I found your video today because I just found out today that I failed and my exam shut down at 75. I used nclex high yield review which cost me $600 but they’re with me until I pass so that’s good. Right now I’m just going through videos of people that failed to convince myself that it’s okay to fail and not get so depressed.

[@SiedmannSoltes]

I think it's perfectly okay to feel sad that you failed. It just shows that it's something you care about. I hope you find the grace to not beat yourself up too much because it can be a difficult exam. I'll be rooting for you whatever you plan to do next!

[@alexserban6626]

The Nclex test is very difficult to pass, I can’t believe I failed after studying with so many materials😔💔💔💔💔

[@nathanielcharles2970]

I’ve always believed Nclex is not all about studying, you need God’s grace to pass

[@johnmicheal4367]

I hope I can pass NCLEX Exam I Don't have a job,I am 32 years old all my dreams related to NCLEX,if I can choose between my life and NCLEX would choose NCLEX

[@paisleybrown3118]

I’ve taken the test for the 3rd time and yet I failed, I really studied hard each time, please I need Mrs Sophia info

[@awomul]

Wow that's wild. I appreciate you watching and best of luck on your next attempt! I'm sure you'll do amazing

Have you been struggling with NCLEX be it LPN or RN, have you taken the exam for more than once? Are you taking it for the first time? Do you have a too busy schedule to study? Get to Dr Needham for your NCLEX assistance. I’m so happy I finally passed my exams thanks to him. He’s got a magical qbank which will help you become a RN

[@maeyengomez6980]

Hi. I failed my 2nd attempt. And I’m back to studying again and again . Thank you so much

[@SiedmannSoltes]

You got this! I wish you the best of luck on your next attempt

[@pankajjoshi2032]

how was it ?

[@pankajjoshi2032]

@user-cw1lp1be2f Is that pass ? I was initially thinking about LPN but they are paid only $3-5/ hour more than HCA/ CNA. So, I was thinking about going for RN instead, as LPN is a two years program here (Canada). I don't know that much about the Nclex passing score. Now I'm just not sure.

[@furwinner19]

I took my PN EXAM April 12,2022. I Pass WITH 109 questions. Don’t be scared. Be positive and if you are a believer just live everything in God hands after your studies, Don’t lean to your own understanding you will fail. The importance is to pass and not the numbers of questions. I used UWORD and Mark klimek only to study. When I finished my exam my spirit was calm and I had that inside peace. You should have a plan for study and time to relax. NCLEX is just straight forward. Proverbs 3:5. April 13,2022 UPDATE!!!!! I went to Virginia board of nursing and I PASS. So since yesterday I didn’t check or use the trick for checking result. I just have faith by posting without knowing my result and trust GOD IN THE PROCESS. Glory to him.🙏🙏

[@SiedmannSoltes]

wow that's amazing! congratulations!

[@furwinner19]

[@ntamambasi1510]

I really like you words of courage. I did take mine and it stop 107 with me having too much faith in God but when I come back I check the tick and it say that registration again and I was really mad with God and I received my results after 4 day. I didn’t let God to do what he promised me to do.

Congrats! I failed my Nclex at 85 last April 11, 2024. I felt disappointed and sad. Maybe it’s not my time. But I don’t know how to start again.

[@LSUWarlan]

I passed the nclex in 75 questions. I played video games while I listened to Mark klimek. I dont think he helped me too much tbh

[@SiedmannSoltes]

Congratulations! Everyone kind of studies in a different way so I totally understand if something that works for other people weren't really too helpful for you though. I'm glad you made it through!

[@alyssashleeeey]

Hi! I took the NGN NCLEX just recently, failed at 150. It was my first time taking and I am so bummed of the result. It has been a few days already since I got my result but I'm already planning to take my 2nd attempt within the year. Same goal, different strategy. ☺The NCLEX High Yield Podcast that you mentioned, is that the same as the NCLEX High Yield-Dr Zeeshan Hoodbhoy with a purple cover in it?

[@SiedmannSoltes]

Hi, thanks for sharing your journey! It can definitely be rocky but I’m sure you’ll get better results the second time around. And yes, that’s the podcast I used to review. Best of luck!

Dr Needham review materials for the nclex RN are the best I finally passed after working with him on my 4 attempt. He is the nclex solution contact him if you need help

[@babycakes5629]

Great video! out of all of the study materials what did you think you found the most helpful and BTW! can you disclosed the book your parents used? I am using Mark K , uworld , simple nursing, and Nclex High yield, I also have the ATI CONTENT REVIEW Book too. Also what were the tips you used while taking the exam? I am an older student and my anxiety is through the roof.. I have 30 days to study... TIA

[@SiedmannSoltes]

I think in terms of knowledge, I probably found UWorld & nclex high yield the most helpful, but you have to make sure you have a thorough understanding of the main concepts. Also, parents didn’t have a book. It was mostly review packets from some review seminars I think they attended prior to taking it years ago. The main tip that I used was 1) not to focus on time and focus on the question because it’s better to have answered less questions and gotten more of those correct than answered more but gotten a lot less correct. If you know the concepts you shouldn’t run out of time before answering the minimum amount either. Another big one was asking myself “what is the question actually asking?” before looking at the answers. From that point, I would start from the last answer and work backwards to answer A. Essentially, if it was an A,B,C,D question, I would ask “Does D or C answer the question?” If I chose that D may be the correct answer, I’d move to ask “Does D or B answer the question?” And keep going in that manner until I have the final answer or at least the best two choices. I hope that made sense, but let me know if you have any more questions

Don't let my journey scare you! You should go for it if that's something you want for yourself

[@jhemp101]

What were some of your test taking skills?

[@SiedmannSoltes]

One of the biggest things I did was every time I read a question, I would ask myself "what is this question really asking?" in my own words before looking at answers. Then I would look at two answer choices at a time and ask "Is this answer the better option for what the question is asking or the other one?" and cross out answers until I only had one or two options for the best answer and make a choice then. This really worked for me because sometimes they add answer choices that are distractors, but if you know what the question is asking before looking at answers and you understand the concepts, you'll notice the distractors a lot easier

About a week

[@RamadiAaron]

I failed today. 145 questions. I was the first to take it, and last to finish. All the others there finished really early. Once done with 145 the research questions popped up, the test admin told me to not to do it anymore. I dunno if i have the heart to re take again and i have to go back to work now since i stopped for a month plus coz i wanted to "concentrate" but i never was the type who knows how to study tho i can say i was a very good nurse back in the philippines. I just feel that i dont know how to study correctly and i went theu the whole month plus feeing that i did not know what i was doing and was just answer questions on uworld and writing stuff that i got wrong and thats it. Dunno if thats studying. But yeah. It sucks.

[@SiedmannSoltes]

I'm sorry to hear. I definitely know what that's like, but try not to beat yourself up too much because it is a difficult exam. If you plan to take it again, just think about what went right and what went wrong with how you prepared, and adjust accordingly! But if not, then that's all right too

hi! do you recommend to work while waiting for the approval of the exam? I'm a second taker as well

[@SiedmannSoltes]

If you have some sort of deadline, I don't necessarily think it would be a bad idea. For me, I did take about 3 weeks to just process everything and take a break before going at it again, so I think it's a bit specific to your own situation!
