D-Day: July 3rd, 2009.


The allied troops in my own mind/spirit is marching through to break through the frontlines of the NCLEX. haha just kidding guys. I take my test on July 3rd. I've been following the Saunder's assessment test calendar, doing 100Q a day plus reviews on the Saunders CD since May 18, 2009. My scores has been noticeably rising in the practice exams. I bought a Kaplan strategy book and got an 81% on the 180 exam from the CD.

I will continue to use the saunder's CD from my Q&A book and review rationales 100Q a day. Should I keep taking the "Content area = select all (all content)" exams or do it by client needs?

Doesn't matter the order you answer questions as you should end up doing pretty much every question on the CD.

Good luck and remember to take the day before off and relax!

So does that mean at this point in time, since I reviewed rationales on every single 100Q exam I took on the Saunders CD, I should just go gung-ho on taking about 260 questions a day without reviewing rationales , relax for the rest of the day, lift weights at the gym, talk to girlfriend who lives on Kauai, play with my new iphone (tmobile), and that's it? :yldhdbng:

Yes I know, the day before the test, relax.

That's my D-Day too.

If it were me, I'd stick with a 100 questions a day and really review the rationales of both correct and incorrect answers for each--I find that helps me learn a lot more than doing tons of Qs and just reviewing the ones I get wrong. I review each question and if I'm not sure about any of the content (even if I got the Q right), I look it up immediately.

Hopefully this will bear results...we'll see in about a week

From the posts that I see, are majority of the questions prioritization and infection control?

Alright folks. I'm taking it this Friday. I WILL PASS. Its my first time taking this thing. For this week until thursday, since I've been doing okay on the Saunders 100Q exams (70%+) on the Saunders Q&A CD plus reviewing rationales and strategies for every single question right and wrong, every single day since I graduated until now.

Should i slow it down a bit and start doing study mode of 50-75Q a day? Selecting all the client needs or do mostly "physiological integrity" and "safe and effective care enviroment" questions?

Also, I've been seeing people posting that the NCLEX is mostly delegation/prioritization and infection control? I found the content questions on delegation/prioritization but where are the infection control questions?
