4th attempt

[hopefulxx, BSN, RN]

So I posted a few weeks ago about how I received my cpr in the mail after my third time at the nclex-rn. I got all 265 questions and was near passing in every category.

I started studying again & rescheduled my exam for about 5 weeks from now, being that I had to wait 45 days before retaking it. I am going to do kaplan again (still have all the qbank and online lectures), I have purchased the Saunders 6e Q+A book and I just purchased the Remar review quick facts 2015 book as well as the Kaplan 300 medications you need to know book.

Just looking for any advice and/or study tips. I am not giving up and I am just so ready to pass this exam and start my life as an RN!! Thank you all

Hi! I am too going to take my nclex RN for the 4th time after my 45day probation period. What are you doing this time around differently? I am thinking about getting a tutor but it's very expensive. Have you gotten a tutor before? I'm so frustrated because I feel I know what the content of the question is but I guess I am answering the correct answer but not the "BEST" answer. Do you ever feel that way? Anyway, you're not alone in this. And we must believe and keep going!

Hi! Yes I'm so glad you posted this because at this point I do feel alone in this! This time around I made myself a study plan and I'm sticking to it everyday. I'm doing about 50-100 questions a day and then I go over each one and see why I got that answer wrong or right. For the stuff I am confused about, I am going through content and refreshing my mind. No, I have not got a tutor and personally, I don't plan on getting one. I have a few friends that are helping me out who are already RN's and it's getting a little easier having someone else explain something from their point of view and me explaining my rationale out loud. I always feel that way with the correct answer but not the best, but I'm learning to think "nclexy" as my professors used to say! Nclex has a certain way of asking questions. Just read through the question and ask yourself what is this question REALLY asking. Once you have the down pat I think the answer choices fit better. I hope this helps us both!! Good luck to you on your next exam, and feel free to message me if you have any questions while studying :)
