nclex-RN in 4 days

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Specializes in ICU, CCRN, ER.

Hi everyone. I am panicked. I haven't had as much time as most when it comes to studying for the Nclex. I take my test on 4 days. I get maybe 1.5 hours to review ncsbn and Kaplan questions in 2 weeks. I don't really go over material unless I run across a question that I didn't know. My scores for Kaplan range from 55 to 68. I am an average student. I keep reading about people who had to test 5 times and that makes me nervous. Did anyone else study as little and do well?

Thanks:)

The SATA on Kaplan are a lot like those on the actual test.

Some people manage to pass their first time without studying at all, others (like me) need a month or more of dedicated study. Take one of the predictor tests (Kaplan has them, Hurst does as well, not sure about other courses) and see how you do. If you decide you aren't ready, you can reschedule without penalty.

I took 2 secure predictors. One I got a 52 and the other I got a 77. Its so different lol and they had different topics.

I had less than 2 weeks to study. Like you, I was also nervous (totally normal). I actually wanted to reschedule my exam, but my friend told me that I should just take it as originally scheduled. Had 75q and thought I bombed it. Paid for quick results after 48hours and found out that I passed. :)

Best of luck!!! You got this :laugh:
