NCLEX is a professional licensing exam, not an academic exam. The biggest mistake I see repeat testers making is continually trying to “study” for NCLEX. In college, most nursing content needs to be memorized. You listened to lectures, read textbooks, took notes, crammed, and spit it all back on a test. And it got you through nursing school. NCLEX requires you to make the transition from student to professional.

What’s the difference? Critical thinking. The NCLEX tests your ability to make an educated guess based on the limited information given in a question. Can you do that?

And if you’re still trying to “study” for NCLEX, what are you studying? The entire content of nursing? That’s crazy when you think about it. You will never know all the content in the field of nursing, EVER. Why would anyone think you can learn all the content that can possibly come up on your exam by test day? Do you know how to make an educated guess when you don’t know the content?

Isn’t learning how to problem solve more of a priority than studying? Study Guides Are Useless The #1 search term for “NCLEX” according to Google Analytics, is “NCLEX Study Guide.” Everyone is searching for a guide that doesn’t exist. Study guides are cram sheets and test-taking tips. They might’ve helped in a pinch in nursing school but are worthless as prep tools for NCLEX. Here’s a tip: Stop wasting time “studying” where learning is delivered through lectures, reading, cramming, and testing.

Studying works for an upcoming academic test but how much of that information do you retain after the test? You can study for the rest of your life and repeat the exam over and over if you don’t have the required problem-solving skills for a professional licensing exam. What is the NCLEX testing?

What is the Content? There is one guide that clearly explains NCLEX content- what the NCLEX is testing you on- and that is the NCSBN Test Plan for PN and PN. Visit the to review the student guides. NCLEX tests application.

NCLEX tests if you can make a decision, if you can manage your emotions so you can think and use sound judgement. NCLEX tests “entry-level mental competency.” What skills does the National Board say are required to pass NCLEX? Problem-solving skills. It’s that simple. (From NCSBN) “Since the practice of nursing requires application of knowledge, skills and abilities, the majority of items are written at the application or higher levels of cognitive ability, which requires more complex thought processing. These questions require a candidate to utilize problem-solving skills in order to select the correct answer.” See this and more at Learn problem-solving skills so you can confidently apply your knowledge and make an educated guess when confronted with unknown content. It’s what the National Board tells you is required to pass a professional licensing exam.

Stop studying like it’s a nursing school exam. The NCLEX is a different beast altogether. A tester’s goal is to be able to comfortably make an educated guess in any given question scenario.

What kind of prep have you been doing? If you’re still listening to content lectures as much of nursing school curricula was delivered, you most likely will retain 5% of it. Do you prep at home with a stack of NCLEX Test Prep books from all the major publishers? All that time and money wasted for about a 10% Retention Rate. Maybe you’re watching a recorded lecture series from a content-based prep company or listening to audio lectures on-the-go? Good for about a 20% Retention Rate if you repeat them over and over and over and over. How is your learning currently delivered?

What forms of prep can you do to ensure top Content Retention Rates where the time you spend on prep allows you to retain at least 50-90% of what you learn?

Saw your name in uworld group and someone recommended you to me. I recently took my nclex rn exam, my 4th time which i thought im going to pass because my previous result was near passing, i used uworld and la charity for my 4th take, review class in my 3rd take. Im not really sure what is wrong with me taking the exam, i felt confident for my last take, i prayed hard, exercise before answering uworld but still did not pass.

Im rn in Philippines graduated 2006, took nclex 2x in 2007, after 10yrs i retake again june and nov. My friend sent me a link to your program this morning. I am a repeat test taker. I took the NCLEX on 8/1 having studied 8 weeks with UWorld, Kaplan (Test banks) and Hurst (content review). I felt SO overwhelmed when I took NCLEX, as I was ill-prepared for it. It took me all the way to 265 questions, and 2 days later, I found out I didn’t pass.

I was “near passing” on all subjects except “Mental Health” where I scored “above passing”, go figure, I have a Masters Degree in Social Work with an emphasis in Mental Health. I have been using Hurst review again, and I keep scoring 50-55% on all my quizzes and tests from Hurst.

Principles of banking 10th edition study guide. I am anticipating taking the NCLEX end of October 2017, but I am terrified that my overall percentage is 50% not high enough to walk into NCLEX again, but when I took it the first time my average was 48%. I write all this to ask, will your program help me learn to break down test questions?

