Re: D-Day: July 3rd, 2009.

Okay tomorrow is my test day for NCLEX-RN. After my long history of studying every single day since graduating May 16, 2009 of at least 100Q/day+review rationales/strategies using Saunders Q&A CD, Saunders 4th ed blue book for clarifying info/content and following the assessment calendar, and kaplan strategy book/180Q CD from borders...should I just REST now?

Re: D-Day: July 3rd, 2009.

Sounds like you are definitely prepared. I got a 68 on the Kaplan exam and I passed my NCLEX in 75 questions. Good luck!!!

Yes relax today and give your brain a rest

Good luck

Thanks everyone. I'm not doing any questions today. I will be listening to Michael Jackson music and go to safeway to borrow a $1 DVD. Then I will go to the gym and do light weightlifting, not heavy today, and some cardio. During my gym-time i will play "eye of the tiger".

Alrighty, I took my NCLEX. Finished in about 2 hours. Ended at 75 questions. I had a total of about at least 10 alternate item format questions and the rest of the other questions seemed to get harder question after question. Lots of pharm, infection control, priority and a few of the "other" types. I felt good about most answers. I didn't walk out of there feeling like I answered a lot of questions wrong but I'm still nervous of the results. I just tried the pearson vue trick thing about 3-4 hours later. It says I already scheduled an exam and I must contact...cannot schedule an exam at this time...etc. Is this accurate even after a few hours?

Re: D-Day: July 3rd, 2009.

That sounds like you passed, congrats. I'm in the same boat using the same materials. I just bought my Saunders book last night, I'm looking for a Kaplan strategy book and I'm not sure about what Q&A book I want just yet. I'm thinking Lippincott possibly.

Re: D-Day: July 3rd, 2009.

Congratulations!

I wish my state participated in the Quick Results, but alas, I'm stuck waiting a while longer...
