Repeat Test Taker

Justine is incredible, and I wouldn’t have passed without her. I graduated in December and had multiple things going on in my life, including getting married in May. I started working with Justine in March and she is incredible from the start, and very flexible with your schedule. I took my NCLEX 10 days after I got married and it shut off at 85 questions and got the email 12 hours later saying I had passed! Her strategies are amazing and easy to understand. Even after our first session I had already felt better about doing this process again. She is smart, kind and honest! Also I HIGHLY recommend getting her nuggets book, super easy to read with lots of pictures!

Incredible tutoring and Phenomenal Nuggets Book!

I praise Justine for her hard work and dedication to tutoring! She is THE NCLEX TUTOR no doubt in my mind! She provided me specific topics to work on each week, gave me so many different strategies and most importantly was person-focused. She focused on my weaknesses and guided me to review topics I struggled with and provided tests that were SO similar to the NCLEX, worded so similarly!

I purchased the Nuggets book and it is very simple and an easy pictorial to use for content and very specific to the NCLEX. She did an amazing job with the Nuggets and included video explanations along with the Nuggets that additionally made my studying and review experience more concise and straightforward. This was my fourth time taking the NCLEX as a repeat test-taker and my world turned around for the good once Justine provided the guidance and support in her tutoring services. That is when I passed! I most definitely suggest meeting with Justine and utilizing her Nuggets book. She was very honest with me when she thought I needed more time to study to be prepared. The entire experience was uplifting and I don’t suggest anyone else but Justine and her Nuggets book! If you are struggling to pass the NCLEX, I have no doubt Justine’s tutoring service and Nuggets book will bring you to success!

3rd Times The Charm w/ Justine!! PASSED NCLEX in 85 QS!!

I failed the NCLEX twice before discovering Justine and the Nuggets book; and that changed everything. Working with Justine felt like having a tutor and a best friend in one. We followed her study schedule, completed her tutoring sessions, and used UWorld for practice questions. I finished all of her assessments and two UWorld assessments. While my UWorld results showed borderline passing, I consistently passed every section of Justine’s assessments, which gave me the confidence I needed. Her strategies and tools were essential to helping me pass. One of the best parts is that she allows you to pay for tutoring one session at a time, which really helps if you’re managing tight finances. Even if you’re someone who learns well independently, I highly recommend getting the Nuggets book and scheduling at least one session with her to review test-taking strategies; it’s absolutely worth it.

Couldn’t have passed my Nclex without my book or my amazing tutor!!!! The best of the best !!! My tutor Justine helped me pass my NCLEX the second time I took it and prepared me so well and taught me tips and tricks of how to take a test and to understand content, and to think critically.I think she is the most amazing person, and Tutor I ever came across. I can’t thank her enough for helping and guiding me into passing my NCLEX !

March 2025, Missouri

I’m incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I received from Justine Buick as my NCLEX tutor. Thanks to her expertise, I passed the NCLEX with confidence. We met twice a week, and each session was tailored to my learning needs. What made the biggest difference for me was her technique of having me read the questions out loud—something that might seem simple, but it completely changed how I approached and broke down questions. Her insights helped me truly understand what each question was asking and how to think like the NCLEX.

I also purchased her book filled with her “nuggets” of wisdom, which became a go-to resource throughout my prep. Justine’s personalized instruction, encouragement, and focused strategies were absolutely instrumental in my success. The value she brings to anyone preparing for the NCLEX cannot be overstated. I highly recommend her to anyone serious about passing this exam.

March 2025, New Jersey

I am a repeat test taker and truly thought I would never pass. I worked with Justine for several months but still doubted myself. She is truly amazing!! If your ever doubting is it worth it, the answer is 100%!! Justine has a way of explaining the process and it truly makes a huge difference. My only regret is not finding her sooner. If you haven’t succeeded in your attempts to pass please try her!! You will not regret it.

NCLEX Repeat test taker
I can’t thank Justine Buick enough for helping me pass the NCLEX after six tries with near-pass scores. Her book, The NCLEX Tutor, was a huge help in nursing school. I wish I had reached out to her sooner! She quickly spotted my weaknesses and gave me the right strategies to improve. Her patience, support, and deep knowledge made all the difference. If you’re preparing for the NCLEX, even on your first try, don’t wait, reach out to her now! She’s amazing, and you won’t regret it!

I am writing this letter to express my deepest gratitude to Justine Buick for her incredible support and guidance in helping me pass the NCLEX-RN exam.

Before working with Justine, I struggled with confidence and felt overwhelmed by the vast amount of information required for the exam. However, her structured approach, expert knowledge, and personalized coaching made all the difference.

Justine’s teaching methods are truly exceptional. She provided me with clear strategies for answering NCLEX-style questions, helped me strengthen my critical thinking skills, and ensured that I focused on my weak areas. Her patience, encouragement, and dedication gave me motivation I needed to stay on track. She not only taught me how to study effectively but also instilled the confidence I needed to walk into the exam fully prepared.

Thanks to Justine’s guidance and unwavering support, I was able to pass my NCLEX-RN exam and achieve my dream of becoming a registered nurse. I highly recommend her services to any nursing student struggling to pass the NCLEX.
She is truly an outstanding mentor and educator who genuinely cares about her student’s success.

Thank you, Justine, for everything you have done for me. I couldn’t have done it without you!

I am so glad I came across this tutoring service. Beth gave me all the tips and strategies for tackling questions on the board exam. She patiently explained all the strategies available to help me select the most appropriate and safe answer. In five tutoring sessions, my test-taking skills have improved drastically. I was applying these strategies in the practice questions without being aware of using them. Because of this tutoring service, I passed my NCLEX on the first attempt and with 85 questions! ! If you are not a good test taker, this is the place to go!

March 2024, Texas

I was a multiple attempt test taker before reaching out to Justine. With the help of Justine and another tutor named Brian, I was able to pass the NCLEX in just 85 questions. Before our sessions together I was unfamiliar with good test taking strategies. Justine and Brian were able to pass on an arsenal of strategies that helped me make connections and easily eliminate questions I wouldn’t have before. These strategies coupled with being held accountable in tutoring sessions is exactly what I needed to pass the NCLEX. Also, the Nuggets Book that Justine recommends is very streamline with great mnemonics I had never heard. This really helped in areas I struggled with such as vaccination schedules and precautions.

February 2024, Minnesota

I would just like to begin with stating I wouldn’t have been able to pass without Justine’s and Beth’s help! Throughout my time trying to pass the NCLEX it would’ve been easy to get discouraged especially with previous failed attempts, but they didn’t let that happen. Justine made it her personal mission to help me pass (just like I’m sure she does with everyone). They made sure I didn’t lose hope and pushed me to be my best. When I finally got the “Pass” grade nobody was happier than Justine and Beth. They got me through it and to whoever is reading this they’ll get you though it too!

February 2024, New Jersey

I began working with the NCLEX Tutor during the summer before my final semester. I was struggling with Hesi and NGN and knew I needed help. Despite being a B+ student with generally good grades, my highest Hesi score was only 840. I lacked confidence that I would pass the NCLEX.

Fortunately, I discovered Justine and her tutor Beth, and they made a significant difference. I consistently met with my tutor throughout the semester, and she was truly a blessing. Thanks to her guidance, I not only made the Dean’s list but also improved my Hesi scores to over 1000 and successfully passed every NCLEX-style test. 

By utilizing the nugget book and working with my tutor, I gained a better understanding of what the questions were asking and how to approach NGN questions. I have dyslexia and have worked with various tutors before but none quite like Justine’s. Beth went above and beyond in her support for me. Whenever I didn’t understand something, she would patiently work with me, going the extra mile to ensure I understood the material. She created personalized test plans tailored to my needs and significantly boosted my confidence.

Ultimately, I passed the NCLEX in 85 questions, all thanks to Beth and Justine! 

February 2024, Florida

The first time I took the NCLEX I did not pass. I was not feeling confident at all my second time around, especially with my study habits. I knew I needed to change the way I studied but I didn’t know how.

Thankfully I found Justines tutoring. Justine kept me on a schedule that forced me to sit down and do the work. Im the type of person who thrives with a schedule so this helped me a lot. She gave practice quizzes and readiness test at the end of our 10 sessions. For each question I got wrong, she went over with me and explained each question. I feel this really helped being able to review questions and understand why I got a certain question wrong and my thinking behind it.

