Come on all you NCLEX (week of 07/18) takers...


Oh Man how did this week come up so fast!? I am taking mine Wednesday the 20th. Everyone from my school who has taken it has passed (which is somewhat of a hopeful sign but also makes me think, hmmm if they're all passing ONE of us is bound to fail.)

Anyways today I'm just finishing up my NCSBN online review course I think I've answered most of the questions (majority of them incorrectly, those are hard review tests! The highest I got on any one was 88%!) in the 30 day subscription because they are starting to repeat them selves.

Tom. I plan on going to the library and reviewing the books I don't have just to flip through them (I have already used Lipencott and Saunders) and see if there are any last minute areas I am not confident about.

Then Wednesday I take the test at 9am then I am in for a rough 48 hours!!!!

Wish me luck guys, pray for me!!!!!!!!

Default Stay calm and focus and you will be fine!
Good Luck! Sounds very much like you are prepared! Take it easy the evening before the exam!

Default I take mine this week too!!
I am scheduled to take mine on Thursday the 21st! I've been procrastinating on studying but have definitely buckled down and started studying yesterday. I am more excited than scared about the test. Just want to get it done and over with. Everyone in my class who has taken it so far has passed...a good ome?? Let's hope so.

Good Luck to all those who are scheduled for this week also!!

Good Luck on your exam. Took mine this morning and I'm trying to be positive. Mine shut off at 75. I feel like I failed the thing, but right now, there is nothing I can do but wait for the results. My advice-keep calm, read slowly and believe in yourself. Today I have learned that passing is very important, but if I do fail, I will pick myself up and keep fighting.

88% is impossible for me to obtain... I only get 60-70% from NCSBN.. The highest I can get is 73%. I am taking the test at the same time same time as yours.... I feel shaky about content....
I blame it on Kaplan questions which concentrate so much on stupid priorities and delegation that I don't feel that I know anything.
I should have listen to Suzanne and use Saunders for reviews!!

Don't be so hard on yourself, any kind of studying has to be better then none. I used NCSBN and Saunders (Lipencott and HESI too) and I really can't say one was a lot better then the other. Amazingly I got 88 on the pharm test for NCSBN and I hate pharm. I think NCSBN's review questions are a lot harder as to lessen the shock when you get impossible questions on the actualy NCLEX.....

Goodluck to you Wednesday, this feeling is the worst isn't it??????

Thanks.... I hate NCSBN... some questions come out from nowhere... They don't give me sufficient rationales for the questions... I don't suggest it to anyone who want content review....
I think this is probably the way NCLEX is... many exotic diseases.. and weird rationales....

Tommorow, I just gonna do Saundras....... Goodluck
