I was just wondering what is the average everybody is studying? This time around I don't want to rush. Ive been out of school for 3 years and I work full time, with a two year daughter. so it is kind of hard for me to hit the books. So I was thinking about studying for about 6months or a little longer. What is everybody thoughts?
I used Saunders 5th edition and Prentice hall and Nclex mastry and passed after multiple attempts... 8-12 weeks is a good amount of time...
can you email me some of your notes
Hi,
I think it all depends on you and your availability and dedication to studying. I know a lot of students from my program studied 2 weeks before their exam and passed. I, on the other hand, dedicated about one month to studying every single day for a good couple of hours.
The first step is to determine how much you can dedicate to studying. If you have responsibilities, perhaps spend a little more time and studying a little bit every day. If you are a little more free, study hard for a couple of weeks. At the end of the day, you need to keep doing practice questions. You can study content but the NCLEX is formatted in a way that it tests your ability to test, therefore my suggestion is to devote 2-3 weeks to doing as many practice questions as you can. I think 6 months is way too long and in time, you're going to only forget everything you studied in the first couple of months.
Good luck :)
