I did 75 questions with 15-20 SATA, some drugs, priority and 1 exhibit. What study guides are you using?

i took the Don Anderson NCLEX review course that was a week in MA, now doing nclex 4000 questions, prep u questions (lippincott source my nursing schoool made us get), i also did questions and read from KAPLAN nclex-rn strategies practice and review 2011-2012 and i bought a book on prioritization, delegation, and assignment (but these questions are extremely difficult for me). i am getting between 50-60% on my practice tests and am taking NCLEX in 2 days so this kind of freaks me out. Advice/suggestions?

You have quite a comprehensive list. I think you should stick to the guide as your exam is coming in 2 days. Just take it easy the day before and not cramming all the information in your brain. I was adviced to relax and do things that make me happy and....have a good night rest! Make you feel good about yourself and face the NCLEX "devil" with confidence! Remember understand the questions before reading the answer. I repeatly reading the questions till I understand it and a few times for the answers too.

My first time mistakes: I freak out, didnt read the questions properly, jump into conclusion, knowledge deficit, not taking breaks. trust me, 265 questions in 3 hours is bad.

2nd attempt: relax, read in details, confidence (although not too much), happy to see SATA questions.

Let me say this I have been there......you need to calm down....and make a schedule....go over each system individually.....no more than a week or so...then do questions....but dont beat yourself up...I know its hard but its not the end of the world....and so many nurses had to retake....I hope this is helpful.

do u want to review ncsbn with me? i found it very helpful on my first take of exam even though i can say that they have an easy level questions but if u really get their rationale it will lead u to difficult questions in nclex.

and if u have saunders cd and la charity book it resembles the nclex exam. only if i had read this website before i think i would have had pass on my first take this website is also a great help since they have mneumonics.

what is ur email add so that we can be chat review buddies on skype.

I'm sorry to hear that. Go ahead and mourn for awhile, and when the time is right you just gotta get back up again, and fight back. I know it sounds cliche but retaking doesn't define who you are and what you'll be like as a nurse in the future. Ask yourself, "What were the review methods I used? Did they benefit me? Do I need to study in a different, more organized way? Is panic my number one enemy?" Revise your studying habits if you can, and take away all that doubt you have.

Failure is such a b*tch, and you will only lose if you give up and not go back.Cus one day you're gonna climb that Nclex mountain with pride and finally say, "I just whooped that Nclex down baby! " :)

Actually I used Kaplan but tht exam was different...heard 12 sata,priority,math question,exhibit and did 88....whn I did Pearson cue trick it took me to the page to pay.....I haven't heard anything from the board people....am so mad but hope I calm down....and accept it.

yeah thats what i felt too when i took mine last nov but i know what subj i failed as soon as i left that room. i didnt really know how to prioritize and the safety measures. i dont know kaplan but i think its the same with saunders. we just have to really read and understand whats the meaning of the rationales and we will do just like the others did to pass lets stay positive and calm down.

to be honest im freaking out up until now because of the result. i took a classroom review and they kept on saying if u get those kind of questions ull pass. heck i answered what they answered to those questions but i flank at safety, i dont know who to put into what room and what to do. i never actually read the cdc website for safety and so now i did. hopefully ill remember them when i take that exam the 2nd time and hopefully i will never ever have to seat for that exam ever again.

no worries if we got those kinds of questions it means that were close to passing. it means that few more reviews and we will pass. thats how its gonna end. WE WILL PASS! if they can pass we can also pass.

we 'll start off by studying in the subjects that we lack and then review everything else that we think might be on the test. lets stay positive kuya!
