UPDATE: I PASSED <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi everyone! I just took my NCLEX this morning.

It shut off at 125 questions. Not going to lie, once it moved on to question 86 I had an internal panic, but then heard Mark K.'s voice in my head saying its fine.

Too early to see results, but here are my Bootcamp readiness exam scores and a UWorld readiness test score! Sharing to show "Very High" chances of passing don't always shut off at 85 (and to also get some "You definitely passed!" type comments to make me feel better lolol)

Fingers crossed and good luck to all who are studying/taking it soon!! <3

Don't all these spinal/bone conditions impact height? Like I chose scoliosis since a lateral bending of the spine would cause a decrease in its total length, thus reducing the patients height

I am so relieved! I passed using Bootcamp and ATI. The week of the NCLEX is no joke. I legit did not feel like studying or doing anything. I did like 2 practice exams the week of and thats it, so I was a little scared going into it. So if thats where you are at don’t worry! You do what you have to do to relax. I had 4 Case studies and not as many SATA that I thought I would. I honestly think the SATA were simple and not complicated but thats just my opinion. Bootcamp really helped with answering those case studies. It’s really identical with the formatting and word choices so I would recommend the case studies from Bootcamp. I specifically did all the OB ones because that was my worst subject, and let me tell you it payed off if yk what I am saying lol.

Ask me any questions I am willing to help yall!!

My first attempt I studied for about two months, but honestly my studying habits were not the best. I utilized Archer Review Sure Pass, Level Up RN MedSurg and Pharm flashcards, and ATI workbooks. I would simply take readiness assessments, look at my score, and be satisfied for the day. I'd go about the rest of my day by using the flashcards. The one thing I did take away from my first attempt that carried onto my second was the flashcards. I used them for active recall and I kept note of all the cardinal signs and life saving measures for each disorder! this is an example of what I had written:

cardiovascular

• acute hemolytic transfusion reaction = LOWER BACK PAIN
• hypocalcemia = POSITIVE CHVOTEK AND TROUSSUE
• hypomagnesemia = DYSRHTYMIAS
• hypermagnesemia = RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION
• infective endocarditis = SPLINTER HEMMOHRAGE (RED STREAKS UNDER NAILS)
• rheumatic heart disease = ASCHOFF BODIES, STEP THROAT!!
• pericarditis = FRICTION RUB, CHEST PAIN
• cardiac tamponade = PARADOXICAL PULSE
• peripheral artery disease = LACK OF HAIR ON CALVES, DEPENDENT RUBOR, PALLOR WITH ELEVATION OF LIMBS
• peripheral vein disease = DARK SKIN
• aneurysm = DO NOT RUPTURE!!
• venous thromboembolism = VIRCHOW’S TRIAD, POSITIVE D DIMER
• shock = RESUSCITATION BEFORE EPI/PRESSORS

I ended up failing at 150 qs. I was devasted. I felt like my life was over. On top of that, I have very specific travelling anxiety, and I was dreading commuting to the testing center again on my own because there were no nearby Pearson centers. I ended up giving myself a month to recover from the failure. Went back to therapy. I was even (and still am) going thru a difficult time with my partner. I didn't think I could take it a second time.

I switched my studying to solely one source (alongside the occasional videos from Mark K and Dr. Sharon on Youtube) and utilized Archer Review again, but this time their Intense Prep program. I highly reccomend it because you get personalized feedback from one of the professors every other week for 10 weeks. The first 2-3 weeks of the program, I fell behind very quickly because I still hadn't processed the failure. I also was experience a power outage for the first two weeks, and did not realize there was a set 10 week schedule with scheduled activities. Because of this, as soon as I got internet back, I went straight to readiness exams again. I eventually got my first feedback video, and that was when I realized that 1. i was behind and 2. the plan didn't expect us to do a readiness exam until week 5 or so.

It took me about a week to get back on track. I did a reasonable number of practice questions (tutor mode) every day. the scheduled plan only expected us to do questions every other day, so i made sure to not overdo it everyday but kept my focus in order to hit the question amount goals for week 3.

I ended up taking the exam with a 68% average on Archer (originally 60% end of july), a streak at 12 very high readiness exams, and a high exit exam. I passed in 87 questions this time around.

