advice for nclex

Published

Ok so I've been studying for the nclex and I'm pretty much freaking out. Im currently using uworld, ati, prioritization delegation and assignment, saunders, kaplan, my school has me working with 3 advisors, lippincott q&a, lippincot nclex-rn alvernate formate questions, audio files from mark klimer, hurst review.

My ati scores when i graduated (dec 2017) said i have a 97% chance of passing

uworld assessment test 1 had me at 81 percentile and i took the second one last night and it has me at 84th percentile (both with very high passing rate) i have about 250 more questions left but overall im at the 53rd percentile in the uworld. I plan to redo the whole program over when it expires on monday and just set up a new account.

I've rescheduled my nclex date about 9 times and i still have a 40+ day window to move it but i was wondering if i should move it since its in 2 weeks and i feel like im not well prepared. The next available dates in my area are the last week of march and beginning of april. I study a minimum of 4 hours a day but im still getting 50s-60s an occasional low 70s in uworld. My professor think im almost there and need to fine tune a few things but she thinks i should be getting high 70s and low 80s by now. When i started i was getting 30s and 40s.

Background: i have extremely bad test anxiety and adhd and had accommodations (separate quiet room) and i literally answer questions within 30 seconds (some in 10secs using uworld) i finished exams 150 questions within 30-45 mins and did well in school. (i even had a professor questioned if i cheated because i did very well on exam that 80% of the class failed). Not to mention a good friend/classmate of mine who finished before me in aug just informed me that she failed twice which pretty much set off a mini anxiety attack.

sorry about this long rant i just dont know what else to do. im more than willing to get more products but some of the rationales conflict and i feel like kaplan is doing more harm than good for me personally.

During school we also used ATI, I had a 94% chance of passing the NCLEX when I graduated. To study I ONLY used Uworld. I did 60-100 questions a day for 4 weeks, only getting to about half of the q-bank. My average score was only a 60% on uworld when I took the NCLEX, I passed in a little over an hour in 75 questions. Studying the rationales on the questions that you get wrong, is way more important then the grades you are getting on uworld. I don't recommend rescheduling.You are never going to feel prepared no matter how much you study. YOU GOT THIS!!! Just breathe!!! Good luck
