Hello I'm kind of new to this forum but I've read a lot of awesome stories from people that have failed the first time and pass the second time. I recently graduated LPN school in March 2013 and attempted my first test and was very disappointed. I feel more focused now that I've taken the steps to prepare for my second time around. I have faith in God and know this time I will be successful. I just wanted to know if Saunders Nclex Pn 5th edition, Kaplan Nclex Pn, and Exam Cram were some of the studyguides and material some people used to pass their test. So far I've scored a 97 on the pretest for Saunders and Im continually getting 72-75 on the exam cram, the Kaplan I used more to know how to break the questions down: Any feedback is appreciated. I'm really motivated to pass the test.

I haven't finished nursing school yet (graduate august 16th of this year) BUT, I have talked to a lot of the formal graduates from my school and they all said that the only book that they used to help them pass NCLEX was the Saunders PN NCLEX book. They al took the assessment part to tell them where they were strong and weak at, it develops a 30 study plan for them, and that helped them out a lot. I heard Saunders is one of the best books for NCLEX to use.
Don't loose faith it is going to be okay just take time to relax its just a part of the process. I too didn't know where to start so I got some advice from one of my instructor she told that it was just nerves because I received all 205 and all parts on Cqr where near the passing level and 1 above the passing level. I then made up in my mind to reapply to the board of nursing and pearson vue. The process was fast and now I am only weeks away from my future. Always have faith and trust In God and yourself!
Thank you so much for the advice I really like saunders and I seem to be doing really well on it, so hopefully it will pay off in a couple of weeks!
