Hi there! My no. 1 advice is to never to give up! I never did the suzanne plan but I got a good content book like saunders or ATI review book, and a Kaplan RN critical thinking strategies book(PN is also available)and read that for 4 good weeks. I believe you need a dose of supplied content and critical thinking skills to pass the exam. For example, Monday I would study renal I would read renal content and later do a minimal of 80-100 Q from my cds. Kaplan book I read each main chapter per day. Best luck!

Don't even think about the exam until you get your official results. Assume you passed and give yourself credit for having tested.
Thanks for the advice I appreciate it! I will begin to study tmrw :-) I just wish I cld see my report to see what my weak areas ....too bad I have to wait 30 days.
Thanks! Time to buckle down and prepare to study again:-(
