The allied troops in my own mind/spirit is marching through to break through the frontlines of the NCLEX. haha just kidding guys. I take my test on July 3rd. I've been following the Saunder's assessment test calendar, doing 100Q a day plus reviews on the Saunders CD since May 18, 2009. My scores has been noticeably rising in the practice exams. I bought a Kaplan strategy book and got an 81% on the 180 exam from the CD.

I will continue to use the saunder's CD from my Q&A book and review rationales 100Q a day. Should I keep taking the "Content area = select all (all content)" exams or do it by client needs?

Thanks everyone. I'm not doing any questions today. I will be listening to Michael Jackson music and go to safeway to borrow a $1 DVD. Then I will go to the gym and do light weightlifting, not heavy today, and some cardio. During my gym-time i will play "eye of the tiger".

Alrighty, I took my NCLEX. Finished in about 2 hours. Ended at 75 questions. I had a total of about at least 10 alternate item format questions and the rest of the other questions seemed to get harder question after question. Lots of pharm, infection control, priority and a few of the "other" types. I felt good about most answers. I didn't walk out of there feeling like I answered a lot of questions wrong but I'm still nervous of the results. I just tried the pearson vue trick thing about 3-4 hours later. It says I already scheduled an exam and I must contact...cannot schedule an exam at this time...etc. Is this accurate even after a few hours?

That sounds like you passed, congrats. I'm in the same boat using the same materials. I just bought my Saunders book last night, I'm looking for a Kaplan strategy book and I'm not sure about what Q&A book I want just yet. I'm thinking Lippincott possibly.

Congratulations! :)

I wish my state participated in the Quick Results, but alas, I'm stuck waiting a while longer...

Its weird I had the exact dream of looking on the internet and seeing that red note saying quick results are available for $7.95. When I woke up, I looked in my iPhone in my bed while still trying to awake and saw the exact words on the site as my dream! So I quickly woke up and saw it was true. I think I was haunted by the pearson vue trick!
