What are your views about Remar review??

Published

This time I did Remar review for 1 and 1/2 months and appeared the NCLEX-RN exam. I got my official letter and most of them says "below the passing level". Before this my results were all near the passing except one (did Saunder's Comprehensive Review). I felt like I did even worst after doing Remar review. Now, I feel like none of the review is really helping me to pass. Do you guys think that I should do Remar review all over again??

I'm also doing Remar Review. I'm getting nervous now.

If you using remar make sure use another source to practice practice questions cuz I only did remar review and not much question.

My opinion about ANY review program is that it's good for helping you refresh knowledge, teaching test skills and giving you plenty of questions to practice on...but if you don't already know the basics of nursing, it's not going to help much. I've never failed so I don't know what they send you, but if they send you a breakdown of how you performed, look at that to see where your weaknesses are. Then you know what info you need to bone up on.

If you failed with Remar, it's up to you if you want to try it again. Personally, I'd try another one.

And I agree with the posters who suggested to also do review questions from other sources as well (Saunders, Kaplan, etc.). When I was studying for the NCLEX, I checked out several different review books from the library and answered all the questions that I could.

Sorry, hugs to you! Although i took the nclex pn i didnt use Remar, i used saunders, exam cram & signed up for the 3 week ncsbn course oh & nclex 3000 & read the study guide that can be found on this site. To me & this is my opinion the nclex was like the exam cram, nclex 3000 & ncsbn questions. I thought they were gonna be like saunders & BOY WAS I WRONG! With the ncsbn course there is a 150 question pretest that will tell you what areas you are below passing or passing in & then you go from there. I did the 3 week for $50 course. If im not mistaken, ncsbn people are the ones who write for the nclex. Just take your time, you will be sucessful! You made it through school & i know you will make it thru the boards

Oh & if you can try to do 100-150 questions a day, the more questions you do the better.
