thank you for the insight and positive vibes. I will be testing in 12 days and have done nothing but Uworld and have a total 500 questions/ 2 composition book from my notes. I still have 800 questions to go. I feel like I am understanding the questions much better with UWorld. This will be my 4th attempts. Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing..............I will be taking mine in 14days but my subscription will end 4days before my exams. I am believing I too will pass.

Because my subscription expires today, I dont think I'll be able to come in here to reply or create a board, so I figured even though I never write anything online, I should share my story.

So I failed my nclex 2 times, first time I used Kaplan, second time I used prep-u. Prep u was good because it helped me pass my PN boards, but I was up to level 8 when I took my boards and passed, when I took it for RN however, I only reached level 3 on most things and level 4 on a few.
Everyone else in my class was passing their boards using uworld, even people that I did better than in class , so I decided to get a subscription and try my luck even though I was skeptical.
This was my third try, I used absolutely nothing but Uworld. I did not know what the self assessment test was, so I tooonit first, it said 30% borderline of passing nclex. I was like no doubt, obviously, second try I had gone all the way to 265 questions and first try I had gone to 127 questions. So I was heart broken, but reading people's stories on here helped me. I started off doing just 10 questions at a day then 50 questions a day, sets of 10. Eventually I started doing 75 a day, on tutor mode, and reading every rationale. I would answer a question, read a rationale, write notes on my notebook then move on to the next question. I had so many notes. I would write everything even when I knew it was easy, as long as I had forgotten about it, I would write it down. It helped, two days before the boards, I had finished all the questions so I was just going through all the notes I wrote. On the day of, I slept in and took my boards, it felt easy. I thought I failed again because it felt too easy, and I only had 75 questions. Guess what guys, I found out I passed. My second assessment was 60% with high chance of passing. My average was at 20% when I first started, by the time I was done taking all the questions, my average was 52 percentile or present on the regular questions and not self assessment. So I'm here to tell you, don't be discouraged when you see people post they have 90% before their boards, read every rationale. Look at the pictures and if you're tired, take a break. Thanks again to uworld! Don't be discouraged and I hope this message helps someone

Hello, I test on May 6 and I need some structured guidance. I started UWorld yesterday and I did 75 questions in all categories and score 46.7% which is extremely low. I noticed you said that you tested and went back and read the rationales thoroughly and wrote notes. Can you tell me exactly what you did step by step and when you said notes can you kind of clarify a little on that. Thanks in advance

i take my test for the 4th time on April 19th I have been scoring above average on all the tests and today i took the self assessment and scored only in the 24th percentile! I dont understand those reflections because I was doing so well on the test before I took this self assessment. I have about 600 more questions left and all the question will be done in my bank. Loosing hope as test day approaches and I did so poorly on the self assesment
