Took nclex today! (Foreign Graduate)

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi! I believe that Saunders helped me alot in terms of content. The questions were kind of similar to saunders. Most of the questions were one liners. I got the good pop up after 76 items. If this would be of help, I did self review, I did the Saunders 4th and 5th edition, kaplan book review, hurst book review, nclex 3500, nclex exam cram, lipincott. i believe that saunders really helped me alot as far as content and critical thinking. i hope i could help future exam takers. good luck!

Congrats !

didnt enroll for any online review class. i mainly used saunders and exam cram and nclex 3500 and some lipincott and kaplan strategy books. i really learned alot reviewing what i didnt know and reading the rationales when i was answering questions. i graduated from the philippines.

the exam wasnt as hard i was expecting. but also it wasnt as predictable as i expected. some questions were really weird. it really was a test that covers everything in nursing schoold. just focus guys. i believe its not about the review course that you have taken but it is more about how focused you are on your review. goodluck!

I agree with patrickwee...the exam is not as difficult as I thought it would be. Some of the questions had me scratching my head because they were in fact WEIRD. But overall I think Kaplan questions were harder than NCLEX. NCLEX questions in my opinion were straight and to the point & more like Saunders. I tested 8/17 and please believe me it doesn't matter how many SATA's one receive because I had maybe 10. And I passed.

I took the NCLEX RN today and got the good pop up :) I also agree that the test was not as hard as I initially thought it would be. The SATAs were straight to the point and easier than any other practice test I took. I was shocked because a lot of the information on the test I was familiar with from the Hurst core content review. I would say at least 75%. I'm sure I got lucky. That's why I believe in divine intervention, because God gave me a version of the NCLEX that I could pass. God is good. :D
