Effective April 2014

Oh wow she passed that's great, tell her congrats. Those sources are great that you have listed you're studying with, I've seen a lot of ppl pass with those sources their next time around too. Oh my goodness it's so good to hear that your friend felt that it wasn't hard this time.

Can you ask your friend what helped her the most. I'm in Florida I had to pay in total 290 it's crazy we all have to pay so much.

I am scheduled to test May 15, 2014 at 8 a.m. I wish they had afternoon appts like my first time but they don't. My brain is very efficient, alert, and works very well in the morning instead too, so I guess it's okay. This time around I actually have confidence in myself that I didn't have, and have gained knowledge of subjects that I didn't know much on, etc.. I know I'm ready now. I've been doing review of all sources in a steady pace and stop when I need a break, because I want what I

review to be firm in my mind, Especially ATI. I have decided 48 hrs before my test not to touch anything and also the day of my test. I figure A) I will give my brain a good rest B) if I don't know it by 48 hrs before the test, then I ain't ever gonna know it. I have prayed constantly from the time I had started to study, which will be about 3 months now, I am continuously continuing to pray, I believe prayer is powerful but i also know by me doing my part too, everything will be alright.

Good luck

Well the day is almost here for you. I wish you the best of luck with the test. Remember to take your time and read over the questions .In you mind cross out the ones that don't belong and the right will be there for sure. Everyone says elimited the wrong answers. I am still studying for my test I am hoping mid summer for sure. I am still working through my medication, on my test there was about 20 meds on my nclex.

From what my Instructor said the changes that were done in April 2014 were basically gearing the test more towards long term care.

Not exactly true. The details of the changes are on the NCSBN website.

As of this morning I'm officially a LPN! I want to thank everyone who has ever written what they have done to conquer the great beast named NCLEX-PN! The sources that I had stated helped ensured me passing. I knew very early on in the exam that I was passing. But I didn't not expect the computer to shut off at 85! I trembled for almost an hour after the test, that I couldn't drive back home right away. I had to talk on the phone until I was driveable lol! but I had one picture, and one low level question, about 2 to 3 questions that I flat out didn't know the answer too, so I really had to eliminate carefully the answers that really didn't make sense. I did take my time reading each question no matter what. I would look at the clock once in a while, but I would always go back to the question that was in front of me, and refocus on what the question is asking me. I had no math, I had alot of SATA and put in order. alot of times, I would get like 2 to 3 questions back to back that were SATA I didn't like that at all but I didn't let it side track me though. It felt like majority of my test were either SATA or put in order questions. Even though I had high level questions, and I felt Ok because I understood 100% of what was being asked of me, and I automatically had in my mind all the possible things that GOES WITH the situations, and NCLEX never once was able to shake me because of all the things I learned throughout my 3 months of studying. Thanks to the 3 sources I used througout the 3 months I took to study. Also thank you all who wished me luck for my exam. Also praying really calms you down alot, and helps too. Now I'm going to take the TEAS in June so I can get in the bridge program in my school, that starts in July. If there are questions please let me know. I'll be glad to give my opinion to you all.

I plan on studying the McGraw Hills 1st Edition book. I wonder is it worth it to purchase the second version..... please let me know. I still have my original TEAS V manual book. I plan on studying the back practice tests only and also do all 5 tests on the McGraw Hills book. If anyone who took the TEAS this year or know someone who took it this year and have helpful tips, please share!

I took the TEAS V last year. The first time that I took it, I used the McGraw hills 1st edition to study and I failed, to me the book didn't prepare me well for the exam. My second time around I used the Ati TEAS study manual. It's so much similar to the TEAS, and it focuses on what you need to know.

Hi, 'alilcloser' I'm sorry to hear you failed the fist time with Mc Graw Hills 1st. That's so crazy because of how so many ppl used it and passed with it. So how did you do with the ATI TEAS study manual ( which I had bought to have gotten into the LPN program?)? This time I have studied both books BUT I took my time and really went literally from page to page in my ATI TEAS V Manual and made sure I understoond everything in the book. I can say between 2012 studying and 2014 studying it's really different this time around! I really understood what's in the book and it was a much smoother studying, I don't know if it's because I had gone through LPN ( they say LPN do better, who knows!!!). Well I just want your opinion and everybody elses' opinion if it's possible. I even did the Test # 1 Practice test in the back too, I can say the science part .... I understand alot of it, but not 100% but pretty close this time around.
