You will do fine... take a breather.. go for a walk... I feel like there is NOT enough time to get all this info down, and I just have to chill some.. try reading a book on strategies or test succes to help break the questions down some...... I just was hopeing to have a dozne or so index cards to memorize by now, still havent got those done... just got into doing questions, and now feel like they are a jumble in my head..... sigh.

yes i agree..kaplan is close to nclex questions in delegating ....i have basic questions too..not a good sign...maybe even if i did good into basic questions...i dont know... ...i'll see in 2 days time...f i dont see my name then i failed..

i am tired of reading, i dont have the enthusiasm anymore yet i m testing in 10 days time, i dont know what to do again

Take a break for a day or two, go shopping, a movie, outdoor rec activities....

You're getting overwhelmed and maybe your brain/memory needs some rest.

I would also take a few hr breaks btwn my studying and do something enjoyable, as a reward(icecream, movie....) or as incentive to keep studying my butt off.

ibethandysa · Apr 21, 2008

Same here, Rose. There were some questions that were so obvious to me, and that's never a good sign. I didn't have any OB, no cardiac, barely any neuro, some GI, lots of endocrine, and oncology. *sigh* This sucks.
You know, one thing I can say, though is that Kaplan is veeeeeeeeeery close to the NCLEX questions. It was the same as the Hesi I took in nursing school, though. To be honest, I don't even want to check my results.
To the future NCLEX test takers this month, good luck! Definitely, DEFINITELY know infection control and how to prioritize.

I recommend the Mosby priority, delegation book...

During my test the very 2nd questions was a SATA and it seemed as if those would not stop, I got a few fill in the blanks and arranging things in order. I ordered the 250 new format questions book at the library to practice but it arrived the day after I tested. :down:

Have faith guys! I am still praying for you guys! :nurse:

Guys,

I am shocking down on my knees:redbeathe:redbeathe:redbeathe:grn:

yesterday definitely stopped studying, did some meditation so I could relax but I am getting scared right now oh:no:

Started my day chatting with my cousin from The Philippines so I could relax some more but then i looked at the clock it's quarter to 2PM..clock's ticking..

I wanna open my book but :no: :no: :no: , okay breathe, breathe, breathe some more:zzzzz

Lord, Please help me and the rest of April test-takers to pass this test.:plsebeg:
