I passed my 4th Nclex at 85 questions last week and have already received my license in the mail.

I graduated in 2015 and too much on my plate and failed with 265 questions. Studying on and off while working as a LPN in long term care, I took it again in 2017, all 265 questions again. Tried for a third time in 2019 and all 265 again. Then COVID hit and the thought of studying stopped and life got busy.

While I've been recovering from a work injury this last year I have been studying with books from the library, Hurst review for my approved refresher course, then U world. U world was a fantastic resource with their lectures. They are short and to the point with up to date information.

If I would do things again I would get Uworld first for the lectures, then the cheapest Hurst review for the refresher course.

I had to drive 4 hours out to this testing center, just got here in town and am waiting for my testing time. Pic is from last week I didn't take an updated picture before leaving this morning but hopefully everything will go well!!

Hi! I just wanted to provide motivation to anyone who is in the same predicament as I was. I had my first attempt 08/27 with 85Q and failed. I had my final attempt 10/14 with 150Q and 3 case studies I believe. I used Bootcamp reaching my target score of 62%, 100% Quiz-bank usage and 3/4 high scores on the readiness exam. I received the “good pop-up” on Pearson and then my permanent license number in <24HR after taking the exam. Thank you guys for the motivation and kind words given when I was at my lowest!

Let’s start with the good news! I took my exam yesterday, and it shut down at 85 questions. I was so happy but also a little scared.

This morning at 8 AM, I received an email saying, “Congratulations, you passed!” along with my license number. I cried, I laughed, and I honestly can’t put the feeling into words.

I finished nursing school in NYC in July 2025, but my husband and I decided to travel around the country to find our forever home before I took the NCLEX.

Once we settled down, I spent three months studying with Archer. I watched all the videos, attended the Zoom classes, and completed all the available questions. Unfortunately, I failed my first attempt.

I requested a refund through Archer’s Sure PASS Guarantee, but they denied it, claiming their system showed I hadn’t watched all the videos, even though I had.

After that experience, I switched to Mark Klimek’s review videos on YouTube, Bootcamp, and UWorld. I studied for another two months, and yesterday, I finally passed on my second attempt with 85 questions!

In my personal experience, Klimek, Bootcamp, and UWorld prepared me better for the style of questions on the actual NCLEX.

I know everyone’s experience is different, but I wanted to share what worked for me. If you failed your first attempt, don’t give up! Change your strategy if you need to and keep going. You’ve got this! And AVOID ARCHER!

I used to see people doing 150 questions a day or getting high readiness scores and wonder if I was doing enough lol. Eventually I focused on my weak areas, reviewing rationales, and practicing NGN instead of copying everyone else's routine.

For those studying now, do you follow a set schedule or adjust based on what you need to work on?

I took it about 6 hours ago and I'm sweating bullets, this is good right??

Need an NCLEX RN tutor for help. Located in Orange County California but willing to do online calls as well.

Hi, I took the nclex last October 14, talagang kinakabahan ako so nalaman ko yung CPR trick daw. I tried to email NYSED and this was their response? What does it mean?

Talagang di ko maiprocess kasi baka naman maging biased ako sa interpretation. Thank you. 🤧🫶

Pls help me choose my nclex review center, i want someone who will guide me through out my nclex journey. I already enrolled in TRA for my PNLE. I don’t mind the budget, as a nclex psser whats best review center?

Hello, so my school provided me with Kaplan to prepare for the NCLEX. My test is in a week and I have been hitting the qbank everyday but I want to share my data. I came in the red on CAT1 and CAT3 both tests went to 150. CAT3 said I was near in all categories except 1, CAT1 said I was near in all categories except 2. Im intentionally holding onto CAT2 until this weekend because I test in a week. My scores have normally been in the 60's despite one Sample Test being a 47 because I took like 3 Sample Tests in a row that day and I was likely just burnt out. Sometimes I dip into the high 50's. I've had a qbank as high as 77% which I was super proud of. I still plan on continuing to do qbank questions but I just wanted to share my info and get other peoples insight. Thanks so much!

I was ask to retake the nclex again,because I did not return the sealed bag that has my phone in it after the exam,has anyone experienced something like this before,I have multiple friends that said they did not return their bag neither,after the test I went straight into my car,they said I should have returned the bag so they can open it themselves.

Hello! I kept on calling their US line but Indians keeps on answering my call. They also asked me about my card number and details. Did you guys have a similar experience? Please help me :(
