I am taking my NCLEX on Monday after waiting for my ATT for what felt like the longest time. Once I finally got my ATT, I scheduled the first possible appointment. Boy, am I regretting that now!
I feel like I am not ready at all. Everyone keeps telling me I will do fine because I was a really good student, but I am terrified.
I couldn't afford the Kaplan review, but have access to the question trainers. Scores were:
QT 1- 63%
QT 2- 63%
QT 3- 59%
QT 4- 57%
QT 5- 60%
QT 6- 59%
(haven't done QT 7 yet)
Not too promising. I read a few things about Exam Cram 2 on this site today, so I went out and got it. So far today I have done about 400 questions from it. I am doing relatively good (which worries me) so my question is how do the Exam Cram 2 disk questions compare to NCLEX? Are they harder, easier, comparable? I am really freaking out over the NCLEX and know that I should probably calm down but any words of wisdom from those who have had the NCLEX experience or know of people who have tried this would really help me out. Thanks!

Exam cram is among one of the best NCLEX review out there. Same question format as NCLEX and also owned by person Vue.

if you feel u are not ready reschedule , try ncsbn learningext , mosby also , relax
hey NICU NIC! I will be fine just continuing working on your weak areas and doing questions looking over rationales. You have to stay positive and relax you can do this!:wink2:
I have been doing these Exam Cram 2 questions nonstop and have heard good things about it from the forums. So far, I feel pretty good about them. I really like that they give you previous questions that you got wrong (later not right away). It makes me think about why I got it wrong the first time, and why the answer they are giving is right.
I don't know if I genuinely feel like I am not ready or if I am just psyching myself out. I am devoting any spare time to studying and I just hope I nail this.
I did sign up for the NCSBN review also, and am alternating between their questions and Exam Cram.

In my opinion. Exam Cram works for me. I used it for 3 weeks and meticulously follow the step and finish everything on the CD. I passed. I considered this book very helpful and it feels like you are taking the real NCLEX. Remember the format of the book (adaptive) is the same as actual NCLEX.

Im currenlty studying for the NCLEX RN as well but a year ago I sat for my PN boards. Prior to taking the test I studied using the Exam Cram Cds. and Books and you know what I will swear on everything I love the questions that I had on my exam were the same exact questions from the ExamCram CD.
Hopefully this will work out on my next exam:)
Hi jasmine, I hope it will work out for me too. I passed my NCLEX-PN by only using exam cram and now I am Using Exam Cram-RN. I will be taking my exam 1st week of september. Goodluck :wink2:
