What a fabulous board/forum...i wish i had discovered it sooner!
Im 3 days away from taking NCLEX, and NERVOUS. I took Kaplan NCLEX-RN Complete, but havent studied from the actual course book much. My scores on the QTrainers/QBank have been in the low 50's. Ive tried postpoing my NCLEX date, but Pearson told me there isnt another slot open for the next 5 weeks....since I have no choice but to take NCLEX this week, and STILL feel there is SOOO much content I have to review, what can you suggest to do these last couple of days? Im torn on whether I should review QUESTIONS or skim through the BOOK? Any suggestions/prayers/wishes would be VERY much appreciated!~thank you =)

Hi there! I would suggest for the next couple of days, review stuff you are weak in (like lab values, etc.). The day before your test DO NOT STUDY. I did this and it actually helped me rest my brain and such. I also used Kaplan and had scored in the 60's on the kaplan tests..though my highest was a 63 on the trainer and my lowest a 55. I passed the NCLEX-RN for the first time with 75 questions I wish you the best of luck to you and don't worry about the course book. I barely looked at it when i was studying....i used mostly Saunders to review content (which was excellent for that!) and Kaplan for the critical thinking. Best of luck to you! I know you can pass this thing.
