not yet. but i will. its in claremont ca, and its going to start on nov 1st. yeah,, ive heard a lot of good things too. one of my friends friend recommended it. SO are you going to enroll too? i much prefer excell because they have 80hrs of sessions and i think they really want all their students to pass. and they make sure of that.

Hi, I enrolled in Excell in August, and I have to say, it was the best decision I have ever made. The review is entertaining, and yet you walk out every class session feeling like you can pass NCLEX. I was not a first time passer, I took it twice before enrolling in Excell, and just those ten days of review as well as about 3 weeks of going over the class notes got me to pass. Enjoy the review, and let us know how it went.

@ JMD813 -Wow your inspiring. I took the NCLEX twice and did not pass and this is the reason why I want to take Excell. So after doing Excell, did you just study the notes or did you study other NCLEX books such as Saunders. Did you practice questions while you were doing Excell? Can you give me an idea on how your schedule was like when you were doing Excell?

@Soulsistah: I sticked to the Excell notes, I have Saunders and Exam Cram and a bunch of other NCLEX books, but after taking Excell I just put everything aside except for the notes. I basically just divided the topics, and stuck to the study schedule I made for myself. Each day I read only from one topic, and didn't mix the different topics, because knowing me I would get overwhelmed. Each day I read only what I had scheduled to read and did answer practice questions each day, but did about 50 or so after reading each day. The first week I made sure to answer questions based on the topic I had just read, and just followed my schedule up to my testing day. The main thing for me was to not get overwhelmed, which is exactly what happened to me the first two times while studying. I know that you probably feel like you need to study 6 or so hours a day, and if that works for you ,then by all means go for it. I have such a short attention span, that I would lose focus about an hour and a half into reading, so I broke down my notes into smaller sections and just read about 22 pages of my notes per day, and then did practice questions. Whatever works for you, go for it, and just don't stray from your schedule that you make for yourself, and you'll do great.

@Red4pag: Yes, Excell has some practice questions that I reviewed, they were really good to practice off of, I used the Lacharity book as well to practice on the prioritization and delegation type of questions on NCLEX. That book is amazing as well. Best of luck and let us know how testing goes!
