   I think the important thing is you have made a plan that seems to work for you personally. Sounds great! I took 3 months to plan since I had been out of school for a longggg time. My plan changed somewhat along the way, but I reassessed according to ...

   I suspect everyone is different. For me, I saved some of the serious med study for the last few days (hoping it would stick in my mind better) and think it might have paid off. I also reviewed the test study strategy and feel it helped me. I don't th...

   I'm no expert, but I got to the point where I just did not want to study anymore . . . guess I reached my saturation point . Are you feeling like you are ready? Why put it off again? I'd want to get it over and see how I did if I were you. Only you c...

   Since I really needed a review and update on everything nursing related, I used Saunders Comprehensive edition 4 and did it cover to cover but did not have enough time to utilize the CD questions; got through most of LaCharity newest edition, and wen...

    Hey, the PVT worked for me--just got the unofficial results and I PASSED! m3speed, I got 68-69% correct on my Kaplan tests and I did fine, passing with 75 questions. I bet you'll do great too! :heartbeat

    Thanks guys! This site (and you all) have been a real blessing, as I may not have known what to do or purchase to prepare. Since I graduated nursing school many, m a n y moons ago, I trudged through the whole Saunders Comprehensive book, plus did the...

    That's awful that it is set up that way; wish it wasn't so for you! Try not to think about the negative or go crazy about this. It's going to pay off in the long run, which will go by quickly. Best to you . . .:heartbeat

    I took the NCLEX this morning. Got 75 questions. It was DIFFICULT! I was so relieved that I did not have to spend any more than those two hours as I really wanted this OVER with! Too many unfamiliar meds and a lot of SATAs. But I just did the PVT and...

    I'm so sad for you. Hard to believe NO lab values were on it . . . would think that was important! By M/C do you mean meds/calculations? I'm a bit discouraged hearing about this (almost crying myself) and the fact that I'm not getting more right wit...

    Just doing Kaplan Qs with 3 days of studying left. Their answer rationals are excellent. I wasn't doing all that great at first with these (63-70% right) but am learning all along and hope to gain much from this even with such a short time frame left...
