Official results say I was "Near the passing standard" but I had to take the whole 265 questions. I have taken my first exam last august (2014) and failed. HELP!!!! I am taking the NCLEX- RN this January 9th of 2015!!!! So I am very relaxed now because I have overcame this hard part of nursing career. In my second try,after answering 76 questions computer turned off and that's when i knew that i have passed the test. I was waiting 2.5 month for Nursing board of CA to give me permission for exam and then Pearson V. Then I completed the Mosby's Review questions for the NCLEX- RN and Kaplan test 2013 book and CD and 5th edition official study guide for the CGFNS qualifying exam 1000 tests and again I practiced some of my Kap Q-B that I had saved.I also wrote the point about any wrong answers and reviewed them too.That was a lot and took my time for 8 months. I spent several days off from my nursing subjects and then reviewed the Saunders content and practiced all the questions after each and every chapter. However, that was not enough for me and after answering almost 264 question and 6 hours staying on 100% stress pressure I did not pass.I felt desperate and depressed. On my first try Nov 2013, I did was not finished studying the whole nursing content and I was told to practice more tests and the kaplan Q-Bank test. I completely agree with you about how the content is very important. Thank you so much for the encouragement!Īs an international nurse, I have passed the NCLEX- RN in my seond trial. I did well in nursing school and my ATI comprehensive predictor gave me a 96% of passing the first time, and while I think Kaplan is helping it is also messing with my head!! Everytime I do poorly on qbank quiz I start freaking out. To the OP.Thank you so much for posting this!! I got a 66% on diagnostic, Q1 67% Q2 61% Q3 56% and a 67% on the readiness test.I haven't taken the rest of the Q trainers yet.and my average for the Qbank is 64% and I am freaking out. I don't think the OP is in any way giving false hope. I know people who did this and failed, and people who reviewed content and failed. When you review the rationales for why you got a question wrong, you are reviewing content, but you can't review everything you learned in the past 2-4 years in 2-3 months.And it very much depends on the individual.I know people who only did questions with no content review and passed just fine. I don't see how the OP is giving false hope.What they are saying is that you can't review EVERY single thing you learned in nursing school. Obviously doing questions alone for the MOST part, will not make you pass nclex once. The first time i took the nclex, all i did was kaplan questions, because i was told i dont need to read content.ofcourse I fialed the exam, with near passing. Doing questions without knowing content is POINTLESS and will not help you pass. Please dont give such false advices!!! how could you say DONT study content? just cause you went thru nursing school doesnt mean you remember every information or understand how nclex works. Best of luck studying and I hope my scores put someone else at ease like the other posts helped me. If you don't look at rationale nothing will stick and it will be a waste of time. Review the sections you did really poorly on then use the Qbank to review by doing questions and looking at rationale. You know what you know from nursing school. People who passed kept telling me "don't even study anymore".

Plus, they make the test so I felt I couldn't go wrong.Īnd for the moment you all have been reading for. They also give you rationales a bit better than, "Not applicaple" or "Priority, but not as high as #3".

The content was much more to the point and the questions made me feel better than Kaplan- I wasn't getting 55% and flipping out. I got so frustrated with Kaplans content section I actually purchased a 5 week NCSBN review ($55). When I first started studying I was going through content, content, content.
