Does anyone study from their class notes?

Well I was intending to then I felt like I did not have time to do both. When I started reading my review book I felt that it was pretty detailed and enough info to pass the test. I had saved all my powerpoint copied notes from school. Better than flash cards but I didn't want to feel overwelmed and confused by the differing formats. I found that my review book gave enough info that I understood the material not just memorizing it. It is the blue and white Prentice Hall Pn review book. I am glad I did not go into my school books. I might have took up too much time on one subject. If you had good grades I think that should be good enough and then do many questions to get used to how they are. I scored in the 96th percentile on the NLN test they gave at the end of school but scored poorly on the practice Nclex on the computer in class because I was exhausted from work the weekend before. So make sure you get good rest before the test. Maybe exercise the day before so you sleep good that night. Burn off that nervous energy. I intended to do that and ended up trying to study the day before and fell asleep on my book in the afternoon and did not sleep good that night before the test. I should have put the book down and went for a really long walk and to bed early.

I would say better to concentrate on answering questions. Get used to how the questions are asked and the different style of formats there are

Most of my notes have always been too poor to be of use. Sometimes I wonder why I ever bothered to take notes at all.
