Can't study for the NCLEX anymore

Published

I'm taking the NCLEX on Oct 2nd (next mon) and i'm in my last week and i can't seem to study anymore. I took Kaplan and have been doing all the questions, reading rationales and studying some content. But i totally didn't get give my all. I think i need better studying habits and more discipline but I just can't make myself do it. And on top of that i sarted working 2 weeks ago and now i'm too tired to study when i get home. Some days i feel confident and that i can pass. and then i read stories about people that study like crazy and still fail. Am i doomed to fail too?

question:

do you recommend taking the Kaplan class NOW for a graduation in December, or taking it in December, and plan to sit for boards in Feb- March?

I'm torn between doing the class now, knowing I only have the questions for 90 days from now, or waiting til December (the next time I'll have a 4 day opportunity to take the class) and having the questions for the next 90 days from then?

Hey leslasic.... I graduated in july and i took Kaplan in the last couple of weeks of school. So maybe take it in dec upon graduation.... i wouldn't take it too early b/c the online stuff expires. For instance, I took the class in july and had access to the online stuff unitl oct 5th and i took my test on Oct 2.... so since u want to take the NCLEX in feb or march.... I wouldn't take Kaplan just now but in dec so you will have the materials available.

I'd wait until I graduate. There will be too much going on to bother with that right now, at least in my opinion. You can practice with one of the comprehensive study guides with the subjects you are currently studying at this time, and have a full fleged review once classes are finally over.

OMG I have not been able to study for the past 2 weeks. I take mine on Thurs. at 0900. I just want it over and pray to god that I can remember enough to pass it. I studied and studied til I was dreaming about it all up until 2 weeks ago. Good luck to everyone taking their exam this week.

Is normal to feel tired and overwhelmed, take a break... make something for yourself, something that you enjoy to do, forget NCLEX couple of hours ....talk with your friends, go to a movie, cook something real good , yummy, shopping.

When I feel like that I listen music .... dance, rock, glittering music, don't touch blues (at this time.). The rumors are many...let them away....I didn't pass yet NCLEX but I believe with all my soul that it is a professional exam very well built because is a CAT exam and computer don't lie!

So let's think positive! I am scared too but it's not important now, important is that we can do it....soooo... let's go to NCLEX CAT!
