What study methods did you use to slay the board exam?

I passed the NCLEX-PN last week! I prepared for 2 weeks by reading the Saunders NCLEX-PN prep book and answering all of the questions. I also glanced at my notes from school and heavily reviewed material that I was weak in. YOU CAN DO IT!

Only 2 weeks of studying? U only did the questions on back of the book or the entire cd too?

I did the entire cd, but some of the questions were redundant and I focused on the alternative style questions. I also waited a month to take the NCLEX because I needed to recover from school! For me, taking the time off to rest and relax made me feel more at ease to take the NCLEX. I wish the best for all the exam-takers!

How did you study the meds? I have the hardest time memorizing the medications.

I did the cd only half way..maybe I should start all over and finish it up.

I really enjoyed pharmacology. I browsed over my notes from pharmacology class and I also had a pharm cd that came with one of my pharm books. I studied the drug classes so that I didn't have to think about knowing a ton of individual drugs, and I took frequent breaks. I also familiarized myself with common drug dosages, which came in handy on the NCLEX because I did have a question about appropriate drug dosages.

Try to pace yourself! You can get through studying and do well! You can do it!
