NCLEX-RN® Review: Keeping it Real! Simplified

Nclex-Rn Review : Keeping It Real Simpified by Sylvia Rayfield & Associates Inc (2013, Paperback)

Some are just not great at taking tests. I did write a post about resources for NCLEX Questions and test prep that may give you some new ideas for study materials. She is disciplined, organized,but gets a lot of anxiety over standardized tests. Well,we got the results back yesterday and she failed. She had a job all lined up a the most prestigious hospital in the country.

She is of course devastated, but picking up the pieces and trying to take the test again in 45 days.

Simplifying square roots

Unfortunately there is not one method that works best for one person. You may have better luck with cheat sheets, study guides, or even review guides. I have been unsuccessful with the RN nclex. I was never great in school, and just passed by the skin of my teeth. What can I do to help me prepare better?

I do practice tests. I have a 2 year old and work full time.

Ashton, there is not one method that works best for one person. I think people are paying too much attention to how many questions they are given.

Review of Sylvia Rayfield NCLEX Review – www.farmersmarketmusic.com

If you know how many questions you were given then chances are that you know what number you are on at each question and that can raise your nerves even more. Try not to focus or even look at the number of each question. I past 1st try in Oct but I could not even tell you how many questions I got, nor did I care. I used ATI and that was the only resource I used. Good luck to all.

I was in a rigorous program and believe that I have been prepared, but you never know. I am a fast test taker, but my attention span is short. I have been told to study questions a day, but it is hard for me to sit there and knock them out. It is also hard to stay focused on daily studying without having a test date in mind. Connor, thank you for your comment. I like both methods that you are using to study. Keep it as a more manageable amount per day so that you have a better chance of retaining what you actually learn.

Once you hit the passing mark the test will stop and you are done. I am 40 and i graduated Though i have 7 years experience in the academe i still have this fear in taking another nursing examination.

Upcoming Events

When you want to know how to pass the NCLEX you must first focus on what the important subject matter is and the mechanisms to get this information as quickly and easily as possible. I did write a post about resources for NCLEX Questions and test prep that may give you some new ideas for study materials. Where should I start? I studied and felt like I knew the material. More than 27 lecture topics are covered in video lessons ranging from about 30 minutes to more than an hour.

I have read some strategies and i could see this are applicable for new graduates of at least 3 years ago, mine is 21 years ago. Will i use the same technique? Thank you very much. Absolutely you can still use the same technique to study. It will have a lot of other options for study methods and prep.

Does anyone have any insight into best courses for international nurses? I am a recent grad from Denver, CO and our school provided the Hurst review during the last term which I found it to be great in terms of reviewing content.

No customer reviews

Thus far, all of my cohorts that have taken the exam have passed it. Thanks Ana, I booked into hurst and that has helped a lot. Still studying lots at the moment, just waiting to hear from Pearson vue. Everyone was thinking I passed because it shut down at 75 but when I received my exam results today I was in total shock.

I feel I was not given a fair chance to pass the exam as I hear other students who have taken questions and passed. I felt the computer should have given me an equal amount of questions as well to pass.

Review of Sylvia Rayfield NCLEX Review

But thinking today I know I need training on how to disect the questions and find an interactive course to attend whether online or in person. Can anyone recommend any that has a policy that if you fail they will offer free remediation or something of that nature? Some of these replies are before April I have followed the changes since I finished mine in May of I failed the first time at questions.

Either way, I picked up my big girl panties and did it again without wasting time on stress. Taking it a second time is MUCH more stressful because your self-esteem is hurt. Nursing school was the easiest thing I ever did……but the test shot down my pride and made me study more.

Please have faith in yourself….. I have seen others take this exam 4 and 5 times and pass the next time. You are meant to be a nurse…. Does this say that nursing school was the easiest thing you ever did?? That does not make sense?? Baffled by that comment! I have an undergrad in physical science and also in respiratory therapy, RRT. My entire point was to compare the breeze of nursing school and warn the 4.

