How Long Did it Take to Study and Pass Your NCLEX After Graduating?

About a month. I graduated on Dec 12/18/21 and didn't begin studying until around January 3rd. I took the NCLEX RN on February 2nd and I passed in 90 questions. I used Kaplan, ATI and Sanders. Of the three, I feel Kaplan helped me the most.
Thank you so much! @Berazil, BSN
I'm nervous about the upcoming NCLEX RN on April 2022

We had to study 200 questions per week during the last semester. Once I graduated, I did 50-100 question practice tests each day for 5 weeks.
Thank you! @NICU Guy, BSN, RN

After graduating, I had about two weeks of dedicated NCLEX study time. I only used Kaplan and did 75 Q Bank questions every day, and remediated all the ones I got wrong or guessed on. My scores ranged from low 50s to low 60s. I passed the NCLEX in 75 questions. 40-50% of my questions were SATA and I had zero med math questions.
You don't need as much time to study as you think because you've been preparing for NCLEX since you started nursing school.
