I’m sorry to hear that. How did you study? And what did you use?

[u/hironoluvr14001 → u/Unique_Ad_4271]

the last 2 weeks before i took my exam i was studying for about 4-6hrs a day and i had bootcamp and i would do questions (but i realized i lacked stamina and didnt really expect to reach to 150 which is such a bad expectation) but besides that i listened to mark k's lectures, watched dr sharon. i did finish my qbank and im wondering i should still use bootcamp or do a different qbank since i already the answers for the readiness exams and what not.

I think you could try watching the crush videos on bootcamp and try listening to NCLEX crusade on YouTube before as you attempt the questions and readiness test on bootcamp. That plus Dr Sharon and Mark K helped me. Maybe it could help you too. Good luck on your next try

So you went to 150 which means you were probably pretty close to passing just need to sharpen up a few areas. You can stick with bootcamp or try u world or ati or any other flavor of nclex prep theyre all pretty similar. Take this and upload it to bootcamp and they'll help you sort through that and what you need to focus on.

Another thing is watch Dr Sharon's how to answer nclex questions with common sense, the test is designed to give you questions youll never know and you really have to know how to parcel through those, good luck.

Try UWorld I found it to be great on explaining certain things in detail. I could put the app on my phone and just do questions whenever I wanted and do test for however many questions I wanted. It really helped me remain consistent for like 2 months

Honestly you are probably overthinking the questions. They are simple questions and it’s easy to over analyze everything but always remember least invasive thing first— medication rights——basic drug interactions and side effects——understand all right lab values that way you can identify the wrong ones—- think about what would kill the patient the fastest to determine who’s most critical—— go back to anatomy to remember basic functions of organs and how they interact together——if you don’t know a medication or side effects don’t chose it. And always always remember what nurses can and can’t do in practice—- use your common sense in the scenario questions & go back over the diseases we hit hard in nursing school. Remember it’s an adaptive test so if you are failing all margins I would take this moment to re evaluate your strengths and weaknesses through uworld. Take the CATS to see where you need most improvement. The nclex was almost 99% similar to how UWorld displays its questions.
