Three attempts and no success

Have you reviewed your candidate performance report to see what areas are your weaknesses and what areas are your strengths? What about having taken a review course? If you don't change the way you've been studying, why would you expect different results? Develop a plan, get the assistance you need, and go from there.

Yes i have reviewed my weaknesses and i did the Hurst review online . each time i study i study with different material and in a differemt way. Nothing seems to be helping. The questions are the problem. They trick me into thinking they are asking for one type of answer when really it's another

I would recommend taking the Hurst Review in person or trying another nclex review class in person. So much more beneficial than online. I don't think I would have passed with out takin. The in person class

i wanted to take it in person but i live in a small town so taking that course in person isn't an option :dead: the online course wasn't bad though. I feel like i know enough of the material it's just applying it to the questions is where i get messed up.

If you can travel to take it do! The problem you are having is exactly what they help you with in the class. You may benefit from the Kaplan review, they focus more on answering the questions where as the hurst review focuses more on content.

My friend and I traveled across state lines to attend a live classroom-based four-day Hurst Review in 2010. Taking the course in person is an option if you want to pass NCLEX badly enough.

I never took an in person course because live in the U.S. Virgin Islands and didn't have the financial means to up and travel. What I did however was focus on my weak points from my candidate performance. I also took remar review. The instructor comes

on live once per week and you also have access to email her whenever you choose. What works for everybody else may not necessarily work for you. Do what you feel is best for you. I will be praying for you. Good luck and best wishes

That's the thing hun.. it's not tricking you. Its just doing what it was designed to do. Nclex is a test of your critical thinking skills. If you feel like the questions are tricking you then what you need to practice on is your critical thinking and a good way to do that is to tackle sample questions. We all went to school so we already have the data, its just a matter of getting the hang of how to use that data and how you should be thinking in correlation to the problem presented in front of you.

Some free resources include all of Mike Linares YouTube videos and David Woodruff's videos. The latter is the editor of critical care made incredibly easy. Mike Linares has a website too and it is Simple Nursing, but you have to pay for a membership as I recall.
