Ball of Nerves!!! Help!!!!

OP first of all I don't know that I have any real "advice" as I am still waiting on my ATT and am thus not an expert here. However, I just wanted to stop by and give you some encouragement. You still have a week and a couple of days! And you've been studying non-stop. I think you need to give yourself a little bit of break time and try to do some things to reduce your anxiety. If you truly still feel that you are not prepared on Monday or Tuesday, is it too late to reschedule your NCLEX in your state?

I recommend UWorld; the rationales are more in depth than Kaplan unless you study with the ebook that Kaplan provides.

I had such a bad day yesterday I went ahead and rescheduled the exam I think that was best bet! I really felt discouraged seeing the low scores on Kaplan and then taking a mini sim of the nclex on nurse mastery and only getting a 62% of passing! So I’m going to start studying smarter and go back in with a brief content review to build my confidence back up I rather take it the first time knowing I tried my best then not and end up failing.

I hear wonderful reviews about uworld and I’ve made a decision to push the nclex back and study using that for 2/3 weeks before I take my test!

Hello! I took Kaplan Live Class. Based on the instructor you should aim for at least 60% on Readiness test & at least 65% on other tests like QBank & question trainers. If your scores are within those range or above, then I guess you are doing fine. ?

Totally understand that! Well good luck, sounds like you are aware of where you're at and have made a good choice for yourself. When are you scheduled now? I wish you happy studying!

Just a week so Feb 1st! I didn’t want to push it back that much especially when I’ve been studying so much already!
