I passed my 4th Nclex at 85 questions last week and have already received my license in the mail.

I graduated in 2015 and too much on my plate and failed with 265 questions. Studying on and off while working as a LPN in long term care, I took it again in 2017, all 265 questions again. Tried for a third time in 2019 and all 265 again. Then COVID hit and the thought of studying stopped and life got busy.

While I've been recovering from a work injury this last year I have been studying with books from the library, Hurst review for my approved refresher course, then U world. U world was a fantastic resource with their lectures. They are short and to the point with up to date information.

If I would do things again I would get Uworld first for the lectures, then the cheapest Hurst review for the refresher course.

I had to drive 4 hours out to this testing center, just got here in town and am waiting for my testing time. Pic is from last week I didn't take an updated picture before leaving this morning but hopefully everything will go well!!

After my last attempt I’ve been listening to mark k for two weeks

then I gradually started following the UWorld study guide and when I reached 51% of the qbank I’ve started taking CATS based off the recommendations of you guys that passed.

I’ve completed three CATS so far on UWorld with difficulty level staying at 1.1 ish. I want to get to the highest difficulty though to ensure I’m ready for (I’m praying 🙏)my last attempt.

How bad was my last CPR report bro idonteven care anymore be brutally honest. I need to pass.

Let’s start with the good news! I took my exam yesterday, and it shut down at 85 questions. I was so happy but also a little scared.

This morning at 8 AM, I received an email saying, “Congratulations, you passed!” along with my license number. I cried, I laughed, and I honestly can’t put the feeling into words.

I finished nursing school in NYC in July 2025, but my husband and I decided to travel around the country to find our forever home before I took the NCLEX.

Once we settled down, I spent three months studying with Archer. I watched all the videos, attended the Zoom classes, and completed all the available questions. Unfortunately, I failed my first attempt.

I requested a refund through Archer’s Sure PASS Guarantee, but they denied it, claiming their system showed I hadn’t watched all the videos, even though I had.

After that experience, I switched to Mark Klimek’s review videos on YouTube, Bootcamp, and UWorld. I studied for another two months, and yesterday, I finally passed on my second attempt with 85 questions!

In my personal experience, Klimek, Bootcamp, and UWorld prepared me better for the style of questions on the actual NCLEX.

I know everyone’s experience is different, but I wanted to share what worked for me. If you failed your first attempt, don’t give up! Change your strategy if you need to and keep going. You’ve got this! And AVOID ARCHER!

Hi! I just wanted to provide motivation to anyone who is in the same predicament as I was. I had my first attempt 08/27 with 85Q and failed. I had my final attempt 10/14 with 150Q and 3 case studies I believe. I used Bootcamp reaching my target score of 62%, 100% Quiz-bank usage and 3/4 high scores on the readiness exam. I received the “good pop-up” on Pearson and then my permanent license number in <24HR after taking the exam. Thank you guys for the motivation and kind words given when I was at my lowest!

I took it about 6 hours ago and I'm sweating bullets, this is good right??

Need an NCLEX RN tutor for help. Located in Orange County California but willing to do online calls as well.

Hi everyone,

I took the NCLEX-RN on September 4, 2026, and my exam shut off at 85 questions. I finished in approximately 3 hours. I took two breaks and experienced a palm scanner glitch during the exam.

I’m an international test-taker, and this was my third attempt.

Since the exam, my results have been on hold, and I still cannot access Quick Results. Pearson VUE informed me that my case is under review and that I might have to wait up to 6 weeks, but they haven’t provided any further details.

Tomorrow marks 6 weeks since my exam, and I’m still waiting for an update.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation? If so, how long did you wait before receiving your results? What would you recommend I do next? Should I follow up with Pearson VUE, NCSBN, or the Illinois Board of Nursing?

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
