Good practice programs for NCLEX PN?

Hi everyone,

Well, I'm finally done with my LPN program- it actually went pretty fast. My school did the ATI program and I got a level 3 on the 1st try on each subject. On the "ungraded" comprehensive predictor with 180 questions I got an 85. So according to ATI, my chances of passing are 99%. However, I don't want to be overconfident and end up failing the NCLEX. I got good grades but not great- nothing lower than an 86 as a final grade. We just finished the ATI live review and I will do all the study plans on there but wondering if I should do anything else?

It almost seems too good to be true that the ATI is all I need at this point. Could it be? If I would be crazy not to do something else, are there other low-priced study programs that you all would recommend? I've heard of UWorld but I really would rather avoid spending $100's if I can avoid it. Of course, I also don't want to end up wishing I had just paid the $$ if I fail the NCLEX ?! 

Thanks for any help!

    7 Strategies to Pass the NCLEX Review

    Prepare for the National Council Licensure Examination, (NCLEX), at least 3 to 4 months in advance of the exam.

    To keep your focus, take several practice tests each day (between 80-100 questions).

    You must ensure that you have covered all topics and skills required for the official exam.

    Learn to understand and learn, not memorize. Before you answer a practice question, make sure to read it carefully.

    Notes are a great way to learn. Notes on the questions that you are studying will help reinforce your learning.

    For the right answers, read the reasoning.

    You can eliminate one or two options if you don't know what the answer is right away.

    Hi John,

    Thank you! I finally took the NCLEX on Oct 5 and passed. Your advice is spot on- that's pretty much just what I did. Practiced questions every day- well, almost every day ?. I still left the exam wondering if I actually passed, but that seems to be a common feeling. It's just a really strange exam, probably because it's adaptive so you end up getting a lot more wrong than on a normal exam. 

    Oh yeah I did UWorld for a couple months in the Spring, but it was just too expensive to continue when I realized I wasn't going to take the NCLEX for a few months. 

    Hopefully someone else will see this post and find it helpful. Thanks again!
