Hi Guys, I had to come here to let you guys know that I took the test today, Last night I logged here on the NCLEX forum, and looked around for the pearson view trick and what not, and some more information tips and what not to calm my nerves.
Anyways the testing center staff was great, I started my test at around 7:50AM. The first 10 questions were sort of iffy, but I flew through it till question 50 or so, then when I got to 72, I took a deep breath, concentrated, and said in about 10 questions I will just raise my hand and ask for a break. (I was feeling that I was going to get the whole 265) so then guess what??? It stopped at 75!!!! YEY, although I felt as I could use some more questions, because I thought I had not answered enough good ones.
Anyways at 8:50 AM I was out of there!
The test was crazy all over the place, had everything but OB and Cancer (thank you lord, I suck at cancer meds) had plenty of meds, mental health meds, mental health questions, acute care, peds, had maybe 16 or so SATA, had chart exhibits, had to listen to 1 question, had no med calc. Plenty of prioritization, infection control, delegation, pharm.
let me tell you, remember life before limb, acute versus chronic, ABCD's, what can the RN and the LPN do, and the infection control mnemonics.
Thanks be to God, that I fount those mnemonics here:
My Chicken has TB, SPiderMMMan, MRS WEE
those were awesome help HUUUUUGE!!!
so I logged on PV and saw delivery success, then I tried the trick and got the good pop up! I sure hope it is right, I will keep on re-checking it!
good luck to me, and to all of us!
If I fail, it was worth the experience, the NCLEX can be all things but is certainly not a monster, if I did not pass, bring it on!

no review classes (I could not afford them)
I had the iPhone app for saunders and answered all the 2072 questions
I had the mosby NCLEX book - the best by far in my opinion, (the questions were awesome, rationales simple, to the point, easy to understand) and this book was harder than the NCLEX itself!
also the mosby assignment, delegation by LaCharity, which is awesome aswell!
and that is all, plus that mnemonic, which is a God given gift, and the random fact thread that helped a lot!

i hope il pass... btw, CONGRATS u did it n God Bless!! :)
