How long have you been preparing for the nclex?

Published

I bought Saunders Comprehensive Review and PDA. I would like to take the Nclex late March but I don't think I'm gonna get through these books by then? Any suggestions? Thanks.

I did 4weeks intensive study and I passed the first try. If you set a standard study schedule you should be able to get thru... you have time

Goodluck on your test!

I did Kaplan. Worked on Qbank for 4 weeks, doing 0-150 questions a day. Yes, it was during holidays so I slacked quite a bit. But I would say two weeks of intense studying. I did pass on my first try and a lot of my questions were things that were DRILLED into us in school. Everyone has their own study style. I personally cannot overstudy for anything. Best of luck to you!

The key will be to practice QUESTIONS!!! I cannot stress that enough! If you don't read as much as you had hoped, that is okay. I would recommend you do around 1,000 practice questions. Again, everyone is different. :specs:
