) type questions.

as for your question about the full refund, this is off the kaplan site, "

i hope this helps!! overall in my opinion if you are going to pay for the qbank i would spend around $100 more to get the kaplan on demand b/c then you can watch the content review videos and class questions, which i find helpful!

i haven't passed yet so hopefully it pays off!

can we become study buddy even though at net since we are all retakers? im planning to retake it this feb as soon as my att comes out.

Here is the link to free Qtrainer tests!

http://www.slideshare.net/thinkrn/kaplan-nclex-sample-exam-5

if it doesn't work then google 'Free Kaplan Qtrainer Tests" and you will find a link to the test.

On the link you will find all the other tests as well.

Just recently failed my nclex RN exam

I will never give up, this is the last test i need to become an RN finally, I graduated from the Philippines in 2008 and I paid already just to retake.

Can someone post stuff that helped them during their exam, i know i have test takers anxiety bad...

Another question I might be signing up for the Kaplan Qbank do you guys suggest this and is it guaranteed that I pass? What if i fail again will i get my money back can someone let me know??
