NCLEX questions on Khan academy site

[sanakruz, ADN]

Hi All,

I am studying for NCLEX, and am using all possible resources I can access.

Seems to me the Khan Academy questions are wicked hard!

Anyone else have this experience?

And for those of you who have taken NCLEX, please share any insights.

Thanx!

There's a lot of resources out there, and they all have their own qualities. It mostly depends on what you feel you need the most help on, either content review, or test taking strategies, or etc. I never tried Khan academy, so I can't help you there. I used these 4 courses:

1. Kaplan (good for help on how to answer test questions)

2. Hurst (they do a pretty good content review on the essentials to know on all areas of nursing school)

3. NCSBN (Personally, i found that one overwhelming, it reviewed everything in nursing school to the smallest detail, the test questions were tough but helpful if you catch on to how they word their questions and how they expect you to answer)

4. HESI (Good questions to review).

I suggest you stick to one or maybe even two, because you can overwhelm yourself with information and end up studying for much longer than you needed to (like I did). You will never feel fully prepared to take the NCLEX. Go in there with the mindset and goal to answer 265 questions and get through it. There's a good free app on the mobile stores to help you with pharmacology, labs, and diagnostics, if you need help with that. Check it out, its called NCLEX Nursing Tools or the website nclexessentials.barcalabs.com. Best of luck!
