First, relax! Get good sleep.

Review Suzanne4s plan to help you plan your week.

2nd just work your Saunders for review (that is the only book I used and I passed with 75 questions.) I would take the quizze at the end of each Saunders Chapter. Review the reading for any area that you get less than 80% on the practice quizzes. Review Suzanne 4's plan.

Put your focus on "thinking like a nurse" as you take the practice questions. Write down rationales for the questions you miss as this helps you think like a nurse.

Best of luck.

With only one week to go, it is not going to work for you.

Best of luck on your exam, you also should not be preparing up until the day of the exam, your brain needs a few days just to soak it all in.

Best of luck to you.

(The first tip is located at the top of this forum.)

Re: I'm taking the exam this MONDAY!HELP!

Im also taking my test this monday. First time.

I took kaplan and my grades are hovering around the mid to high 60's. My overall QBank score is 65%. According to Kaplan that is borderline passing and have had good results with students averaging the same.

From what fellow classmates as well as upper classmen have been telling me to do a week before your test is to do atleast 100 questions a day up until the last day before your test. They said you should watch a movie and have a good dinner. Get a good amount of rest and eat a well balanced breakfast before the test. Arrive at the test center 30 min. early and take a walk and pray. Take your time during the test and follow the decision tree kaplan preached.
