Hi! I'll be taking my NCLEX-RN this Feb.28 in Manila, Philippines. I've taken the full Kaplan review course and have read Saunders 4th Ed cover to cover. On Kaplan Question Trainers, I've scored 60-80%, and on the Readiness Exam, 81%.
Right now, and up until Saturday, I think, I'll be working on practice exams by Saunders and Lippincott. I usually score above 80% on Lippincott exams, a little higher on Saunders (presumably because I've answered some of the questions before). Any tips for me? Or other practice tests I should take?
Thanks!

Saunders cover to cover?? Good for you! You sound ready to go. Best of luck!
I hope I am ready. I really feel like I'm not, although that's probably how every test-taker feels before the big exam..

Good luck kabayan! You can do this!:cheers: Just be confident and don't forget to pray for your exams.
I've actually had a lot of time to read Saunders while waiting for the Kaplan live class, and also while waiting for my ATT. My ATT came in late - around a month after I registered with Pearson Vue (don't know why).
Salamat kabayan! Praying for our success! =)))
just finished my exam. it was THE WORST EVER! i got SATA's after every 3rd or 4th question, and about half of those SATA's were regarding medications. DAMN. i only had 1 calculation, though.

BEst wishes. I hope you made it!
I did the Pearson Vue Trick twice yesterday and just now. Got the good pop-up!!
I hope this method is 100% accurate!! I'll be devastated if I receive the official results and see that I actually didn't pass.. =(((

I too had one calculation and many select all that apply questions. If I had to guess maybe 20% of the questions were sata. Only a couple of delegation questions, several on isolation and protective equipment, a bunch of priority and assignment questions. My test went to about 160 questions.
Finally got the quick results! It took A LOT MORE than 48 hours for me - 62 hours to be exact. But it's worth the wait! I am now unofficially an NCLEX PASSER!
