I'm in shock right now. I finally passed the dreaded NCLEX on the 5th try and only 80 questions!!!!

I wrote last Wednesday and just got my letter in the mail today. I am going to post exactly what I did because I know I've read these forums for others like me to get hope. So here it is, short and sweet:

1st try- nothing, sort of tried to wing it (265-failed)
2nd try- NCSBN learning extension 5 week program (75-failed)
3rd try- Uworld, but I half assed it by not reading every rationale (265-failed)
4th try- HURST, did the lectures and reviewed the content, didnt use Uworld (75- failed)
5th try- Uworld 50q/day and EVERY. SINGLE. RATIONALE.- right or wrong. And then did the wrong exams by system (especially Leadership/Management and ones I did poorly in- Pediatrics/Maternity)

I also had someone send me the Mark Klimek lectures which I listened to while driving or going for a walk. I think they really helped connect things I didn't understand before!

I took my Self Assessment 8 days before my exam just to see where I was at.

Self Assessment- 72% with 93rd percentile "very high"
Uworld bank 58%- 63rd percentile

I studied everyday for 3 weeks with only 3 days off to hang with friends or relax.

I worked full time and studied. If i can do it, YOU CAN TOO!! If you have any questions, let me know!