She helped me develop better test taking strategies as well. Due to her strategies and her nuggets, I learned to take my time and really focus on what the question is asking. Thankfully, with Justines help and guidance, I passed my Nclex on the second time! Justine was also very nice and attentive during out tutoring sessions.

If you are questioning getting a tutor, I highly suggest The NCLEX Tutor.

Beth is an amazing tutor she’s smart & patent. She was very flexible with my schedule. The material is straight to the point & matches well with Uworld questions. The nuggets was very easy to follow with the lectures & helped make taking practice questions was to understand stand. 

Beth, Thank you thank you so much for helping me get through this. I could not have done this without your help & believing in me. I appreciate you so much u have no idea what u have got me through thank you thank you thank you 

July 2022, California

I’m a repeat NCLEX test taker! What I did different the 2 nd time around, I came across a YouTube video of a someone talking about the “Nuggets Pages” and they were talking about how it was well written and well put together. Well, I bought it! It made everything make since.

I was all over the place with NCLEX buy this and that. The Nugget Pages caught my eye and when it arrived, I looked through it and loved how well the content was straight to the point and looking at the pictures and charts. I did do a review with another company and a Qbank as well. I was still missing something. I even tutored with other companies, and they just were in it for the money.

Long story short. I was really amazed at how much I did not know or remember with the test that is given by Justine! You would be surprised at yourself. So, I saw that this company offered tutoring and I saw a lady who went to the same University as myself and I knew I was on the right path. I signed up and asked for her to be my tutor. I got a call and we set up our first meeting and I loved it.

Jennifer and Justine are both awesome, I wished I would have known about this while in school this would have been very beneficial to me and saved me a lot of hours and sleepless nights. The Nuggets Pages accompanied with a tutor “game changer”. My tutoring was really customized to fit me! Content was my problem. Once I got my plan, I dedicated my time to my plan and stuck with it.

I met with my tutor Jennifer as the plan instructed and I was breaking down questions using the strategies given to me. Most importantly I really understood now what the question was asking. I went all the way back to the beginning “the basics” and worked my way up bridging the gap of lost content.

Now I took my exam and passed and will be working in the ICU department as a new grad RN, BSN. So many thanks to Jennifer and Justine.

June 2022, Michigan

My name is Rylee and I graduated in May of 2021 with my Bachelors in Nursing. I have never been a good test taker which has broken my confidence from the start of nursing school. I took the NCLEX a total of five times, and on the sixth time I was able to pass thanks to Justine, my tutor Beth, and the nugget pages!

I highly recommend this program to any repeat test taker who is struggling with content as well as strategies. I wish I would have found these two lovely ladies sooner! My cousin reached out to Justine and she called me to discuss where to go with the program. She was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable, even though I was so beaten down. She paired me up with Beth and I could not have been more excited.

Beth reached out to me via email and even called me to introduce herself and set up a time to meet. We met a total of ten times. Beth allowed me to choose what content and practice questions I wanted to go over based on the nugget pages. I loved how much freedom they provided me, however Beth provided so much structure with the content I chose for the week. I always struggled with the idea of a tutor because I did not want to feel belittled or as if I was not good enough. However, that was not the case with this program. Beth made me feel incredibly comfortable with each lesson and taught me so many strategies I was able to apply.

I was SO excited when I found out that I had passed with 75 questions! Both Beth and Justine followed up with me when I emailed them my results. Thank you for everything!

June 2022, Virginia

Lindsey, I just wanted to let you know that I received my results yesterday and I PASSED! Thank you for your support and encouragement. It has been a difficult road for me, but you made my dreams of becoming a nurse into a reality. I am so thankful I found The NCLEX Tutor!

May 2022, Massachusetts

My name is Cam and I graduated in December 2021 from an accelerated nursing program with my BSN. I didn’t pass my NCLEX twice before going to see Justine. I was so frustrated and unsure what I was doing wrong. I felt discouraged after the endless amount of practice questions I was doing and content videos I was watching. 

I went to her website to figure out what the issues were and developed test taking strategies that allowed me to think and approach the NCLEX questions like I never have before. I purchased the nugget pages book and got started tutoring with Lindsey. We were able to come up with a study plan so I could retake the exam and pass my third time so I can start my job on time. Every tutoring session was incredibly helpful and gave me more confidence going into the exam the third time. You know what they say: “Third times a charm.” I was able to compliment the videos Justine created with questions from the Nursing Mastery App that Justine and Lindsey suggested. I was all in and ready to pass. 

Don’t ever be afraid to ask for help. Reaching out and hiring a tutor was not the easiest thing for me, but looking back it was a great decision to help me reach my goal of becoming a Registered Nurse. Very grateful for Justine and Lindsey.

May 2022, Ohio

After two failed attempts at taking the NCLEX, I decided to get a tutor. I was lucky enough to get to tutor with Beth. Beth was amazing and so knowledgeable.

The entire program is so well put together and the nugget book was worth the purchase! I did the 15 hour package and learned so many strategies that I believe is what led to me passing on the third attempt in only 75 questions.

If you are looking for a patient tutor, Beth is the person for you. If you are considering tutoring at all, I couldn’t recommend this program enough. I wish now that I would have done it the first time around.

May 2022, Massachusetts

My name is Adriana and I graduated with my accelerated Bachelors in Nursing in 2021. I failed my NCLEX several times and became hopeless and discouraged after each attempt. I found The NCLEX tutor on Youtube and enjoyed watching Justine’s videos and strategies on how she tackled NCLEX questions. I went to her website and joined the waitlist. I was so excited when I was assigned my tutor Beth. I also purchased Justine’s nugget pages that complimented my sessions that I highly recommend.

I absolutely loved tutoring with Beth. The study plan and strategies we applied were very structured, organized and extremely helpful. I enjoyed every tutoring session. It narrowed in on my focus for studying and what my gaps in knowledge were. Beth and Justine were always there for me whenever I had questions and ultimately helped identify my strengths and weaknesses.  The classroom online had amazing resources as well, from Brainscape flashcards, videos and assessments. The assessments were challenging but so helpful in preparing for NCLEX.

If you struggle with test-taking like me, look no further. It was the best investment in my life. I am eternally grateful for Justine and Beth.

I wanted to let you know that I found out I passed my NCLEX in 145 questions!!!!! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all your help, the wonderful Nugget Pages, the subscription to Brainscape flashcards, the content review videos;

after failing twice at 75, all the resources you provided were instrumental in my passing this third and final attempt. I am still crying happy tears!!! I really couldn’t have done it without you and Heather :))))) You both had confidence in me right from the beginning and I am truly grateful for that. Again thank you, thank you, thank you 

May 2022, New York/Jerusalem

I just passed my NCLEX on my 3rd attempt and Justine is the one who got me there!  As I was taking my NCLEX and I was going through each questions I felt so calm and confident because of Justine. I remember at questions 75 I was about the press next and I had this gut feeling that I had already passed and it would shut off because I really used her strategies combined with all the content I went over. And then I pressed next and my test shut off, it was such a great feeling. Even though I didn’t get my result at that point I already knew I had passed and I was right, I did! 

The first time I took the NCLEX i used a different online tutoring company and I was a little disappointed with what I was paying for, but I didn’t know any better. After using The NCLEX Tutor I know that the other tutor was a complete waste of time and money. The other 2 times I took the NCLEX I  studied and did practice questions but the difference between the first 2 times and 3rd time I took it is that I did not have the strategies that Justine teaches and engrains in you. Her strategies just make sense and the more you do questions using her strategies the easier the questions become. She is so knowledgable in nursing information and specifically in NCLEX content. Justine motivates you and works with you. Her nugget pages are priceless, they are straight forward and thorough without being overwhelming, I loved using them to study. 

Each session Justine gives you her undivided attention, whether she is doing questions with you, reviewing specific content, or creating a study plan. While working with Justine I felt that she really cared about me and wanted me to do well. One thing that stands out to me about Justine over other tutors is that she never ended the sessions abruptly when our time was up, she would always give me an extra few minutes and never rushed me when we would come up with a plan till our next session. 

Justine is the best tutor I have ever met, she is really special.

I am so grateful to have been recommended using Justine as my NCLEX tutor, i wish I has used her the first time I took my test! 

