I tried that but still it was taking me longer than I wanted to start getting When I called, one of NCLEX 10,000 Customer Service Rep's advised me if I wanted to "move up the levels quickly" to do OK.so just start me out at level 8 and see if I'm successful. so just start me out at level 4 at least and see if I'm successful. I was told not to attempt the NCLEX til I was at level 4 and at level 8 it was 94% chance of passing the NCLEX.
Then as you continue, it graduates you to a higher level. It starts you at level 1 which felt like I was doing the simplest questions ever. It was NOT like the NCLEX that started you out at a "normal" level and then decide if you pass or fail. While it is "CAT=computer adaptive testing". it must be a competitor to Kaplan, Feuer, or other "NCLEX prep programs" because You can "use it for less time" (3 months? 6 months? I forget exactly) and pay less. I think I opted for the "use it for a year" for $100. just cuz you fail nursing school, you cant go to another nursing school to to see how they teach. ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU CAN LAY YOUR HANDS ON.All the content will be the SAME. Thirdly, I am tired of sitting in this chair and studying all day, checking BON to see how many of my classmates pass, which is 90%.Īll i can say, stop spending money, think, think, THINK, what can i do better. the same questions you see on nclex 3500, and the same you see on nclex 4000. Secondly, there is no website that has the CAT practice, they all have questions. I am totally convinced that the God i serve will surely see me through. I will be retaking my nclex for the 2nd and last time in JN in march. Example, the inventor of light bulbs, how many times did he failed, and today we have lights. Failing is depression, but it actually keeps you stronger, motivated, and having faith that no matter what, I am going to make it. My thing is everyone is individual, what works for one, might not works for another. I could publish a book called NCLEX, GUARANTEED TO PASS, and hired people to review on the book. most of these companies just want to make money. My thing, you can buy all of the NCLEX resources in this world, and still fail. There is too MANY NCLEX resources that people are claiming it helps them pass, while some are saying, is worthless, some are saying it is just like the nclex exam, blah blah. However, in my opinion it's not a big issue as it is their product that many have found success with.) But be ware that you may receive contact from Kaplan as a result of using their free resources. Most are online seminars & practice tests.

If you have good test taking strategies (these can be learned/developed by utilizing the right resources for your needs.learn to figure out what the question is actually asking and how to figure out the best answer from the choices) and strong content (basic material and concepts that are minimum competency for a nurse that you should have built up during nursing school) you will have the tools to be successful. The preparatory programs will not adjust the questions based upon your response to the previous questions like the formal NCLEX will. (NCSBN Learning Extension.NCSBN are the creators of the NCLEX).Īs far as a "mock" NCLEX exam that has the computerized adaptive testing, the CAT system is rather complex so the best you are going to find is sample questions. Price varies based upon the length of time you access the course. NCSBN offers a review with sample questions. You can sign up for KAPLAN and get one of their free assessment tests for free.
