World for Nclex PN

[NurseLaura1978]

Hey everyone. I failed my first time taking the Nclex PN two weeks ago. Last week I purchased Uworld and my average overall (I added them all up this week) is a 44%. I know this is not good, but has anyone really passed with their average being that low? I understand I have 4 weeks until I can re-take and hopefully my average will go up. I have been writing rationales out, and focusing on the content, as well as what the question is asking. Trying to do everything right. I have been doing sets of 10, 15, and 30 questions to start. Then taking breaks, and I'll work up from there. is 44% terrible to start with?

Don focus on content. Focus on critical thinking and question answering.

Thanks Jen! I have been writing out all rationales. But it's too much to memorize right now... But my % has been 50, which I don't know if it's the best. Some tests my score is above or below average, but I'm a good medium.

My Uworld average was 53%. I could NOT get it higher than that. As my test date got closer, I got more stressed, wasn't sleeping well, etc and I dropped down to about 48%.

Now that Ive PASSED IN 85 QUESTIONS, my advice to you is to not worry about your percentage. I would take a lot of 5-10 question quizzes, miss a couple, and get a bad score. But, I did notice that I was testing above average on each test. So if you're going to look at something to gauge where you're at, I would suggest you just make sure that you're doing "better than everyone else."

Also, I noticed that I did worse if I was using the Uworld app on my phone & better if I was using my computer.

Thanks everyone! Yes, I am redoing the questions and my % is going up but I feel like that's b/c I obviously know the question. Congrats on passing :) So exciting. I test three week from today. Yes I've been doing like sets of 15-20 and taking breaks.