April 2022, Indiana

There are no words to describe how forever grateful I will be to The NCLEX tutor.

I graduated nursing school a year ago, and personally I knew my school did not prepare me well enough to take my NCLEX so I knew this was going to be challenging, but not that challenging.

After graduation, I enrolled in Kaplan’s virtual class. Therefore, I did three full days of online review which was helpful, it taught me what they call the “Decision Tree”. So, I studied that for a few weeks or so and did some questions then took the test. I got all 145 questions, it was difficult but I thought I got all the questions so I have a chance. I was wrong, and devastated it took a full week to recover mentally and emotionally to start the whole roller coaster over again.

My second attempt, I had bought UWorld and Archer Review. Taking notes and making flashcards, and studying then studying some more. I even did a few days crash studying with a friend who already passed the NCLEX. I really thought I had it this time, I was so confident. I understood the main components/ideas for each disease or disorder, meds, how things worked together in the body and what affect they had when things changed. I understood both the big and small pictures of all different systems. However, another fail at 145 questions.

I literally did not know where to turn, and I mean I had no idea. The only thing I could think of was private tutoring. I had done the private class tutoring and that didn’t work so I was like I need one-on-one. I don’t care the cost, I just need someone to help me figure out why I am not passing this test when I understand the information. So, I headed to google, the first group I came upon was EZ NCLEX Tutoring they got in contact with me right away through chat, and said they had an immediate opening. However, I decided to keep looking and the next group

I came upon was The NCLEX Tutor. It seemed like a great little company and a decent amount of reviews. So, I was like okay The NCLEX Tutor it is; however, there was a waitlist. So, I put my name down, all I had to do was wait. But I was desperate to pass my NCLEX, so I was like I can’t wait so I signed up with EZ NCLEX Tutoring. Let me tell you BIG SCAM!!!!!!!!! HORRIBLE NEVER GO TO THEM!!!!

After 8 weeks of being scammed and my confidence draining, I heard back from The NCLEX Tutor founder, Justine. She called and talked to me for a half hour about what I had done, and really just let me vent. She suggested I go session by session, and see how things go and I could always add more with my same original price.

Justine assigned me a tutor, Lindsey she was new but Justine had great confidence in her. My first session I had both Justine and Lindsey in the session we went over questions by question, and they said you can totally do this we just need to work on a few things. Every session I felt more confident. Lindsey was so patient with me, and answered every question I would have she would give me suggestions on what to review and how to answer all types of questions. Justine’s tips on answering questions are amazing, and Lindsey taught me how to apply and use every tip. Justine’s nugget pages is the best review book, it is so organized and full of all the minimum information you need to know for the NCLEX. It has tips, tricks, pneumonics, and lots of pictures for visual learners.

Justine also has study plans and outlines for you to follow if needed that to correlate to her nugget pages. I found that so helpful when tutoring with Lindsey we would figure out what subjects to study together for the week, and also what nugget pages to study if I had trouble with a certain NCLEX subject such as Basic Care and Comfort. Justine also created voice over videos of her nugget pages, which allowed you to listen and read anytime you wanted.

Along with Justine’s program you get a three-month free access to Brainscape flashcards, another aspect I loved of her program. These flashcards included what I felt like everything from every single nugget page. I rewrote all her flashcards…. Over 3,000 and reviewed them which I found extremely helpful, the concepts just ended up sticking with me easier that way.

My tutor Lindsey, was incredible she would answer any question I had good or bad. She really became the person I relied on for confidence and knowledge all things NCLEX. I came out of ever session feeling better, even my parents could tell the difference in me after every session. During my time tutoring with Lindsey, I lost my grandpa and that really took a toll on me and Lindsey was so supportive and was very blunt with saying we need to push your date back a week or two. She could tell just over Zoom how I needed that extra time, how stressed and overwhelmed I was but she was always thinking what was best for me to accomplish my goal.

Lindsey and Justine were ALWAYS in constant contact with each other to personalize your tutoring needs and to keep assessing your needs. Lindsey really went above and beyond to be there for me when I needed her the most. I really appreciated this because towards the end, I was unsure if I was ready and I knew I couldn’t go through not passing again. But Lindsey would reassure me that Justine and her thought I was ready. And they were right, I passed at 145 questions!! I was so thrilled and ecstatic, I was finally a nurse, and I really couldn’t have done it without finding The NCLEX tutor.

Essentially, Justine has really just thought out this whole program on what will make it easiest for her students and her tutors to accomplish the end goal of passing the NCLEX. Throughout this program, you feel a real sense of family standing with you through the process wanting you to succeed and cheering you on. I will forever be grateful for what the NCLEX program, Justine, and Lindsey did for me, they are truly the reason I passed my NCLEX.

April 2022, New Mexico

JUSTINE!!!!! I think Beth already contacted you and let you know I PASSED. Beth is the only person I have told so far; I think I am still in disbelief and hoping it’s not just a dream. I think I have checked the NMBON 10 times. I can’t thank you enough for the program you have created, the book, the flashcards and most importantly the most amazing, supportive, smart, kind and patient tutor/cheerleader!! I feel beyond blessed to have been set up with Beth and I just can’t thank you enough. You and Beth helped me make my dream a reality and I am so beyond grateful. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul!!

I passed!!! Thank you guys for everything!!! Justine, thank you for having an awesome nclex study guide that helped me understand the difficult topics by explaining it in such simple ways. Just straight to the point without the BS, which I loved.

Heather, thank you so much for being an awesome tutor by helping me apply the test-strategies to the questions and getting me to stop overthinking things hahaha. Thank you guys just for being nice and so helpful with the whole process.

March 2022, Canada

My name is Wendy and I graduated with my Bachelors of Nursing in 2020.  I have been working as a RPN for 7 years prior to writing my exam but for some reason I struggles to pass the NCLEX.

I was a repeat test taker, with each failed attempt making me feel more and more like a failure. A friend once told me that I needed to stop looking at failing this exam as failure. I was told “It’s not failure, you just learned the answers to the wrong questions.” It was this message of support that lead me to Justine’s tutoring Service. Justine and my tutor Beth, had faith in me right from the beginning. Through their assessments we were able to determine that I struggled most with testing strategies.

Each week we reviewed content with a focus on specific strategies for answering NCLEX style questions.  Being able to talk out my rationales with Beth helped me gain the confidence I needed, by ensuring me that, I was on the right track with my thinking and assessments. I am so happy to announce that I have passed The NCLEX on my 4^th attempt and I am confident that I would not be saying this to you today if I did not have the help and support for both of these ladies.

I would recommend their services to anyone studying for the first time or to anyone who is a repeat test taker like myself. I can promise you that you will not be disappointed.

March 2022, Georgia

Thank you to the best tutor, Justine at The NCLEX TUTOR. Justine helped me through a 16 month of nursing program and the NCLEX. Switching career to nursing was not an easy decision.  During the program and the NCLEX, it was challenging.

Justine’s tutoring helped me with understanding testing strategies, contents, many things. We completed several sessions. When it was time for the NCLEX, she tutor me again. Her study plan and calendar for prepping for the NCLEX was GREAT and EFFECTIVE. I was able to pass the NCLEX and start nursing residency. 

To me she is not only my tutor, also a mentor. Mentor who is always willing to help and guide you to be the best RN and person. Thank you Justine for helping and your continue support through this journey.

By the way, I was the first person to buy her amazing NCLEX book. The book make easy utilize through school and the NCLEX. THANK YOU! 

March 2022, New York

I wouldn’t have been able to pass my NCLEX on my second attempt without the help of Justine and my tutor Beth. They created a customized study plan based on my own needs and prepared me in a way that I would not have been able to do on my own.

Beth was an amazing tutor and very helpful in teaching not only vital information but throughly explaining test taking strategies as well.

Justines nugget pages are fantastic and I highly recommend using it study. Because of them, I can finally call myself a RN!

Again, thank you for everything and now I can officially start my journey as a nurse!

February 2022, Virginia

I could not be more thankful for all of the help my tutor, Beth, gave me! Because of the knowledge and confidence I gained from her, I was able to pass the NCLEX in 75 questions.

I couldn’t have done it without her! She always came to our sessions with such a positive attitude and I truly felt that she cared about my success. The study plan she created put me on the right track and the Nugget Pages were also amazing to help learn content that might seem overwhelming.

