Nursing Students NCLEX

I took the NLCEX RN on June 13th and passed with 75 questions. I just wanted to let you all know that if I can do it, you can. I developed test anxiety during my nursing program and got mostly C's as a result (I am sure you all know about the awesome grading scale, my 84% was a C). I almost failed my last semester of nursing school because it got so bad I started having physical symptoms during exams. I actually threw up after one of my tests. I got on medication, which I really didn't want to do but it helped me a lot. I decided I wasn't going to go overboard studying for NCLEX. I took two weeks off after graduation then I took the Kaplan review course. I did 100 questions a day from the Kaplan test bank and was only scoring in the 50's. I did my best to stay calm before the exam. I went into the exam so nervous but I sat in my chair and talked myself down before I started the test. I ended up with over 20 SATA, 2 drag and drop and 3 math. During the exam I felt like most of the questions were pretty easy but when it shut off at 75 I didn't feel like I got enough right. The next day I saw my license number online. So please everyone, have faith in yourself! You can do it!

Thank you everyone! My study plan was not as intense and I've seen some people post on here. I did 100 Kaplan questions a day. The week before the exam I started re memorizing lab values and reviewed some stuff I was weak on such as endocrine. That's all I did. :)
