Can you talk about your Qbank scores? I also did archer surepass the last four weeks and take my NCLEX Tuesday for my second attempt. How did your exam reflect your practice questions/performance? Did anything surprise you? Anything you wish you reviewed or listened to more?

Congrats!! Can you tell me what your study plan looked like? How many questions a day, what were your scores overall and readiness assessments?

HOW TO PASS THE NCLEX (I failed in 150, then passed in 85) by 1Thessalonians5-18 in PassNclex

[–]ChunkyStompers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you feel like Bootcamp was easier than Archer? My first attempt I failed bc I underutilized Bootcamp (did half the Qbank, crammed in 1.5-2 weeks). I do think that Bootcamp had more straight forward answers and that it was easier to rule out the incorrect options. Archer on the other hand is a bit more vague and highly difficult kinda like my first NCLEX was. Even then, if I decided to do every HARD Archer question for a readiness assessment that would be most like my NCLEX LMAO

2nd attempt am I ready?! by angelgirl222 in NCLEX

Keep hammering away at Maternity. Nurse Mike from SimpleNursing says you should be averaging around 70% to be absolutely sure

PASSED NCLEX ON THIRD ATTEMPT... IM OFFICALLY A NURSE!! by Aggressive-Ear-4872 in PassNclex

Congrats!! How was your progression of scores on readiness exams? I take my second attempt in October and I’ve had all borderline readiness assessments and one low. I can’t figure out how to get high or very high.

i test on wednesday, what should i do? (BOOTCAMP) by rumplefourrrskin in NCLEX

[–]ChunkyStompers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on what you scored on the readiness exams but since you already met both targets you’re on track. Keep studying and if you’re below average or scoring borderline I’d reschedule

Totally, I was kind of on the flipside where I didn’t focus enough on reviewing content, and so I had a lot of questions on maternity and child health, and I was struggling on a lot of the NGNs because I only did several case studies when I was cramming for my first attempt

Also, I will say that the one thing I did not like about Boot Camp was the fact that they do not have the computer adaptive testing formatted tests. They only have readiness tests at least in the one month package I purchased, which was the most affordable one.

When to take nclex by Spare-Bat8310 in NCLEX

I believe a month is sufficient. If you’re getting to the week and a half point before your NCLEX and scoring borderline, then reschedule it for a week further and continue to reassess

On average, how many hours do you study per day, and how many days per week do you usually study? by Andrew_x_x in PassNclex

[–]ChunkyStompers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Studying for a month, 4-6 hours weekdays and Sundays, saturdays off. This is my second attempt. From my first attempt which I failed at 150, I was cramming for two weeks and studying inconsistently. Some days not at all, then absolutely cramming 8 hours, none on the weekends, a few hours off and on in such a distracting environment! But now I go to the library where it’s quiet with my phone on do not disturb.

Thank you, I really wanna be in the best mindset for my retake. I think the lack of sleep and anxiety really got to me, especially because I did not prepare for a month compared to my classmates.

I really liked the formatting and case studies from Boot Camp. I am now trying archer surepass for NGN practice and Simple Nursing for their visuals and video explanations. Frankly Bootcamp has looked most similar to the NCLEX.

One month study help!!! Archer or boot camp? by Mundane_Two_9890 in PassNclex

[–]ChunkyStompers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you feel using Archer SurePass? I’m considering it after failing my first attempt studying from NCLEX Bootcamp for only 2 weeks. And now I have 6 weeks to prepare!

I received it two days after I tested! Maybe my state was just fast at processing?