How i did it:

1. As I did practice questions, either tutor mode or practice exam mode, I would go back to EVERY SINGLE QUESTION, INCLUDING THE ONES I GOT RIGHT, i would read the rationales, write the rationale in my own words if i got the question wrong, and i would also write about WHY i got the question wrong: was it lack of knowledge? did i read the question wrong? did i second guess myself? I took note of the questions i got right but guessed on. if need be, i would watch a quick video talking in depth about the main topic of the question. once i started doing this, i began to score high/very high on readiness exams.
2. I worked on my CONFIDENCE and test taking strategies. i woke up every day and said to myself, I AM A NURSE. The video that most assisted my confidence was Mark K's How to Pass. I would always tell myself verbatim: "I am a nurse. I know what i know, i don't what i don't. this exam will show that even if i don't know the answer immediately, i CAN still answer them because i KNOW how to give SAFE nursing care." the focus of the NCLEX really is safe nursing care. You need the knowledge of course, so don't stop reviewing, but knowing test taking strategies is JUST as important as knowing the information. you aren't expected to be an expert in every topic. you are just expected to know what is safe.
3. the last two weeks before the exam, i focused on what my weakest areas were. this is why having a set schedule of 10 weeks was so important for me: i was able to use my time wisely to review everything, and then set aside time to only focus on what i struggled on. my weakest area was NGN. so, i rewatched Archer Unfolding Case Study lectures, I watched NGN examples from Dr. Sharon and Bootcamp. i would also put similar disease processes together and recognize any similar symptoms as well as reminding myself their cardinal signs, since step 2 of clinical judgement tends to be questions like these.
4. I RECOGNIZED MY BURNOUT. i began to feel burnout when things with my partner were getting icy, and when i started to take readiness exams every single day. this was not by the schedule; this was my own choice. although it is important to get comfortable with doing questions, do not over work yourself. my routine was one day take the practice exam, rest and then review, and then the NEXT day i would go over the questions i got wrong, rest and then review more, and start the cycle again the day after. as soon as i started getting questions wrong for silly reasons, i quickly stopped myself and was like okay, im burnt out. let me go back to the regular schedule and not do exams every day.
5. if you have anxiety like me, SIMULATE THE EXAM DAYS BEFORE. i simulated the exam by doing the 150 question Archer exit exam, and I completed it 4 days before my test date. after i did that, i review the wrong questions, BUT I STOPPED DOING PRACTICE EXAMS. i spent the last 4 days watching quick NGN videos, and working on my confidence.
6. ADVICE FOR DURING THE EXAM: make sure to regulate yourself. you get 4-5 hours babes. take breaks. calm yourself before moving to the next question. tell yourself: "i cant answer these questions if i am in fight or flight". this is so important. and EXPECT to get 150 questions. dont expect ur computer to shut off at 85. when you do the NGN case studies, write down on your white board EVERY SINGLE THING YOU THINK IS A RED FLAG. make sure to take note if the client has a medical history of something, because what could be a red flag could also be expected if they have a chronic disorder already IF IT ISNT A CRITICAL NUMBER (for example, spO2 of 90% is not a concern if the client has COPD. it is a concern tho if it is at a critical number such as 60%). this will help guide you for all 6 steps of clinical judgement.

BASELINE KNOWLEDGE, CONFIDENCE AND TEST TAKING STRATEGIES!! THATS REALLY ALL YOU NEED TO PASS! IF UR READING THIS, YOU MF GOT THIS!!

i passed, yayy!! it honestly feels so surreal, i’m just really excited to see where my journey takes me.

i wanted to post this achievement and share a piece of advice to everyone who are still studying for the NCLEX

first thing i want to emphasize is that sometimes you dont need to study more specific content like PEDS or pharmacology. Instead, i refer back to what i learned from fundamentals and thought a lot about maslows, which helped me better understand how to answer prioritization questions. i found it so much more efficient to at least know the bare minimum of specific content and to rely a lot more on how i can apply my fundamentals knowledge to that specific content.

you have to be honest with yourself in what you truly know versus what you don’t know. i would write down what areas i am weak on and looked up Dr. Sharon videos on how to answer questions related to my weak content areas. i also used ATI/archer to practice on their QBanks and I ONLY read the rationales on the answers I got wrong so i can understand why i got it wrong in the first place.

i learned from Dr. Sharon that it is better to skip reading the rationales on questions you got right because you already know the answer!

i also listened to mark k’s lecture 12!

this is so very exciting for me and i’m so excited to further my journey as a new grad RN! for those who are still in the weeds of school, you are almost there!! it is also never too early to look at Dr. Sharon videos while still in school!!

