Took the NCLEX-RN today for the second time

[NurseMama2014]

The first time I took the test on June 6th I got 265 questions and it took 5 hours. I tried the PVT as soon as I got to my car and got the credit card screen.

I retook the test today after studying all summer with Kaplan online as well as whatever resources I could find online. The test turned off after 75 questions and just over an hour and a half. I tried the PVT when I got home and got the pop up that says "Our records indicate you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration cannot be made at this time" That's the good pop-up right?

I have been insanely stressed for months. I've been through every emotion from disappointed to flat out depressed. I definitely felt better about this exam than the last one. I felt better about the content and I was able to work through the questions with more confidence than last time. All I can say is practice questions questions questions.

Can u pls share ur kaplan scores ? Beside Kaplan qbanks what else did you use to prep? Congrats

[NurseMama2014]

Sure. I got 63 on the diagnostic exam.

QT1 - 54.67

QT2 - 62.67

QT3 - 55

QT4 - 63.33

QT5 - 56.67

QT6 - 62

QT7 - 60

Readiness exam 66.67

I did 88% of the qbank with an average of 62% correct. I also found a website with great EKG practice as well as lung sounds. EKG Practice - Practice EKG Strips which I found helpful. I also used a study packet that a friend gave me that might have been the one a lot of people have mentioned on here...it was 30ish pages.

Thanks! I'm trying not to get too excited until I get official results but I felt much better this time than the first time. I definitely felt more prepared.

Not exactly about 90% accurate based upon the informal AN poll. There have been a few false positives and false negatives posted lately.
