How I passed NCLEX RN 2015

[Jmansfield008]

I passed my NCLEX yesterday and am so excited! Here's a quick overview of how I passed in 75 questions: I used the Lippincott Q&A book. Did all 6000 questions in 5 weeks. I read every rationale whether I got the question right or wrong, and if I did get it wrong I would look up the info so it was clear. I used Saunders to reinforce info that I was unsure about. And lastly I used the LaCharity prioritization book. It's a quick read, only about 20 chapters and SUPER helpful. Definitely a must have! So that's everything I used:). No review course necessary! I studied for 5 weeks and was well prepared for the test. On the day of the exam I read over the all nurses study guide that floated around on here. My exam had a TON of SATA, probably 40.. And 2 drag and drop, one med calculation question, and one picture. The questions were similar to Lippincott in my opinion. I hope this helps someone! Just remember to breathe through the test. I was super anxious but took some cleansing breaths and felt much better. Remember you have the knowledge! Go with your gut, you got this!:) good luck future nurses!

I winged it. My local testing center had an opening 2 days away and I figured I would give it a shot. I passed with 75 questions in about an hour. No crazy studying. I did NCLEX mastery, Saunders and LaCharity. If you have a good grasp of content then I would absolutely focus on LaCharity. Most of my exam was prioritization SATA questions. I didn't count but I'm guessing close to 50 questions were SATA.

Mi took my exam within 3 weeks of graduation. I figured that if I was ever going to know the info, it would be right away.

Just thought i would would piggyback on your post and share my experience as well.
