Getting nervous about the NCLEX

[blessednurse87]

I finally got my sit pass for the NCLEX-RN, and I scheduled to take it on Sep. 26. I just finished the Kaplan Qbank with 62% correct, and I also did all the question trainers and what not in the course...we were forced to take the Kaplan Complete course in our last semester of school. I got a 61% on the Diagnostic test, and a 63% on the Readiness test. I have about two weeks before the exam, and I'm getting soooo nervous! I'm doing Exam Cram questions now...do ya'll think I'm prepared for the exam, or should I just keep practicing questions????

Keep practicing until the exam... but DON'T stress!! Sounds like you are doing AWESOME.. those are all of the goals that you should be meeting. I am using Exam Cram and really feeling like it has really helped me. I took the NCLEX once already (oops) so I can say for certain that Exam Cram questions and Kaplan are like the real deal if not a little harder. Keep chugging along, but no need to freak out. Just keep yourself in the question-answering mindset until test day.

and GOOD LUCK!!!!

You're doing just fine! Now's the time to just practice questions for the next two weeks and get yourself in NCLEX mode. Also, practice some relaxation techniques so that you can be calm for the test. The NCLEX is definitely passable, some people just have a hard time getting their nerves together in order to understand what's really being asked.

Don't worry about the scores you'll get on Kaplan or Exam Cram from this moment on. Just understand the testing techniques and you'll do great! The test can definitely bring out some questions from left field, but since you know how dissect it correctly then you'll pass in no time!

Good Luck to you!
