“Hello, I did pass the HESI and used your method to help me through it [before we had to take Kaplan]. I want to thank you for taking your time out and helping. I got an 982 on the HESI! That is the highest I have scored on HESI ever…I know I haven’t cross the finish line yet. But feels great to be finished with school! Kaplan did confuse me and I have been going back into the work book just making sure I don’t some how put Kaplan’s method into yours. Lol
Again Thank you so much,”

“I did it! I passed the NCLEX! Your method is solid! I used it all the way thru the exam. I took it Tuesday. The exam was so challenging. My 75th question … the machine shut down. The questions were so hard. I was unsure how I would do but then I remembered u telling me that..I am so happy I found you and your method. It gave me great confidence. It was so great going in with such a precise “game plan”. The questions can be so tricky but the method keeps your head uncluttered. Thank you!”

Good Afternoon! I took the NCLEX last friday, aug 26 I am very happy and ecstatic to tell you that I finally Passed the NCLEX @ 265 questions. I thank you very much for all you help and advice. I wouldn’t make it without your help and your strategies. Thank you very much. Almost 10 years in the making! So glad I found you! Thank you very very much! After 7 attempts, I thought I had no hope anymore, but with your strategies and review; it really gave me the confidence and knowledge to pass NCLEX, and I thank you for that. Yes, I told some friends about how great your review is. My license is posted in the MBON website now, but it is still inactive. It says that I need to submit 1000 hours of nursing practice or I should go to a refresher course. Right now I am looking a refresher course. Thank you very much Ms. Virginia!

I wanted to let you know that I passed the NCLEX in 85 questions! I’m honestly still in shock that this happened. Even with the …. I walked out feeling like I failed the NCLEX. In my opinion it was such a difficult test and there was such an uneasy feeling with every question, but I’m glad I went to you multiple times. I just had to trust myself and the strategies. I have to thank all of your strategies you taught and confidence boost you gave me in the days leading up to this moment. I know you had a great part in this and I truly appreciate it.
Thank you,

Hi Virginia!! Thank you!! Yes I wanted to get it over with ASAP! I unfortunately got about 215 questions it was terrible. Although, I kept remembering you said….! I got a bunch of priority questions like you had warned us and I used your tips for those! At the beginning I did a couple Kaplan practice exams but I thought their rationales were weird so I stopped using it. I also used your workbook again and reviewed it a lot! Thanks again!

Thanks soo much..i passed in 75 questions..i was so shocked when my screen went out..and I just knew I was going to retake..but to my surprise..i passed… I absolutely did not use kaplan. To be honest, I reviewed your testing method, and priority and delegation method just before going in, and just prayed for the best. Though the exam wasn’t hard, it was a bit uncertain. A lot of what I got, I had noo idea what they were talking about, but I tried not to get caught up in that, and tried to fig out what the questions were actually asking. I’m glad it is over!
Thanks for everything,

I passed I had 75 questions. I mainly used what you taught me ……it was there very time. You definitely helped me pass this exam and gave me faith in myself! I had two questions that needed to be put in order. So I didn’t use the decision tree because I thought it was crappy and confused the heck out of me. I did use Uworld, I thought it was nice but i felt like it was harder than Nclex at times. I did however use ncsbn texting practice questions. And it was exactly like nclex and definitely helped me.
Thank you so much,

Hii:) Yes I took my test two weeks ago and passed in 75 questions! I did use what you taught me…. I reread all my questions a few times to make sure I understood the concept. For prep I did all the Kaplan qbank questions and ordered the RN mastery app on my Phone which was super convenient. I actually start my job tomorrow at mercy medical center on a med surg/ telemetry unit and I can’t wait:)

“Hope your summer is going well! I just found out this morning that I passed my NCLEX the first time!! Seriously that was the longest 48 hours of my life to wait for the results. Your …..strategy saved me! I got 140 questions on the NCLEX. I realized as I was sitting there taking it that when I hit 75 questions I had went way too fast. That’s when I was like “OK…remember Virginia said take a deep breath your still in the game your just not there yet and slow down” I tend to be a faster test taker, I hit 75 questions in an hour (which I know is too fast) So I re-adjusted and the computer shut off at 140! I also wanted to inquire about you and I going over my resume.”

Dear Mrs. Sine,
I am emailing you because I took my NCLEX at the end of April and I PASSED!!! Even though I was not able to do your review class for the NCLEX… I still remembered everything you taught during the HESI exit review class and tried to use each one during my exam. Thank you so much for all of your help!!!

“I would recommend Sine Strategies to anyone preparing to take the NCLEX. It helped me view the test in an entirely different way. Instead of looking at it through purely strategy and memorization, you helped me use my critical thinking skills and everything I’ve learned so far to make the right decisions (pick the right answers). I feel like a more knowledgeable and confident nurse after taking your course– and best of all, I passed the test! The first time (before this review) I took 265 questions and failed. I was shaking and felt like I needed to get out of the testing center After I failed, I have never been so upset. I never really struggled in school and I just felt so disappointed in myself- I didn’t know what happened. The second time around, your strategies and words of encouragement helped me to CALM down, which can definitely make or break you in this test. I ……. After your content and strategy review even my Kaplan qbank scores went from 40s-50s to 70s-80s. During the test I could actually visualize parts of your workbook to help me answer the questions and create ….. To anyone who feels discouraged, I say take this Course! It’s the best possible way to spend your money and trust me you will be sooo happy you did once you see your license number! You got this far- you can do it!
THANK YOU! YOU ARE WONDERFUL!”
