How to study for the NCLEX RN in 3 weeks, I have been doing questions and reviewing for about a 3weeks so far I have been using UWorld and Kaplan questions, does anyone have any suggestions.....I'm really lost this will be my second time testing, the first time I studied really hard, but the questions were so vague on NCLEX-RN I guess I was expecting more.....

what is your study schedule? how many questions are you doing a day? what are you doing differently to study this time? how long have you been studying?

I test in about 3 weeks as well and I'm using UWorld, Kaplan (+ NCSBN) as well. maybe I can help or at least provide some insight.

my study schedule is 75 questions a day on UWorld and the purple Saunders book, but i will be complete with UWrorld next week

I will be using Kaplan selfpace review my goal is to complete 150 questions on Kaplan and 25 questions from the priority and delegation book Im also using audio, and I put together a book of things i might have forgotten, my day starts early

Wake-up 0400-0600 listen to review Audios/and tag pages in my saunders book that I didnt fully understand in the audios

0900-1300 get kids situated then go to the library and complete 150 questions, im usually there for about four hours (reviewing rationales)

1300-1830 taking care kids, cooking etc whatever need to be done at home (if Im working that day the schedule is completely different)

1900-2130 questions and saunders book

If I decide to stay up late I will go over lab values, diets, postioning, and pharmacaology

when Im working my schedule is completely different, but I will be going PRN at my fulltime job so i can focus on a 10-12hour study day

I test on 7/24! so in two weeks...and I'm doing Uworld, haven't done assessments yet but on my tests i'm scoring high 50's and low 60's too. I really hope that is not bad... but would like see how you all are studying as well? I'm also dong Hurst Review for content.

Hurst is really good for content....I'm using uworld, Saunders, MK audios, Kaplan Qbank once I complete Uworld and the priority and delegation book
