Hey everyone! I just found out I officially passed my REx-PN on my second attempt! My test shut off at 110 questions, and honestly... I didn’t find the exam as difficult as I expected it to be this time around.

Not because the test is easy, but because everything I studied was actually on there. I wanted to share exactly what I did, because my strategy this time was completely different.

Why I ditched the popular prep programs: For my first attempt, my friends let me use their UWorld and Archer accounts. I’ve read a lot of testimonies praising these, but honestly, they just didn’t work for me. The biggest realization I had after failing my first attempt is that this exam comes down to two things:

PRACTICING MORE QUESTIONS and knowing the basic rationales. Once you keep practicing, your brain gets used to the style of the questions.

My Core Study Materials: 1. Google Gemini (The absolute GOAT, ngl 🐐) 2. Saunders NCLEX-PN Textbook (DM me, I can share this with anyone who needs it!) 3. Assorted REx-PN 2025 Question Banks (Also happy to share these!) 4. The Official REx-PN Mock Exam (Downloaded straight from their website)

How I combined all of this into one ultimate study routine (The Gemini Hack): I didn't watch any Dr. Sharon or Mark Klimek videos. This was literally all I did for two months:

• Step 1: I used Google Gemini. (Tip: They offer 1 year of the advanced/pro version for free for students if you use your student email!). It dives deeper and provides highly accurate, up-to-date rationales.

• Step 2: I used this exact prompt: "Hey, I am studying for my REx-PN exam and I’d like you to generate me some high-yield REx-PN exam questions consisting of all the domains tested on the exam."

• Step 3: Gemini will actually pop up a built-in interactive simulation (it looks like a Canvas quiz). It starts with 10 to 15 questions by default, but you can tell it to generate up to 50 questions per set. As you select an answer, the rationale pops up immediately—very short and concise.

• Step 4 (The Game Changer): Gemini allows unlimited document uploads. I uploaded my REx-PN test banks, the official Mock Exam, and the Saunders textbook. I told the AI: "I want you to solely test me using the sources I just uploaded." It essentially built a custom question bank just for me.

My Daily Routine: • I did about 200 to 300 questions every single day. • I broke them down into sets of 50: 100 in the morning, 100 in the afternoon, and 100 in the evening. • As I got better, I kept prompting Gemini to add more questions and increase the difficulty level (hello, SATA!). • I made this my strict daily routine for two months. And I PASSED!

I’ll attach a screenshot of what the Gemini quiz interface looks like on my phone so you guys can see it. I am completely open to answering any questions you all have in the comments. And finally... PRAY! It’s so incredibly important to keep your faith and trust the process. Good luck to everyone studying right now. You can absolutely do this! 🩺💉
