Kassie W.

2 NCLEX lessons

After my 1st attempt of the NCLEX, I became discouraged. I knew I had to do something different in my studying habits so I could pass my boards in the future. I found Cynthia's tutoring sessions very helpful! We mostly discussed NCLEX test taking strategies and went over the different types of questions. My weakness was priority and select all that applied questions. Cynthia worked with me on how to critically think and apply my knowledge to find the correct answers.

Rachael helped prepare me for the NCLEX, RN exam I struggled with taking twice before. My biggest problem I struggled with was test anxiety and confidence around the NCLEX because I had taken it twice and did not pass. Rachael and I worked together for about 4 months and by our last tutoring session, my test anxiety decreased and I also felt confident walking to the exam on test day. She gave some really helpful strategies and techniques I used on exam day.
