Advice on study prep

Published

Hey guys, about to take my exam for the second time now (sigh). I used Nclex Mastery app (finished with 60%) and Saunders online 5200 questions thing with evolve (did about 2000 and they are WAY too easy)

I'm using uworld this time and doing 75 questions a day. My friend passed his exam and is willing to pass on his Kaplan account to me.

I cannot, for the life of me, do any more than 75 a day on Uworld. I wake up and do them and it takes me the entire day (maybe its just how I study, or maybe I'm mentally exhausted). My exams not till August 2nd. The thought alone doing 75/day is already dreadful.

-Do I need to suck it up and do more? Maybe I need encouragement. I REALLY am so tired of studying.

Well, it depends on your study style. I easily answered well more than 75 Uworld questions daily. But that reflects MY study style. Find what works for you. My study materials included ATI, Uworld, Kaplan book that I took out of library, NCLEX RN Mastery app (only used it for two days), and three practice tests I found online via the Kentucky Virtual Library. I tried to answer as many questions as I could. I encourage anyone to use UWorld. But use it wisely. Write out rationales for all questions you miss. Study those rationales! Everything on my NCLEX was covered on Uworld. I got NO surprises. And when the computer turned off after question 75, I knew I passed. Trust all the folks on this site who tell you to study Uworld with all your heart! They are right.

50-75 UWorld questions is what i did a day and it took the whole day because i read all the rationales and wrote notes from the rationale themselves.