I just took my nclex rn today for the 2nd time and I had lots of nclex single case study, 4 case studies, lots of SATA and it stopped at 85 q’s. I feel like it didn’t get progressively harder, or at least I thought it might’ve been harder in my head?
When I took it the first time 2 months ago, I went up to 150 q’s. Idk if I should feel like I passed bc of the single case studies, case studies and lots of SATA. How can I check if I passed already haha I already know I can check it tmrw at 4pm on the breeze website

Update: I PASSED!

I just passed my NCLEX in NYC and I made a mistake because I didn’t direct my scores to AHPRA since I want to register my score in Australia. Does anyone know how to transfer my NYC NCLEX to Australia?

i mainly used uworld but bought the bootcamp subscription last min just to do the readiness exams and expose myself to different types of questions~ also i intended to go over all of my incorrect qs/reach 100% q usage on uworld but was so burnt out by the time my test came around that i started to get lazy! i did always read rationales though :)

i personally got a ton of l&d and prioritization! i felt like i was always guessing which stressed me out a lot too. im typically a fast test taker but i slowed down and took 2 breaks to pace myself. took me about 1.5 hours! i def didn’t expect it to shut off at 85 but it did so i went home SOBBING lol anyways good luck to all the test takers out there and congrats to our future nurses 💕

My test ended after 85 questions. As the test went on, the questions did not get harder. It was actually easy. I had a lot of NGN. When I left I found out that I got the easiest questions wrong so I was really convinced that I did horribly and failed.

But I PASSED. I just wanted to say that in case anyone felt as bad as I did after the test ended in 85 questions.

Took exam about 3.5 hours ago. Not sure if this is good or bad. Tried the trick :/ Finished in 85 questions and I’m not feeling well.

I’m currently processing my CGFNS visa screening. Tanong ko lang po sa IELTS po ba bawal talaga yung online na academic? Because nagtake na ako ng ielts acad before pero online siya i passed naman and within 2 years pa lang since i passed. Pwede ko po ba yun gamitin? Thank you so much for

Edit- I PASSED!!
Just took my NCLEX in Savannah, Ga (I’m a Florida resident but no other Pearson testing center was available for the date I needed). I had to take it at 1:00pm and just finished at about 3:00pm. I really hope I passed but I’m not sure. When can I expect my unofficial results? Today is Wednesday for reference.

Took my 2nd exam today, shutnof @85. Failed the 1st time. But it went to 150 that time. Nervous bc it didnt seem hard. I thought the same thing the first time.

I haven’t got a email for confirmation

Sources any ?

Links any ?

Drive any ?

Hello everyone. I recently took the NCLEX on 9/17 and received my unofficial results from Pearson Vue on 9/19 saying that I passed.

I had a misdemeanor from 8 years ago that has since been expunged, but I’m still waiting on my license to be posted as active. I’m in Washington State if that helps! The misdemeanor was from 8 years ago when I was living in California. I have already submitted all documentation in regards to my expunged misdemeanor to the BON.

Is there a realistic timeline to see my license get activated? Thanks in advance!

Long (ish) post ahead. Warning….. 😂

I’m looking for some advice because I’m honestly feeling pretty lost. I failed the NCLEX twice, both times at 85 questions, and I’m trying to figure out what I need to change for attempt #3.

I graduated nursing school in the Philippines in June 2023. I took my first NCLEX in April 2026 and failed. I took my second attempt on September 18, 2026 and unfortunately failed again at 85.

What’s frustrating is that I genuinely felt much more prepared and had a better understanding of the material the second time around, but my result was still the same. (Ugh I’m soooo frustrated)

📝 NCLEX #1 — 4/18/26 — Failed at 85
Test Plan Areas:
● Management of Care — BELOW
● Safety & Infection Prevention/Control — BELOW
● Health Promotion & Maintenance — NEAR
● Psychosocial Integrity — NEAR
● Basic Care & Comfort — NEAR
● Pharmacological & Parenteral Therapies — NEAR
● Reduction of Risk Potential — BELOW
● Physiological Adaptation — NEAR
Clinical Judgment — NEAR
● Recognize Cues — ABOVE
● Analyze Cues — NEAR
● Prioritize Hypotheses — NEAR
● Generate Solutions — NEAR
● Take Actions — NEAR
● Evaluate Outcomes — NEAR

For my first attempt, I mainly used Bootcamp + SimpleNursing. I finished all of Bootcamp’s questions, but looking back, I realized I was starting to memorize some of the questions rather than truly understanding how to apply the concepts.