Very excited to say that I am now an R.N.

February 2022, Ohio

After trying THREE different tutors (Mark Kilmec, Kaplan Nursing, and Think NCLEX) I found Justine and she was by far the best tutor of all!

After studying for almost 6 months with the other programs and still not passing I decided to try Justine’s program and it was the best decision I’ve ever made for my future. Her one on one tutoring is really a game changer when prepping for the NCLEX. She breaks down questions with you and really dives deep into the thought process behind picking the right answer and showing you how to use strategies to get to that right answer. The one on one tutoring coupled with her AMAZING nugget pages was worth every penny.

I absolutely hate pharmacology and the nugget pages really broke them down into a format that made it really easy for me to remember. All of the other content in the book was amazing as well and definitely helped me brush up on commonly asked about topics on the NCLEX. I owe my future career as a nurse to Justine and her team!

If you are considering an NCLEX tutor do not hesitate to book with Justine she will change your life and confidence!

February 2022, Texas

WOAH!! 

That is the first thought that comes to mind when I think about Justine! She is absolutely amazing!!! She truly cares and attempts to get to know you during your tutoring session. I already have severe test anxiety and add taking NCLEX to that mix, I was stressed beyond belief. I can’t even remember all the different types of NCLEX books, classes, study guides, and test-taking strategies books and classes I invested in to attempt to pass. I had already missed out on a job opportunity and was not allowed to continue my RN to BSN program until I passed boards. To say I was stressed and had so much carrying on this test, is putting it lightly. Then I found Justine!!!

At first I did the webinars, thinking that this would be like the other NCLEX test strategy classes I had already attempted. BOY WAS I WRONG!! 

From the very first webinar, I knew I had wasted all my time and spent so much money on the other things I had tried. 

I found Justin’s webinars just in time. I was coming down from using another program that I found very hard & challenging. It made me doubt not only if I knew my content, but also myself as a student and as I nurse. I had taken repeated CATs on this program all saying I would fail the NCLEX. I took some time to have a pity party for myself. I was going on 3 months of graduating and seeing all my friends and classmates pass, while I was over here with the probability of failing. 

Finding Justine was a complete Godsend! The webinars, which I watched later since I work nights, helped me to see how and why I was answering questions wrong. I was also going over the nugget book, which helped me to fill in missing content. 

My NCLEX was scheduled for the end of January, right before a Bachelorette weekend with my friends so I could either drown my sorrows or celebrate. The webinars ended at the end of November. I attempted to continue going over the nugget book and answer questions from my test bank on Board Vitals, but I noticed I was going back to my old habits of answering questions. I knew this would not work for me. So I reached out to Justine for tutoring at the beginning of January. She was amazing and with only a few weeks until my test, she worked with my crazy night schedule to met with me 1 or 2 times a week. 

I really appreciated how she always helped to make me feel confident about myself. She never made me feel ashamed for missing questions or when I was going over why I picked the answer I did. She always gave me pointers and ended each tutoring session with positives that I did and things I needed to work on. 

I remember my last tutoring session, it was a few days before my test. I wanted 1 more session and Justine kept reassuring me that I would do fine and it would all be great. She had no doubt that I would pass and her confidence in me helped me so much! 

She was the 2nd person I text, right after my mom of course, with my good news. There really are not enough words to begin to explain how amazing Justine is. I am forever grateful to her that I can finally say I am an RN!

February 2022, Illinois

After hearing about everyone in my graduating nursing class pass the NCLEX on their first attempts, I thought for sure I would also pass. Unfortunately, that is not what happened.

I looked into different tutors (varsity, ez tutors), different question banks (Kaplan, uworld) , hard copy review books for content (saunders, hurst), anything I could think of to help me pass this exam. Nothing seemed to work. After taking all 145 questions on the exam three times, I felt lost and confused about why I could not pass this exam after being so close and still failing every time. I wanted to give up. I was beginning to lose hope of passing so I didn’t know why I should keep trying.

But then I found Justine, who to my surprise was the only thing I actually needed to succeed. She worked with me 1:1 for 14 one hour sessions via zoom. She made me read questions out loud so she could understand the way my brain works and individualize a study plan that best suited me, unlike the other tutoring platforms I tried that were generalized. She provided me with practice questions, covering every NCLEX topic as well as feedback to why certain answers were correct over others I may have chosen, taking the time to explain it to make sure I understood. She took the time to understand me and the way I learn and process information so I could retain the information and actually apply it. Most importantly, she taught me test taking strategies!

My biggest problem was not being able to identify how to properly answer the question based on the way NCLEX wants you to think. After learning and applying the strategies, I was able to get above a 70% on all 4 practice exams I took before my fourth NCLEX attempt (keep in mind before working with Justine, I was barely getting consistent 50% on practice tests). I also did review on my own with Nursing.com question bank to keep practicing and applying the strategies, which was helpful in increasing my test taking confidence and reducing my anxiety.

Thanks to Justine I was able to finally pass the NCLEX on my fourth attempt in 89 questions! I am forever thankful to Justine for taking the time to work with me and cater to my individual needs. She literally is the best at this! – Ashley

I greatly enjoyed the service I experienced with The NCLEX Tutor. The nugget pages are very bite size and was enough to use in a sustainable way along with other question bank services (in my case UWorld). Beth and Justine are the two best things that have happened to me, and I cannot thank them enough for giving me their precious time to help me though the process. I completed my education here in the US, but English is my second language and Beth was patient with me and teaching me to slow down especially when I make reading errors. 

The day of the test, I was well rested, took 4 long breaks, and did not rush myself at all. It took me a little over 2 hours to complete the exam and passed in 75 questions. The not panicking when I saw similar questions, and I wrote down the test taking strategies down on the side and I went though 4 whiteboards. I feel very fortunate that I was able to find them and get the help that I needed. Now I am in a DNP program and I will continue to use the test taking strategies for all my tests moving forward. 

Mahalo for all the help and thank you for having such an awesome service!

I tried various different study resources and none of them seemed to work for me. I am so glad that I chose to work with Justine. She is the best, hands down! I have always struggled with standardized testing, and Justine’s test-taking strategies were exactly what I needed. They helped me weed out the bad answers and narrow it down to the correct answers, especially with SATA questions. I loved that she was honest with me about content areas that I needed to study more, and that she used repetition during our sessions to help me remember the content that wasn’t sticking.

I highly recommend using her Nugget Pages book! It is very well organized and easy to follow. It is straight and to the point, which is exactly what you need when reviewing for the NCLEX. She has lots of mnemonics in the book that will help you remember difficult concepts.

Spend the money and don’t hesitate to work with Justine. She is WORTH it and will help you be confident and successful on your next NCLEX attempt.

December 2021, Canada

I want to say a big thank you to Justine for her support towards my passing of the nclex-RN exam.

 As an Internationally educated Nurse, I was lost in my nclex preparations. I tried to study on my own using Uworld, Hurst and Saunders and failed the Nclex on first try. I really needed help and reached out to a few friends to see if they could point me to some online resources and tutorials. Although the suggestions were helpful, none of them was able to meet my need. I continued my search online and that is where I found Justine. After my first conversation with her, I knew she was the one I have been looking for some time and so decided to go ahead with her tutorials.

Justine gave me the confidence and the knowledge I needed to write this exam. Since I had my nursing education in Africa with a different health context, it was difficult for me to tackle some of the questions. Justine taught me the strategies needed in solving questions. She also provided me with her NUGGET PAGES which was lifesaving. I had used other books initially but truly, all I needed was the NUGGET PAGES. In addition, her 12-week study plan helped me greatly. I also used the mastery app, archers and flash cards from brainscape which was recommended by Justine.

Besides the strategies provided by Justine, she is also very caring, patient, a great teacher and mentor. I love how she encourages you to keep pushing hard. Now here I am all happy because I passed my nclex.

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, Justine. I will definitely recommend her to anyone seeking for help with Nclex.

Exceeding expectations!

Justine is by far the BEST tutor ever. Her professionalism, patience, love for teaching and expertise in her subject is above and beyond phenomenal. She is absolutely amazing!!

Justine’s positive reinforcement and encouragement exceeds all expectations. 

