Top Tips for Retaking and Passing the NCLEX

There are many students who retake the NCLEX and pass. We suggest doing two major things when you are remediating to re-take the NCLEX:

1. Be honest about what went wrong and your weaknesses

• If you didn’t recognize what most of the questions were even trying to ask you about, then you may need to review content. We build a rich content review into every single explanation. Spend your time really reviewing this content until you understand it well enough to teach it to someone else.
• Did you “know your stuff,” but you have test anxiety? Do you feel like you’re constantly “reading the question wrong?” Then you may need to specifically review some strategies from our NGN Strategy Course. Take your time, breathe, and be sure you get PLENTY of practice with our question bank, so that the NCLEX will feel very comfortable to you, like just another Bootcamp practice test.

2. Review your Candidate Performance Report (CPR)‍

The absolute easiest way to analyze and review your Candidate Performance Report (CPR) is to use our Candidate Performance Report (CPR) analyzer. Just upload your CPR and the analyzer will generate a personalized improvement plan for exactly what to focus on inside NCLEX Bootcamp.

Alternatively, you can read the table below to determine which areas in NCLEX Bootcamp you need to focus on based on your CPR.