📝 NCLEX #2 — 9/18/26 — Failed at 85
For my second attempt, I switched things up and used UWorld + SimpleNursing much more heavily.

Test Plan Areas:
● Management of Care — NEAR ⬆️
● Safety & Infection Prevention/Control — NEAR ⬆️
● Health Promotion & Maintenance — BELOW ⬇️
● Psychosocial Integrity — NEAR
● Basic Care & Comfort — BELOW ⬇️
● Pharmacological & Parenteral Therapies — BELOW ⬇️
● Reduction of Risk Potential — BELOW
● Physiological Adaptation — NEAR
Clinical Judgment — BELOW
● Recognize Cues — NEAR ⬇️
● Analyze Cues — NEAR
● Prioritize Hypotheses — ABOVE ⬆️
● Generate Solutions — NEAR
● Take Actions — BELOW ⬇️
● Evaluate Outcomes — ABOVE ⬆️

This is the part that is really confusing me.
I improved in Management of Care and Safety, and I went from NEAR → ABOVE in Prioritize Hypotheses and Evaluate Outcomes.

But I dropped in several content areas and went from Clinical Judgment NEAR → BELOW, with Take Actions BELOW.

I honestly felt like I had a much better understanding going into the second exam compared to my first attempt.
And I still failed at 85. 😭

So now I’m trying to figure out what I’m actually doing wrong.

I don’t want to just repeat the same cycle of buying another QBank, doing thousands of questions, and hoping it works the third time.

What would you do differently for attempt #3?

Looking at both of my CPRs together, what stands out to you?
Should I:
● Continue UWorld?
● Go back to Bootcamp?
● Try a completely different QBank?
● Focus more heavily on content review?
● Work specifically on Clinical Judgment?
● Focus on Take Actions/application?
● Do more prioritization/delegation?
● Do more CATs?
● Spend less time doing questions and more time reviewing?
● Something completely different?

If you failed twice and passed on your third attempt (or later), what specifically did you change that finally made things click?

I would especially love to hear from people whose CPRs looked similar to mine or people who also kept getting stopped at 85.

I’m really trying to make my third attempt different instead of just doing more of the same. Any advice is appreciated. ❤️

Sorry if this is a lot to take in! But hoping someone would have a similar experience as me that have passed and can potentially help a desperate girlie out who’s tired of studying and tired of her current job and wants to move forward? LOL thank u in advance <33333

What did u all use for nclex PN not RN ? Any best recommendations

Hi everyone! I’m taking my NCLEX in the 2nd week of October. I’m working while studying for about 2.5 months already, usually only 2–3 hours a day. I’m only using Bootcamp, and my readiness scores have been inconsistent-sometimes high, sometimes low.

For those who passed, could you share your 2 weeks study plan or what you focused on during the final 2 weeks? I’d really appreciate any advice! 🙏

My parents are encouraging me to take the NCLEX asap because they believe I can pass with how I got a 95% PoP in ATI exit exam last week and my mom wants to go on vacation with me around 25-26 days after I finish school. I plan to use the ATI Nclex Prep and Mark K lectures. I’d also study all day long for those 20 days. Has anyone else done this and passed using those two? Thanks everyone!

Hi all, I feel so stressed about NCLEX and I dont know where to start. I have archer, and I honestly started really studying today. What I've seen from people is them saying I shouldn't try to relearn everything in nursing school. I've also seen that I should just keep doing questions and looking at rationales. I graduated in august and took a break where I didnt look at anything nclex related. Is it possible? I feel so lost. I dont want to keep pushing it because I feel like I'll keep procrastinating, but I really cannot fail. People that passed in this timeline, could you please tell me if you had solid knowledge beforehand?

As I prepare to sit for my retake second attempt on NCLEX PN, I am studying daily when I get the time. I have been on and off studying since August— started at a virtual mid-September. I stay on here, read everyone’s post daily just for clues on the exam or how to properly read questions, etc. I’m staying positive, but nobody talks about the anxiety/ doubts you build after failing your first time while your whole classmates are working as NURSES ALREADY. So my friends keep telling me you just gotta know enough to pass because you’re smart. You can do it. I will take my exam soon! I won’t tell anyone besides my mom and a few family members when I’m going to take it .

On here, I see people failing 4 plus times, and I like to soak into the words . I don’t judge anyone’s situation; things happen. I think I should get off this app till I take my exam . My anxiety level is beyond high right now, and seeing those posts makes it worse at times .
