How do I study for the NCLEX??

i would say that when you are in school focus on school. get what you can form that and it will count as study time for nclex. on weekends if you have time do some review on the areas you are studying that week for reinforcement. then once you graduate take kaplan (which i feel helped alot once i was comfortable with their "technique") and use the ncsbn website as well. that helped me alot. i studied for 2 months after graduation and had a 75 question pass.

remember... do what you feel will help you the most and do your best.

Good point....focus on school while I'm still in school. Do you think that most people take the NCLEX about 2 months after graduation? I graduate on December 18th, but figured with the holidays around the corner that there was no way I was going to study. Should I take it closer to the end of February?

Just focus on school!! When I was in school, I think about taking as early as I can like you.... but I was so busy... you can prepare for it in one month after graduation during the paperwork processing.

I found Kaplan helpful, along with Kaplan's companion book with test strategies. Focus on school, but when school is out, do lots of practice questions and study rationales as to why the answer is right or wrong. Do study content, but focus on questions and keep believing in yourself.
