Hello to anyone who might read this today ! :) I took my first nclex about 45 days ago and failed at 265 questions..apparently being close to passing in all sections, which to anyone who also experienced that knows how frustrating it is. It would have almost been better to be below somewhere so I knew where to start! The first time around I used ATI mostly because that is what our school used..and some Qbank about 2 weeks out from my test. Apparently, it wasn't enough. Seeing that 'FAIL' on the quick results was probably the worst day of life thus far, it just felt so debilitating. Anyway, fast forward and I borrowed a friends Kaplan program and realised I needed a TON more content review than I thought initially. My Q bank scores have gone from low to may 57's to 68's and 73s, thankfully. I feel ATI's questions were too easy and didn't require a ton of critical thinking (I had a 90% chance of passing with ATI's prediction).
I have FOUR days until my next test and I am on this site alllll the time reading inspirational stories and how people remediated and it has been a huge huge help. So thank you :)
I WILL be writing again in 6 days to say I passed
