Hello everyone! I just want to share with y'all my NCLEX experience and resources that I used to prepare for this exam.I took my test last Tuesday, February 28, 2017 at 8:00 am. I made sure to eat a decent meal, and my husband (yay! my designated driver that day hehe) made sure that I am comfortable and worry free prior to heading out to the testing center. Before I forget, what I did before the big day was just pray, relax, eat healthy and find a feel good movie to watch!I arrived 35 minutes early to the testing center. I took my two optional break period. First, after the 74th question and second I think that was the 150th question. Good thing I didn't eat all the banana during my first break, ha! So when I came back I told myself not to freak out, instead I prayed. I pray every time I am encountering questions that seems like I know or I don't know at all! Trust me, nothing beats good faith and prayer and of course believe in yourself!So I paced myself and tried not to look on the remaining time left so that I won't feel any pressure. I just knew that I'd be getting the maximum questions, so I said okay keep on going you got this, and I prayed a lot. After answering the maximum question finally the computer shut down, of course! I went out the building--I didn't feel happy or nervous, I think I was in between or maybe I was having an ambivalent feeling? And I was so famished!So when we were having our lunch, I started to feel like I want to cry but I couldn't (how crazy is that?). I told myself that I wouldn't do the PVT because I don't want to get high hopes and I don't know if that still works but when my husband and I read the thread here everyone is saying that it works! So after eating we decided to drop by to our parish church first and after 4 hours we did the PVT and I got the "good pop up"! Still not that convinced, I did it again after a couple of hours--after another couple of hours-after 24hours and last good pop up just this morning before I got my quick results. And the good news is, PVT worked for me! I found out that I PASSED!For those of you who got 265 questions, Don't give up! Keep on praying! Keep the faith and Believe in yourself.Preparing for NCLEX-RN1. Kaplan(If you used Kaplan review your notes. I reviewed my Kaplan notes from my class before)2.
