Hi naipeee,

Hi bbie17!... to tell you honestly!--- most of my exam questions weren't on my reviews in kaplan.. that's why whenever i clicked on "NEXT" and see the questions-- i actually told myself-- "Oh My.. i don't know this stuff-- but ofcourse using rationalization to each answers will help you eliminate... Kaplan was a big help for me... but after i studied the Qbank and Qtrainers-- i got tired of repeating them which i would actually know the right answer without reading the question... i felt like i was cheating and got bored of reading the rationales-- so i went to Barnes and Nobles and spent like 4-5 hours of reading diff kinds of books like Saunders Q&A, Exam Cram, NCLEX made easy-- but i liked the Saunders and Exam Cram but the seemed easier than Kaplan.. but different questions will enchance your knowledge to pick the best answer..

some of the questions i remembered them through Med_surg 1 and 2 during school days and never encountered in NCLEX practice questions AT ALL!... I got like 15 SATA, 13 meds (w/c like only 5 of them I knew), lots of prioritizations and infection control... then after 2 hours it asked me for a break -- i didn't take it coz i wanna get it over with... then after like 3 questions--- it stopped at 75... then took the survey in the end--- I said "i need more questions to answer!!!"... coz for all the SATA--- damn... i don't even know if i got most of them right and even meds too!-- so yeah.. i was driving home crying and talking to myself... asking for HIS blessings and guidance... i went home tried the PVT --it says ON HOLD... i went shopping after few hours just to let my mind set off for a while (coz i was literally crazy during that time thinking it's a 50-50 chance of passing).. then I came home-- i checked it again-- it changed to "You just took the exam and call the boards if you got question"... that that was the infamous pop-up that I was waiting for... i still haven't told my parents coz i don't wanna jinx it.. ill just wait for my name to appear on the BON then print it out-- put it in a gift box then give it to my parents as a gift!... lol... a dream that became a reality-- but of course i want this to be OFFICIAL.. so i really have to wait for that day...

I encourage you to practice more and more questions as mch as you can!!.. that's what I did and it helped me t understand the reason behind that right answer! and Never lose hope and faith.. pray always and ask for his blessings.. wish you all the best!! :redbeathe
