SO here's my story.
I took my NCLEX today, Still don't know the results, but I got the good pop up and I only had 75 questions in little over an hour. I was a "B"- "B+" student. My last day of class was 12/21/13. As soon as I got all my info I signed up to take my NCLEX exam. The closest day happened to be in 6 days. I had been working in ATI for the past 18 months are required by our school and passed the ATI predictor with a 99% of passing NCLEX first go. I have been in Kaplan for about 6-7 weeks. I passed their predictor test with a 64.5 (which is pretty good). I cant say their decision tree helped but I think the higher acuity of questions helped and some of their pointers as well as the vast amount of qbanks they have available. I worked in a Hurst review book, Saunders, and Hogans. I did 6-700 questions 6 days a week for the past month. I used every available source to help me pass. Let's just hope I did. I would guess 45% of my test consisted of SATA (I hate them), I had drag and drops, and priority mainly. I didn't get one dosage calc question. Also for those of you who may not know this the test now consists on only generic named drugs. The used to have Brand and generic, so make sure to know both. I only got a handful of med questions.
Needless to say I hope I passed, but when I left I about cried, but I did get the good pop up. So lets hope!!