Once I prepared with the understanding how the test actually works, I passed. I passed first try and test stopped at 75 questions. I took my exam in I took some time off, went back to school and now in grad school for FNP. Its crazy how fast time flies…. I just kept taking quiz after quiz. If I was in line at a grocery store or waiting anywhere… I would pull my phone out and do a few questions.

I wish you all much success. I had three different review books as well as all of my ATI material. The only one that I found useful was the Saunders review. It came with a disc with over questions that were broken down by systems. I only reviewed my weak areas endocrine and renal. I liked the Saunders because it gave me the rationale as to why the answer was correct or wrong and that allowed me to retain the information.

I finished my exam in less than a hour and the computer shut off at Is the Kaplan review worth it? Or should I opt to buy for just the Qbank instead? I took it for my LPN and done in 80 questions. I am taking for RN as well.

Review of Sylvia Rayfield NCLEX Review

Email them for coupon codes. I studied for 1 wk then went and take the test. I have taken Hurst, Kaplan, and 2 other local review courses. I dont know what to do anymore.

Yes, You DO Need to Study

Can anyone please help me? My sanity and bank account are beginning to run low due to this. Someone, anyone, please help me. Is it possible that you are psyching yourself out? I had to stop myself from doing that or else I know I would have failed. Do you experience anything like this when you test? My professors in Nursing school even told me that back then. I just cant figure out what i need to do to push me above that passing line.

Honestly, may sound crazy but I took a Xanax before I went in for mine!

I knew I had test anxiety and it really helped! I was hesitant at first coz I feel like not doing any review anymore.. I enrolled to her class and the rest is history. I passed my nclex couple of months ago.

Thelma — a kind of instructor who genuinely cares and guides her students all the way. Right now I feel so lost BC I failed it twice. Thinking back on when you have taken the test, what stands out at you as what you struggled with the most? Any particular types of questions? I was good at content but got bombed with the style of the question. I am almost SURE more than half of my test was the multiple answer style questions.

They got harder and harder toward the end and at , I did NOT pass. Just a thought………love to hear your opinion! I am habitually seeking people who have not passed so I can write words of encouragement. I completed LPN school in I failed my broads twice and I gave up. Does anyone know if I would hVe to take a refresher course or if I could test at any time? Thank you for your help. Thank you so much for this post!

I love the Saunders comprehensive review books, they have helped me a ton in school. Have faith in yourself and try not to stress. The worse thing you can do is psych yourself out going into the test. Study daily until the day before the test. On that day, do something fun and relax. Arrive at your test site early. I have failed 6 times. I honestly do not know what else to do. Please do not give up. You did not go through nursing school to be defeated by a test! Kayla, these words are encouraging to me too! Not giving up but not sure what to do?

Its frustrating but know you are not alone. This site has been really helpful to see what I need to work on! Good luck on your next test!! Never give up your dream! So many students psych themselves out when it comes to standardized tests. I took Kaplan twice, and an individual online tutor program twice. Am I a hopeless case? I studied and felt like I knew the material. I feel totally defeated. I feel the same way. I too have failed 5 times. SSo sorry to hear, me too took it 6 times and failed. I am using the Saunders test taking strategy, Lippincott etc.

The questions are similar to the NCLEX and it goes to level 8 which is I think actually harder than the real deal, but it helps with strategy and critical thinking. The test has been changed Several times. It was updated not long ago. If you are using outdated books or books from it may not benefit you. God be with you.

This is a great point. I try and update this post so that the current books are shown but it is always important to double check and make sure you have the most up to date book. I did Nclex RN and failed first attempt, I have been studying and trying to focus on areas I got below passing standard..

I am planning to take exam next month.. I really need your prayers. Ah you can do it! Get to Know Us. English Choose a language for shopping. Not Enabled Word Wise: Enabled Amazon Best Sellers Rank: Amazon Music Stream millions of songs. Amazon Advertising Find, attract, and engage customers.
