UWorld is the BEST nclex prep source!! Upon graduation from BSN program, I did the $500 Kaplan 3 day in class prep course. My licence has posted and I start working next week. Either way, I passed NCLEX on my first attempt, 75 questions due to UWORLD. Maybe because I spent SOO much time and effort studying and practicing on Uworld, my mind was in autopilot. I got AT LEAST 25 SATA, but the weird thing is I didn't really feel myself REALLY thinking hard during the entire test. Fast foward 1hr 45 mins, the computer shut off at 75 and I knew I got the last question correct. As I was sitting in the waiting room to be called up to get searched prior to sitting down to take NCLEX, I told myself "Alright man, you put in the hard work, did great on UWorld practice tests. It took every ounce of focus and determination to sit down for 12 hrs on my off days studying and doing practice tests. My life for the past 2 months was either work as a CNA or study/practice on Uworld.
Also SLAVING away on this website whenever I wasn't working. After that, look into a mirror and recite it again, in the mindset that I was educating a patient. REMEDIATION IS KEY! I spent so much time during remediation of wrong questions: when I would go to the results page of the test, I would look at the "system and topic" of the question and immediately mentally recite the question, answer and rationale, and repeat that 5x over to burn it into my brain. On final assessment 1, I scored 57% and on final assessment 2, I scored 71%. My performance on completed qbank was 60% correct, 40% incorrect. Fast forward a month, my scores improved to low-high 60s. When I first started to do Uworld practice tests, I started in the 40% range on 75q tests. How the hell are you supposed to learn from it!? After that, I started doing UWorld and was amazed: Large qbank, AMAZING RATIONALES, and you can select to do tests based off subjects. The rationales are absolute dog****, one sentence max. With time, I found I was getting some questions wrong because of it. You cannot use that damn decision tree on every question.
At first, when I was doing solely kaplan practice tests, I thought "Hell yea this decision tree works". Honestly, I could have asked a former student who took the class to tell me the main points (decision tree) and that would have been suffice.