Also in NOT 2nd guessing? I noticed when I review all my tests that my 2nd guessing is causing me to score way lower bc had I went with my gut I would be scoring 67-76%. It kills me because I don’t know what I am doing wrong.

exit exams, CAT RN/CAT PN exams, or just the NCLEX-RN, you have come to the right place. Dear Friend, On a beautiful sunny afternoon, this past year, a young woman was just starting to prepare for her NCLEX-RN exam. She had enjoyed nursing school and was looking forward to her future nursing career. In order to organize her studying efforts, she had assembled all of her nursing school textbooks, and was just about to begin reviewing them. Then she began to panic. It wasn't because of test anxiety - she had always been a good test taker.

It wasn't because she had struggled in nursing school - she had earned excellent grades. It wasn't because she didn't have any study materials - she had her textbooks neatly stacked and organized. The problem was her test was next week. She had a 4 foot stack of textbooks in front of her, some of which she hadn't touched in nearly a year. The NCLEX-RN could have questions about any of the information covered in any of those textbooks, and there wasn't much time left to prepare. Each passing second brought her closer to her upcoming test date. How to Solve the Problem Unfortunately, this hypothetical situation occurs all the time.

Have you ever wondered, as I have, if there is an easier way to prepare for your exam? It isn't by reading all of the textbooks on the subject. It isn't by spending weeks and months studying and preparing. The easier way is by finding a source of condensed study notes. And that is why I am writing to you about the NCLEX-RN exam. The NCLEX-RN isn't a simple practical exam where you regurgitate a technique. The NCLEX-RN is a rigorous written examination that can cover any of the thousands of topics and core competencies studied in nursing school.

While it is possible to reread every textbook, and relearn every fact, it's simpler to use a study guide that is focused on exactly the level of detail which will be covered on the NCLEX-RN. That is the whole purpose of the NCLEX-RN Secrets study guide: to give nursing students the detailed information they need to study in order to succeed on the NCLEX-RN. An NCLEX-RN Review Book Unlike Any Other If you'd like to get the NCLEX-RN result you deserve, to quit worrying about the NCLEX-RN, and to beat the test taking game so you can become a Registered Nurse (RN), then this might be the most important message you read this year. Our comprehensive study guide for the NCLEX-RN Examination is written by our test experts, who painstakingly researched the topics and the concepts that you need to know to do your best on the NCLEX-RN. Our original research into the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN), offered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), reveals the specific content areas and the essential skills that are critical for you to know on the NCLEX-RN.

We've taken the information and developed a study guide that is guaranteed to help you be successful on the NCLEX-RN. Regardless of whether you are taking the NCLEX-RN, you have come to the right place. Here you will find everything you need to know in order to be successful and get your certification. Now, we know you may be skeptical, so let us give you three good reasons we can back up what we claim: The Three Reasons To Believe What We Say The First Reason: Our company's name is Mometrix Test Preparation, and we have a team of standardized test researchers who have worked on developing our study guide for the NCLEX-RN. The standards for who gets to work on the team are very strict- we demand the best for our customers, and only those who met our exacting standards made the cut.

The dedicated research staff have years of combined experience in mastering the content and skills necessary to succeed on the toughest exams. The Second Reason: Some academic studies have revealed that test takers do not really benefit from the traditional test preparation process. But we knew there had to be a solution- if test takers were not doing well on the NCLEX-RN despite high intelligence, there had to be a set of secret keys to the test that would open the door of success for these test takers.

We believe we have succeeded in finding the secret keys of the exam. What we found was surprising, and in some cases ridiculously simple once explained to the average test taker.

We put the findings together in a thorough, concise study guide that we believe allows any test taker, at any skill level, to improve his or her results dramatically with a minimum of effort. The Third Reason: We created the product in part because we were frustrated by the options available to test takers who really wanted to do well on the NCLEX-RN.

A common approach is to TEACH the material, instead of TEACHING THE TEST. That's not necessarily good enough for the NCLEX-RN- you have to know how to apply the knowledge.

Most test takers already have a general knowledge of the material that will be covered on the exam. One reason some test takers do well on the day of the test is that they have made the critical connection between the material they learned and how to use the material to succeed on the NCLEX-RN. Our guide addresses the difference between merely knowing the material and knowing how to use the material to perform on test day. You're going to save time, money, and aggravation.

You'll learn to avoid the mistakes and the bad strategies that you've been vulnerable to. Just for starters, here are some ways our product can help your NCLEX-RN result. The Exclusive Test Taking Techniques. Keys to questions that 'give away' the wrong (or right) answers- You get credit for some of the questions without really even knowing anything about them.