She helped solidify my weakness and strengths. We built on my weaknesses and went over each disease state with pointing out important key points. She isolated important things for me to focus on. Overall it was a great experience and would highly recommend Justine!

I failed boards once and couldn’t understand what I did wrong because I knew the content. I was looking for a tutor and after looking at Justine’s reviews I signed up. The best decision I ever made; after 5 private sessions and attending Justine’s webinar, I took boards and was very comfortable. I PASSES BOARDS on second time.  Thank you Justine’s from the bottom of my heart, I know I could not have done this without you!

I am finally a Registered Nurse! Thanks to Justine I was able to better understand the NCLEX style questions. I am grateful to have found her. She is by far one of the most devoted teachers that I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She makes sure to know what type of studying works best for you to ensure that she can explain the content in ways best suited for your learning style.

I would also recommend her book ‘Nugget Pages’; this condensed, yet very informative book helped me analyse each system and topic needed for the NCLEX exam. Her patience, dedication, honesty, encouragement and overall support gave me the extra boost of confidence that I needed in order to pass the exam.

If you are someone who is struggling with the NCLEX, I highly recommend reaching out to Justine, she is truly amazing at what she does! 

September 2021, North Carolina

I was never a good test taker throughout nursing school so going into this test. I just was not good with the type of questions that nursing school throws at you! However, after 5 TRIES, I passed the NCLEX!!!!

I would not have been able to pass the NCLEX without the help of Justine. I had tried just about every NCLEX study plan and still didn’t help me as much as Justine! She was able to help me more than all of the plans together!  She is the best resource for this exam by giving me strategies I could use for every question to decrease stress while I was in there. I was recommended to her by a friend and choosing to work with her was the best decision.

You can pass the NCLEX and Justine is the person to help you get there! 

June 2021, Indiana

I want to thank Justine for helping me build back my confidence which allowed me to push forward and finally pass. This was at a time when I was left so overwhelmed, defeated and wanted to give up.

I used every resource possible, including Kaplan, the Mark Klimek’s in person review, Saunders, and uworld!! Her one on one tutor sessions are a game changer. She is able to break down complex topics so any one can understand the details and shows you how to find the critical information to study & help prepare you for the tests.

She is truly an angel sent from above. Thank you Justine for believing in me and never giving up!

June 2021, Illinois

I am elated to finally be able to call myself a registered nurse, and I couldn’t have done it without Justine and the help of her Nugget Pages. She is truly the best!

I was a repeat test taker, with six years out of school, and the constant feeling of defeat. Justine’s encouragement, patience, simplified content, and test taking strategies were the game changer for me and what carried me across the finish line.

Thanks to Justine I was able to regain my confidence and pass the NCLEX!

I took the nclex twice and was feeling hopeless and stuck,I felt there was no way out.  So I decided to find a tutor. I found Justine website and read her reviews so I decided to try and say why not I tried everything else.

After talking to Justine and having the first session with her. I saw what I was doing wrong Justine helped me with not just knowing the content but how to apply what I know as well. Justine showed me that you don’t need to know everything to pass nclex. Her strategies of linking answers and looking for the killer answer for who do see first question and priority questions.  helped me so much when I was stuck. Also what helped me was getting rid of extreme answers.

Justine was the guidance I needed to finally pass nclex. Thrid time I passed with 75 questions. I supplemented her nugget pages with the Saunders book for content. I recommend at least read the green boxes in the Saunders if you are pressed for time. I used saunders and the nclex mastery app. Remember content with strategy is key after sessions with Justine I felt confident with her content and strategies and understood how to approach nclex style questions.

Justine told me when it doubt go with your gut and that’s exactly what I did and I passed with 75. Thank you Justine I definently recommended her as a tutor she will give you the guidance you need to pass.              

June 2021, California

I had taken the test before I met Justine and reluctant to seek help from tutors because I don’t want to be embarrassed but Justine was amazing. She is ready to take you from where you are to the next level, test taken strategy was amazing.

Justine schedule plan and nugget pages make it easy to review, build up my contents level and recognized my weakness. I persistently using the test taken strategy to identify “killer answer” I used the strategies on several question bank such as Uworld, Nurseachieve (CAT), Saunders and Archer (assessment test/CAT) and did multiple questions. it was very helpful.

“I PASSED CLEAN OVER NCLEX”. Thank you Justine for your help to actualize my dream.

June 2021, Ontario

Shout-out also to Justine Buick, no words can express how thankful I am for your guidance and patience throughout the process. Thank you for always being honest and for always letting me know on the things that I should improve on. I really couldn’t done it without your guidance.

Thank you for always being so considerate that despite of the initial plan of 3 months of tutor sessions, it took 7 months for the preparation. You always consider your student’s pacing as well and that is what I really appreciate the most. Thank you for your unending patience and support until to the day of my exam. Thank you for teaching me the ‘things that I should know and concentrate on’ plus the ‘test taking strategies’ that you shared with me. It really helped me a lot in order to ace the NCLEX Exam. 

May 2021, Tennessee

Justine was the best thing that happened to me post grad!! I took the NCLEX twice before I started tutoring with her! I did about 6 sessions with her and it was amazing. I took the NCLEX with 145 questions both times, and then passed in 75 the third time around!

When I started with her, I felt super defeated, overwhelmed, and was so lost. I thought I was studying well on my own, but Justine really helped find a way that worked best for me. We went over strategies, questions, and different topics I needed help on. It was really nice to have someone make a schedule and hold me accountable! I also purchased her nugget pages!

I used her nugget pages and uworld qbank the most! I HIGHLY recommend Justine and if you are doubting it, don’t!! She will help you get through it and you can do it!! -Taylor”

May 2021, Washington

Justine, Thank you so much for helping me PASS THE NCLEX! You gave me the confidence I needed to PASS NCLEX the 4^th and final time! 

After failing NCLEX  three times, feeling like no resource I used would help me (Uworld & Kaplan) and just overall feeling defeated– I knew I had to do something different about my studying the 4^th time around. I went online and started searching for tutors. I was hesitant, because I’ve never worked with a tutor in my life and was worried that it wouldn’t work out especially since it was on zoom, but after reading her awesome reviews by previous students, I knew she was the ANSWER. I was so excited!

While tutoring with Justine, I also used the NCSBN 7 week study plan (I totally recommend it & would recommend the 10 week study plan) to review content for the NCLEX. I also bought her Nugget Pages, its like a mini book of everything you need to know for NCLEX. For about two months, I put myself on a strict study schedule, with minimal distractions and met with Justine at least once a week. I booked 8 sessions with Justine, but I would highly recommend buying at least 10 sessions with her to really build the confidence and practice answering questions using the strategies that she teaches you.. No one will invest in your future like you will, so I invested in tutoring with Justine. 

I had the best experience and my world changed when I finally passed the NCLEX.. If you are reading this-look no further(!) and finally book tutor sessions with Justine! She is so kind, smart, patient and the best NCLEX tutor out there!!! 

May 2021, Florida

The first time I took the NCLEX I failed in 60 questions. I was devastated. I had used every resource possible for my first attempt and anything recommended by my friends. I had too many resources. I spent months trying to figure out a solution or what I was going to do to pass this test.

So, I came across a YouTube video made by Dee N’ Dee about Justine. I was like that’s my door to passing this test. I sent Justine an email she didn’t have availability at the time, I decided to wait. When Justine sent me the email and told me she had an availability, I jumped at the opportunity.

Then a couple months later of hard work, I passed my NCLEX-RN on April of 2021 with 75 questions thanks to Justine. I followed her plan diligently, attended some of her webinars, and purchased her Nugget pages which is my golden resource!!! I will continue to use her Nugget pages as a new nurse grad and when I start working.

