Hi sweetmya! Yes, learning extension helped me the most. I studied Kaplan the first time (very hard questions), but didn't helped me much for the test except contentwise. When I tried to study Kaplan again, I forgot what I had studied. I was stressing out when my date for the 2nd exam was coming closer, because I felt like I didn't know anything even though I I had studied the material before.
With learning extension, in my opinion, the questions are similar to NCLEX. Like I said, I felt like I was still doing my practice questions except this time I was doing it at Pearson Vue center. The fact that I was thinking "practice mode", made me less anxious going into the exam.
I would recommend that you do 100-200 questions each day and review labs. As far as medications go, it's impossible to remember all the medications so study based on categories (ie. anticoagulants; important interventions, patient teaching, etc...). It's also very important that you know dosage calculations. I had three similar ones and I just guessed at the answers because I forgot to study for those type of calculations. Whatever can give you points matters. Check for any websites that focus on calculations if you don't have a book. Hope this helps.
P.S. I hope I don't sound like your classmates whom you hate
They are just trying to help and I know it's overwhelming when you have so many different information from different people and you don't know what's best for you. Good luck!
Would you like to comment?
hopefully am the next one! ill be takin my exam on the 28th
