Any 2nd time test takers for May?

[resilientnurse]

Are there any second NCLEX candidates with test dates for May or shortly thereafter? Just wondering what different study strategies you are using this time around? Feeling different about this test? How are you dealing with anxiety? Thanks.

hi i am going to schedule my exam around may or the latest june, it is my first time to take the exam. been studying since january. i studied the kaplan course book and read like 85-90% on it. i also study the saunders comprehensive cd for more content...and both have helped me alot. saunders points out the important stuff. i wish i just read the saunders comprehensive book instead of the kaplan but too late now i think...doing question trainers one by one too...and in a few weeks will sign up for the q bank...right now just going thru it slowly, dont wanna overwhelm myself. i read the rationales to the questions in the saunders cd like 3 times...its good to repeat it to urself over and over again...

Many people recommend using the Saunders Comprehensive Review as your resource. Do as many questions as possible, from whatever source, and study the rationales for the answers. Good luck.

I will be taking it a second time. I should be able to scheldule im may or june. I have been using the kaplan strategy book and exam cram. Kaplan has seemed to help understand the questions more, have not started on the exam cram. After that I am looking a getting kaplan q-bank to study before testing. What is the kaplan q trainer?