“I graduated nursing school in May and was eager to take the NCLEX soon after. Being that I was pregnant and expecting the baby’s arrival in August, I was in a hurry to get the exam over with. Although I had done well in nursing school and had taken several review courses, I was not confident enough that I would pass the NCLEX on the first try. While talking to a friend she mentioned Justine Buick had helped her after she had failed on her first try. I figured i would try reaching out and hoped for the best. I emailed Justine and she contacted me the next day and we made an appointment to meet. The meeting was the best thing ever. I learned how to answer questions using strategy as opposed to only using known content. We did questions together and formulated a study plan. Throughout studying I got overwhelmed several times. I emailed Justine and she encouraged me to keep studying and gave me tips and resources that were really helpful. We had 4 sessions together and I felt extremely confident a few weeks before my exam. I even rescheduled the exam date to take it earlier. When I came to the exam I sat down and thought “it’s as if I’m doing practice questions”. I went through each question using the strategies that I had been taught. For example- where am I and what kind of nurse am I? Is there a time frame? Are there any killer answers? These were just a few of the tricks that helped me eliminate answers. When I was left with 2 choices I would then think “which one has a better outcome?” And I would choose the best option. After 1 hour and 15 minutes and 75 questions, the computer shut off. I had passed the exam, thanks to Justine Buick for all the support and for giving me the confidence I needed to be successful.”

“When I initially took the NCLEX I went to Two-hundred and thirty questions, and I ran out of time. Luckily I found Justine. Justine thoroughly understood what areas I needed help in. She set up a plan for execution and it definitely led to success. I simply followed her instruction step by step. Her “nugget notes”, and “saunders” were of great help. Her guidance made the questions on the NCLEX very understandable, and clear. She made sure I was consistent with my work and comfortable with all types of questions. She went above and beyond to ensure I had the tools/knowledge needed to pass, also working me into her schedule. The 2nd time I took the NCLEX I passed answering only Seventy-five questions! I can not emphasize enough regarding what a great help, mentor, and tutor Justine was. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for the same results. PASS!!!!”

“I reached out to Justine after failing my NCLEX exam twice. I was unsure what I was doing wrong and why I couldn’t answer the questions right. Working with Justine helped to to break down the questions and understand what they were asking. She provides a safe environment where you both work to identify your weakness and develop strategies to address them. The one thing that really worked for me was developing lists of things I did not know when I got questions wrong, called nugget pages. It was extremely helpful in directing my learning. If you have the chance, attend a group seminar as it helps to learn with other people.”

“Whether you are first time test taker, a recent graduate, or have already taken the exam before, choosing to tutor with Justine will change your life. At first I was skeptical, but after emailing with her about her student pass rate and reading her online testimonials I decided to start tutoring with her. After a few sessions, I realized how I was answering questions had changed. It made me realize I had not had a strategy when answering questions, I was just answering them. Justine taught me test taking strategies and prioritization skills I know I will take with me throughout my career. 
I took all of Justine’s med webinars and ECG lectures and she broke down the material in a way that was easy to understand and remember! She tailored our tutoring to my needs and what I needed to improve on. I am sure that without her help I would not have realized what I was doing wrong. She taught me about Nugget Pages which helped me focus. I was not sure if I would ever know enough content, or be prepared enough mentally for the NCLEX but Justine helped me build my confidence! 
I also used the Saunders NCLEX book and U-World to pass on my second try!”

“After 4 years of completing nursing school and failing the NCLEX 3 times i knew that i had to change something. I had done Hurst Live, Hurst Online , Kaplan Online etc. You name it I’ve tried it. I decided to google to see what other alternatives were there so i came across Justine’s name. What drowned me to her was that she had helped a Canadian Student passed the CRNE in Canada (Canadian version of Nclex). Since my nursing degree was from Canada I reached out to her and told her my dilemma. She was booked and begged her to put me on her waiting list. Long story short , we did 14 sessions, 5 webinars and all of uworlds questions. If there is anybody out there reading this that needs help with passing Nclex this is your girl. She is the Nclex “god”. She got all the tools you need to help you pass if you willing to put in a little work. I was able to pass in 55mins with 75 questions. Did all that with 2 kids below 3 and if you counting my husband 3 kids lol. You know how men are. But on a serious note if i can do it you can. English is not even my first language. Now Justine I don’t think I can find the right words to thank you for what you have done for my family and I. God bless you and your family beyond measure. May He shine His face on you and Grant you all your heart desire. I thank you, thank you, thank you. Gods Blessings to you

“Hi Justine, Just letting you know I took the exam on the 27th and just found out that I passed! Thank you sooooo much for your help. I got 77 questions. For sure your strategies regarding picking answers that are killer answers definitely helped. You also helped me point out key elements in the questions as far as ages, things like “saturated with blood vs tinged” that helped ALOT.

Thanks for everything and for your help with how to breakdown the questions and how to come up with the correct answers. The sessions we had really helped me a lot!! I did UWorld questions as well and that helped a lot. The rationales really explain why the answer was the correct one..

“THANK YOU!!!
Justine is the REAL deal. I graduated back in 2014 and finally passed my NCLEX exam May 2017, three years later! I was starting to give up on myself, exhausting all my options, feeling depressed, and hearing it from everyone, “When will you pass?” or “Are you even studying?” Being diagnosed with dyslexia sure didn’t make things any easier. It was only then, when God sent me an angel, Justine, to tutor me is when everything started to make sense. I’m not too sure how many sessions I had done but all I know is that every cent I paid was 100% worth it. Don’t get me wrong, you can’t just show up and expect her to do all the work, you have to put in the time. I did 75 questions a day (on Uworld) and reviewed for a good 4 to 5 hours. I also bought the new Saunders book and went over the chapters Justine assigned. My test scores were in the low 40-45 range but towards the end it jumped to an average of 65. My advice is to find out what works for you to retain content because this is very important. For me, it was watching videos and taking notes. Watching and listening to Justine’s webinars really helped a lot. Don’t give up because like me, you will get that PASS on your test with the help of Justine. Thank you again Justine for all your help, you have certainly changed my life and I can’t thank you enough.
P.S. If you need a prayer before you test look up Saint Joseph of Cupertino.”

“Prior to contacting Justine, I did a lot of research for help tackling my NCLEX after I had taken it a few times and was unsuccessful. Being that I felt like I was close to passing, I wasn’t sure where to begin. Justine is very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional from the get-go. Not only did she help me gain confidence, but she also helped me PASS. I am so thankful that I decided to get out of my comfort zone and reach out to Justine. She is nothing less than amazing! Thanks again Justine!”

“To whomever may be researching a tutor-
          I am not the type of guy for writing reviews, look at my amazon account, a billion purchases and no reviews! BUT, I passed my NCLEX recently, thanks in LARGE part to Ms. Justine Buick.
          I had a solid knowledge base that I did not necessarily believe in. I had hired a tutor before Justine and failed the NCLEX in 265 questions. We studied a TON of content, reviewing 200+ questions a week, 50 or so with the tutor, then 150+ I was “assigned” during the week. Brutal and demoralized would be how I describe those 5+ hours of testing after all that studying.
I have quite intense test anxiety, so having gotten that far, I felt that may be the closest I ever get to passing, and it was hard to see the positive in the situation. I did not want to hire another tutor as it obviously hadn’t worked previously.
          My Dad did a LOT of research and came to me with Justine’s website and description of her approach. Her approach was different, not in a negative way, but in a way that made me think it may work. It was more test strategy based as opposed to content based. We have ALL gotten through nursing school somehow, right? So why review content since a lot of the NCLEX is very new and likely never covered in school. The testing strategy is key, not the content.
          Like I said, I had doubts about my content knowledge going into my sessions with Justine, but they were quickly put to rest. I passed the NCLEX in the minimum 75 questions after 7 quick sessions with Justine. After each session I got a recap and feel for where we stand. Before my NCLEX she let me know whether I was ready or not; hint- I was ready.
          It is nice to be proved wrong about something that can really debilitate your life- Like failing the biggest exam of your life. NOTHING matches the feeling on conquering that negativity. And this is from a guy who doesn’t tend to write reviews. Considering I changed my life by hiring Justine, and now the world is my oyster… I would do it again, knowing that my stress level would be much much better, and knowing that I CAN conquer seemingly impossible tasks.
          Now, I have less hypertension worries since my heart rate and blood pressure are back down to normal levels. Don’t do that to yourselves. If you find yourself on this page LOOKING for a tutor, you are like me… Don’t hesitate, ease your mind, hire someone to help conquer this road block in front of your chosen career. There is no shame in getting help from time to time. I wish I thought like that a long time ago. YOU can pass the exam, you just may need some tweaking. Get that friendly nudge, that little bit of help before you pay for the exam numerous times. Get that blood pressure and sense of accomplishment sooner. Justine WILL help, and be very honest and forthcoming from the get go. Help yourself. Good luck to anyone reading this. You can and will get there. Enjoy the career you have ahead!

“I started out using Hurst, Kaplan, Lippincott, and other NCLEX review books and practice questions, but I was not able to pass the NCLEX. In fact, I failed a couple times. I was discouraged, but then I was lucky enough to find Justine. Justine has a great way of attacking NCLEX style questions and she gave me all the tips and strategies to get the questions right. Unlike all the other reviews that I completed, Justine’s nugget pages made sense to me and helped me organize my studying. I can’t explain in words about how great I felt after passing the NCLEX. Justine truly cares about the students she works with and wants them to succeed and become great nurses. I would highly recommend that people work with Justine before taking the NCLEX, that way you will surely pass the first time and not have to go through the stress of failing!! Thanks again for everything Justine. I am officially an RN and I owe it all to you!!”

“Hi! Passed the NCLEX yesterday!! Thank you for everything. Your tutoring is invaluable, you truly are an expert. I will keep sending people your way! I truly do prefer and believe that you are better than any review program.”

“I finished nursing school December of 2013, I was so excited to have finished and finally was getting ready to take the NCLEX – RN. I studied my butt off went to take the test and came out of the testing center knowing that I did not pass. Went home did the Person vue trick which went straight to the credit card page I was devastated and I refused to believe it so I waited until I got my results and it said “FAILED”. This went on for another three times with the same results, nothing had changed except for the amount of questions that I would receive and now its 2016. After the failure of my fourth attempt my sister tired of me crying on the phone to her did some research and called me with her plan. “Justine Buick, the NCLEX tutor” I went online and looked her up, her pass rate was awesome and there was testimonials on her site from people like me. So I had my sister contact her,Justine was so nice to work with she taught me the correct way of looking at NCLEX questions and she worked with my availability. I did everything she told me to do, finally I scheduled my test in January of 2017 and went to take it. This time I didn’t have the “I’m so scared” feeling that I always had. The only thing I felt was “I can’t wait to get this over with”, when I completed the NCLEX I went home and did the Pearson vue trick and got the good pop up, I was so excited I called my sisters and told them and I waited until I got the quick results to call Justine and tell her.She was so happy for me, I never could have passed without her. I really wish that I had contacted her far in advance because it would of saved me loads of tears.”

“When I was given Justine’s name I had failed the NCLEX multiple times at 76 questions and at 265 and I had also been out of school for about three years. My confidence was practically non-existent. I had taken the ATI review, Kaplan Review, studied hundreds of questions, purchased multiple books and apps for my phone. From my first session with Justine I knew that I was given such a gift by being put in touch with her. I always knew the areas I struggled in but never knew how to really target my studying. Justine introduced me to the Nugget Page, kept me focused, was able to recognize my strengths, weaknesses and knowledge deficits. Justine offered me so many resources and so much feedback during my 13 weeks with her! She truly is amazing at what she does and honestly I would have not had the confidence to retest without her help. Justine made me work hard, never simply giving me answers to questions I got wrong; instead guiding me, giving me tools and strategies so that I would be able to answer the question myself. On my latest and final attempt at the NCLEX I pass in 86 questions, Justine was my second phone call (right after my mom). She was so genuinely happy for me reaching my goal, and I honestly would not have gotten to this point without her help. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone I come into contact with. Justine is one of the most talented educators I have ever met, I will never be able to express my gratitude to her in words.”

“Thank you Justine for helping me get through NCLEX-RN. She helped me break down the questions in a more understanding way for me. I learned how to answer select all that apply questions. She quickly helped me be able to recognize my weaknesses and strengths and work through my struggles. Justine guided me through this journey. I followed what she had told me and it worked. She made my dream come true, I’m finally an RN.”

“Justine single-handedly made my dreams come true. Our first session together I got exactly 0 out of the 6 questions right. Instead of making me feel bad or incapable, Justine really helped me break down these questions and understand what they were really asking. Justine showed me that I was making up information and not understanding what the questions were actually asking, something I was completely unaware of before I met with her. The biggest thing Justine taught me is how to think through questions correctly, which turned into me being able to answer questions correctly. In nursing school they always told us that it was so important to do thousands of questions before NCLEX. But after meeting with Justine I strongly believe this is only helpful if you are answering questions the correct way. Justine helped me pass NCLEX in 75 questions on my 4th try, after my last try had been failing with 75 questions. Not only is Justine extremely smart and helpful, she is also very kind and encouraging. This is especially helpful to keep your confidence up, which is important for NCLEX. I can’t recommend Justine enough!! Worth every penny!!”

“As a nursing graduate who wrote the N-CLEX three times, there was a lot of pressure writing it a fourth time. This was my last chance to pass this thing! I did some research about tutors, and stumbled across Justine’s website. She was by far, the most reputable tutor for me to use based on her credentials. I had been studying for about a month, and had a few weeks left, and would to get the most I could out of a tutor. We spent about two-three days on average per week going over questions and really focusing on how to answer the questions correctly. After about three weeks of tutoring with her, it was time. I had to go write this dreaded exam that I was so terrified of. After writing 130 questions, and 5 hours later……I PASSED! Justine was amazing. She really spent the time to help me understand how to answer the questions, and really helped me develop the proper skills to write the N-CLEX. She is so easy to discuss questions and concerns with, and really does want you to do well and pass the N-CLEX. I HIGHLY recommend anyone and everyone to use Justine in their study methods; as you can see, she DEFINITELY helped me out a lot! Thanks Justine!”

“I have no words to thank you for helping me get to this point! After failing to pass the NCLEX twice, I thought I will never become a nurse. I was so doubtful and didn’t know how to help myself. It was only with your kindness and skill that I learned how to master NCLEX-style questions. Thankfully I passed my NCLEX and have finally received my RN license! Thank you again for bring the most amazing person and tutor that you are!!!!!”

“Dear Justine, I was an RN student in your med-surg clinical. Just passed my NCLEX with 75 questions! Exam was very hard and when I studied for it I remembered our practice questions during clinical and your tips about how to answer those questions! I think it was incredibly helpful! My favorite part was learning how to read EKGs. I reviewed it day before exam because I heard it could be on it! I just want to say THANK YOU for your teaching and helpful hints about NCLEX!”

“Can’t thank Justine enough for all her help! Being a first time test taker I didn’t really know what to expect on the NCLEX-RN so seeking out Justine after a referral from a friend was my first choice. When I first contacted her she was all booked up, but then when she said that she could fit me in, I was beyond excited. In just 4 sessions, she was able to give me strategies and build my confidence in questions, it was really helpful when she had me think out loud! She’s awesome, couldn’t have done it without her! Thank you again!”

“I scrolled down my phone and it dropped from my hands as I yelled, “I PASSED!!!!!” I felt like I won the Mega Millions lottery. After two attempts- the first with 265 questions and a second in 75. I was utterly confused and for lack of a better word, “Pissed!” How did I do worse if I studied more the second time? A friend recommended Justine, so I figured, “Why not?” We met twice a week for three weeks. Having one-on-one sessions going over NCLEX strategies gave me a step by step framework for approaching the questions that I was able to apply towards the test. When I took the test, it was as ifJustine’s voice was guiding me. It proved to be the key difference because I went from failing in 75 the second time to passing in 75 the third/final time. Reach out to Justine as soon as possible because she will provide the road map to success in passing the NCLEX. Mahalo nui loa Justine for helping me pass the NCLEX beast.”

“Justine is an amazing tutor! She really knows how to find your weaknesses when it comes to answering questions, and helps you to find a way to answer them correctly. I loved her strategies and the way she helped me with my approach to questions! She is not the type to hold back, and is super straight forward with you from the get go. So don’t expect to get babied. She will push you to your greatest potential! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone getting ready to take the NCLEX!!! Thank you Justine! You have allowed my dreams to come true! I owe you so much!”

“First, I want to start off by saying Justine is an amazing person and an excellent tutor! From the very moment you talk to her,it is easy to see how passionate she is about helping others pass the NCLEX. Before I met Justine I struggled with passing the NCLEX. I tried HURST and Saunders but none of those seemed to help. I lost all hope of passing but knew I couldn’t give up. That’s when I found Justine and tutoring with her was the best decision I ever made. Justine is very dedicated to helping her students. As long as you study and do your part, you can pass with the help of Justine. She goes above and beyond for her students to get them the resources they need. She also has great strategies to answer any question the NCLEX may give you. Justine is very knowledgable about the NCLEX and different topics you come across in nursing. She is also very easy to talk to, gives great advice, and helps you attain the confidence you need to pass. After having 9 sessions with Justine I was ready to retest. My computer shut off at 88 questions and I was so nervous! Two days later I received the good news that I passed!! It was pleasure working with you! And thank you again for all your help!”

“I had taken the NCLEX-RN 5 times and failed. Each time it got worse and worse the further along I was out of school. I had tried EVERY thing out there, online courses, every book, and spent a TON of money on things that were just not helping me. I struggled with test anxiety and I felt I needed something more than just studying the content I already knew. I stumbled upon Justine’s information and thought “why not? lets try this out!” So I emailed her and we hit it off! Our first skype session I KNEW she was going to help me. I learned how to answer the question, and test taking strategies that I desperately needed and couldn’t get out of a book.Justine- you helped me gain my confidence back when I had completely wanted to quit my dreams of becoming a nurse. You gave me all the tools I needed to pass this biggest obstacle of my life. I can’t thank you enough for all of your help, and believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. I am forever grateful for you! I FINALLY passed 4 years after I graduated nursing school and the 6th time of taking it. I also passed this 6th time in ONLY 75 QUESTIONS!!!!!!! Do NOT give up!”

“I want to thank you so much for your help. I utilized a lot of your strategies and flashcards on quizlet. I sat for the exam on Monday and got 90-something questions. I’m so happy I finally passed. Hope all is well with you and your family. Enjoy the holidays, and thanks again, you definitely played a role in my success this time around.”

“I failed the NCLEX twice and I had taken Hurst Review and tried NCSBN but The NCLEX Tutor is what helped me pass the third time around!!! A friend recommended her to me & I immediately emailed her for help!! I met with Justine once a week for about 13 weeks. Justine has so much knowledge about the NCLEX and all the different strategies to answer every kind of question. There was nothing we didn’t cover that wasn’t on the NCLEX.She is super friendly, easy to talk to and it’s easy to see how truly passionate she is in helping you pass. If you dedicate your time and do your part in studying, she can and will help you pass. I thought the NCLEX was impossible, but Justine helped me prove otherwise!!! Thank you so much!!!! You are seriously the best!!”

“Justine is one of the most amazing teachers I’ve ever worked with. It’s very hard to find someone that motivates you, keeps you in check, and inspires you to get things done! I didn’t have much luck testing for the NCLEX, and I really didn’t understand what I was messing up on. Within the first Skype session I had with Justine, she pointed out the problem! We had 5 classes in total and she entirely changed my thinking process and showed me what I was missing while reading the questions. With dedication, following her technique, and doing lots and LOTS of questions, I finally felt confident. A feeling that I never felt before walking into that room. And well… I passed!!! I am so thankful for Justine and I swear by her work. She’s a brilliant caring teacher and I’d highly recommend her!! Thank you again Justine!!!”

“Without THENCLEXTUTOR I had given up hope of passing the NCLEX, RN. I got in contact with Justine, who isan awesome person and teacher. She taught me the strategies I need to pass the NCLEX, also a lot of encouragement letting me know that it can be done. I am very grateful for her because after failing 3 times. I am a Registered Nurse. Thank you Justine”.

“Justine is a kind, caring tutor. Very savvy in new methodology and technology, with an effective NCLEX formula to pass the exam. I had strong reservation about continuity when my daughter took lessons from LA via Skype with Justine. Well even when Boston suffered severe winter storms this year, no interruption in program! She also has great empathy for students and is most supportive. A great leader that nurtures student’s confidence.”

“After several attempts and lots of discouragement I found Justine! We only met 3 times but her strategies and telling me to slow down, think out loud and showed me where I could think diff was all the help in the world . And when it came down to two she would ask me which is safer? Guess what a lot of prayers and 2 times w/ Justine and passed at 140 questions. Prior 2 attempts were 265!!!!!!She is absolutely wonderfuland too bad u don’t think about needing a tutor in the beginning because I sure would have loved to have her in the beginning! Any doubts Use her! U won’t regret it! Thanks again Justine I can now say proudly I am an RN!”

“After graduating nursing school, I used Hurst to study for NCLEX. I took the test a month later and didn’t pass! I was devastated but got back to studying, this time using Kaplan! I admit I didn’t fully complete the course, but still decided to take the test again, and failed…again! I was so upset and didn’t know what to do! I live in Louisiana and we don’t have any NCLEX tutors here! So my mom went to google and found Justine! We started skyping every Saturday morning. After working with Justine for 2 months, with her help in testing strategies, and learning the content, I felt it was time to battle the NCLEX again! Third times a charm, right? Well for me it was!! I passed the NCLEX with 92 questions!!I could not have done it without the help of Justine!!Now I am proud to say that I am Lisa Adams, RN!!!”

“I can’t say enough nice things about Justine! I failed my NCLEX exam the first time in 75 questions, 2 months after graduating school. I was devastated and did not know where to begin again. I knew I needed a tutor to help me find my weaknesses and pass this exam. I am so glad I found Justine! We worked together over Skype for 7 weeks and it paid off! I passed the second time in 250 questions!Justine truly cares about who she tutors.She was available by phone or email any time to make sure you felt ready. I am so thankful I found her! -Alexa, RN ahhhh!”

“After three failed attempts at the NCLEX-RN I was losing hope and very discouraged on where to go for help in passing this test. I found Justine online and after meeting with her for the first time I already had hope that this time was going to be different. She was very easy to get in touch with and worked with me to create tutoring sessions that fit both of our schedules. Justine was able to help me make a plan for studying and kept me in the right direction. She was able to help me critically think to answer questions, which was what I was lacking in most. With the help of the strategies she provided me I was already improving my practice test scores is just a few sessions. Justine provided me with many different resources to use and guide me through the studying process. With her help, I can now officially say I am a Registered Nurse in Massachusetts andhighly recommend her!”

“I took the exam for the first time three weeks after graduation and didn’t pass. I was absolutely devastated. Late October came around and I was ready to take the NCLEX again. A couple of days later I found out that I did not pass the exam, yet again. I knew this time around I should try a completely different strategy and find out what I am doing wrong. I looked up NCLEX tutor online and found Justine Buick. We met once a week for two hours and went over the exam and strategies for all the types of questions seen on the exam. I gradually began to see myself improving and getting more questions right than I ever had. About 5 weeks later I was scheduled to take the NCLEX for the third time. Using the strategies and everything Justine and I had talked about, I passed the exam with 265 questions. It was the happiest day for me and I could not have done it without the help of Justine.”

“Justine helped me after a first failed attempt at the NCLEX. Thanks to her help, I successfully passed on my second try and this was after working with Justine for less than 2 months. I am now a Registered Nurse and am a lot more knowledgeable and have a better understanding of concepts thanks to her help. I couldn’t have done this without her and I highly recommend her tutoring services. She accommodated my schedule and returned my emails and calls swiftly. She was extremely professional, polite but yet stern enough that she didn’t allow me to slack and pushed me to work hard.She gave me the confidence I neededand checked on me to make sure I was accomplishing the tasks that we both set forth. Prior to working with Justine, I felt like I was studying everything and anything and had no direct plan of action. She was able to set me on the correct course and I proved successful. Thank you!”

“Justine’s passion to tutor for the NCLEX is outstanding. 
I graduated from nursing school in December of 2014, and planned to take the NCLEX in January. I started to study and realized I needed help. Luckily, I found Justine! When I first met her, she started off by saying “I love tutoring for NCLEX, this is my favorite thing!” After one, 90 minute session, I improved my practice test scores by 5% and by the end of a few session I improved by 10%, then I passed my test. I went for 6 or 7, 90 minute sessions. She doesn’t just care about giving you the strategies and the knowledge to pass the test, she cares about you as an individual. She gave me the confidence I needed to pass this exam. Justine makes it fun to study for the NCLEX and makes you want to practice questions. I can’t say enough good things about Justine and her ability as a tutor. She has a great price and works with your schedule. I sincerely enjoyed the hours I spent with Justine!”

“You have been the best clinical instructor ever! Thank you so much for all encouragement, big and small and in between: for teaching so much important nursing knowledge.
