I just looked at the MNBON website and it says exam results: Passed!!! I took my test yesterday morning for the FIRST time!!!!! I am soo happy for it to be over with! I studied for 3 weeks for an average of 3 hours a day (the last three days before my test I did a 17hour-8hour-light review the night before) +a week of Kaplan review before that three weeks. I am so burned out and happy I don't have to stress anymore!

I had some SATA, a ton of priority and delegation questions, A TON of SAFETY/INFECTION Control (Standard, Droplet, Airborne, Contact Precautions) a TON OF MED QUESTIONS---which I had no clue what they were, never heard of them! I was freaked out when it shut off at 75, I kept thinking that it caught my pharm weakness as on my QT 7 I got 51% on that section. But I passed yay! :)

If ppl are wondering what I got on my Kaplan tests here they are:

50% Diagnostic

57% Readiness

46% QT 1

57% QT 2

48% QT 3

54% QT 4

57% QT 5

63% QT 6

61% QT 7

Don't take tests later than 7/8 PM, you get so tired and that is were my lowest scores came from. My scores got better at the end, bc I went really slow and read each question. After the test, the next day I would read each rationale whether I got the question right or wrong. I made note cards of random things like diseases, meds, therapeutic postions, safety/infection, precautions and added to them with each test I took. I also did a ton of QBank every day 100-200 questions a day (not counting QTs) I would make 50 questions on all content, 25 questions in areas I scored between 51-60, and 3 ten questions all content--to practice getting the first ten right on the NClex, which Kaplan told me that if you get at least 7/10 on the first questions, you'll most likely have a short test (75?s) I also listened to content videos on topics I scored lower in and re-read my book, some sections re-read twice.

I honestly can only thank God though, he gave me calmness and helped me be able to think clearly. He def.helped me through all of this.:redbeathe:D:)

Good luck to everyone else that is testing--I hope my tips/experience help someone!

Wow! Congratulations!

Thanks everyone! I love how encouraging and positive ppl are on this website! I would read threads to pick up my confidence the days before and after my test. Thank you!:)

Congrats!! That is a real accomplishment:yeah: I take my NCLEX on the 17th and im so nervous.I have not studied nearly as much as you did.I took Kaplan and I have been studying for three wks as well,but I have been doing 50-150 quest. a day and just reviewing content.I read through the test at the end and study that area I was weak on.I also make focused test of content I scored low on and review it.I really do not feel prepared.I am so scared! By the way, what is a SATA quest?

select all that apply :wink2:

PS GOOD LUCK!!
