Not to frighten anyone, but I studied 4 hours for the NCLEX and passed with 78 questions.......I took it about 10 days after graduation. I got my ATT and took it 4 days later. I really don't think studying would have made me any more prepared....
I tried the trick the day I took the NCLEX RN, about 4 or 5 hours after finishing it. It told me I had recently registered and couldn't register again at this time. My results came in and I had passed :)
Personally, I studied a whopping 4 or 5 hours for the NCLEX and got 78 questions and passed. I think I could have studied months more and would not have been any more prepared. Good luck to everyone!
