I just checked Pearson-Vue and it says I PASSED!!!!!! They can't be wrong can they???? I cannot tell everyone how relieved I am and how thankful I am to all of you for your support and encouragement. Without you the past few months I don't think I could have made it through.

Words to people who are testing in the future....IF I CAN PASS, SO CAN YOU!!!!! I can't believe I will NEVER have to look at those NCLEX books again!! I have to change my username :) :nurse:

I forgot, what was your test strategy? What advise was the most helpful? Did you use Saunder's, how many questions did you do?

Thank you!!! Yes, next it will be you!! As most are aware, this was my second attempt at the NCLEX, I failed the first time in July with 75 questions and passed this time again with 75 questions.

I retook Kaplan again since there was the money back guarantee. They don't actually give you money back but they give you the course again free. Although they are the same questions, I was lucky that my memory is so poor that I did not remember the great majority of them. I did every single question trainer and 100% of the qbank in addition to listening to the question video lectures and most of the content video lectures.

I also used Saunders this time to brush up on content. I felt that I was lacking some basic nursing knowledge after taking the test the first time around. I used Saunder's CD and probably did atleast 2000+ questions. I also followed Suzanne's first tip but did not have enough time until I tested to get the remainder of her plan although I would highly recommend it if you have the time. I also did NCLEX 3500 that you can find online and is free to use. I found those questions helpful.

It is impossible to know every topic...in fact at least with my test, most topics that Kaplan said to focus on were not on my particular test. NCLEX seems to like to focus on the obscure. Most importantly.....NO ONE ever comes out of that test feeling like they passed...NO ONE! YOU will think you failed and failed miserably. That is the nature of the beast...expect it so you won't be so blown away by it when you leave the testing center.

I wish everyone the best of luck when their testing date approaches. This website has been life saving to me. The people are genuinely concerned and care about how you are feeling and are quick to provide encouragement and support. Take advantage of this wonderful resource. I am so glad that I found this website a few years ago. It helped me through school as well as when I was looking for a job and then with taking the nclex.

Good luck to all and remember....IF I PASSED, YOU CAN TOO!! :yeah:
