good pop up yesterday

Published

I took my nclex yesterday at 8 am. My test shut off at around 120 questions and I really thought I failed. I waited about 5 hours to do the "pearsonvue trick" and literally started hyperventilating when I got the "good pop up". I cried from happiness off and on all day. I am so excited for the next chapter of my life :)

Congratulations!!! Happy for you!

What did you use to study and do you think it helped for NCLEX? What did you think about the actual test - harder or easier than you thought?

The best advice I can give is to expose your self to at least 150 questions a day. Do no more than 265. Read every rationale. I used NCSBN, nclex 10,000, nclex 4,000, nclex mastery and the Saunders CD. M-F for three weeks I did at least four hours of questions a day. The nclex was hard but I was ready to handle all 265 questions if needed.

Thanks for your advice. I have NCSBN - did you like it for content or did you do all the q's only? If you did q's only, did you look up the q's you got wrong and/or content areas you were fuzzy on? Besides NCSBN, I have HURST, Kaplan and LaCharity. I'm doing some content review and q's - though will start doing more q's and less content review.

Thanks again and congrats!!

I just read the pharmacology section and did ALL the questions. Those questions were a lot like the ones on NCLEX.
