Question, has anyone only studied for one week and passed NCLEX? I studied for a month solid for HESI and passed with a 1000, so I thought I was "good" for NCLEX. Boy, was I wrong!! Anyone only study for a week and still pass?? I am regretting not studying more, but all my friends that took it and passed said to not worry about it...I am.
My exam cut off at around 80-something. (I stopped looking once it got past 75.)

Re: Studied for a week...

I believe that its only you that knows when you think you are ready to take your exams be it studying for a day or months.You are in better position of answering for yourself.You've written the exams so you have to stop worrying and look forward to passing.You'll make it ok!!!

Re: Studied for a week...

I studied for less than that. I can't even remember, but I tried to study on the plane ride home from my honeymoon (that didn't work), and I studied about 60 questions in the Saunders book, and then I knew I was ready.

Passed in 75.

Re: Studied for a week...

Okay..That makes me feel better! I know there were a few I got wrong, but surely not enough to fail me!
Thanks for the responses!

Re: Studied for a week...

I got a 956 on HESI, and never opened a book untill a 1 1/2 weeks before my NCLEX and passed with 75.........I was also convinced that I failed until I seen my results 2 LONG days later.

Actually, you got half wrong. The question is....at what level did you get half right?

Good point.

Re: Studied for a week...

I scored high on ATI, but wasn't willing to risk $300 on thinking I would pass. I studied relentlessly for 2 months and passed at 75 questions. I'll never know how I would have done otherwise...but that's fine.

Good luck!

Re: Studied for a week...

I found out today...
