I didn't study very long or very well. I thought I was lucky to pass the test.

I studied for 4 weeks. I used Saunders and the Kaplan Strategies book. Passed the 1st time with a little over 200 questions. It is all a blurr.

How long you study is depends on how much stuff you retained in nursing school. So far, I have a 6-week plan, but it seems that I remember quite a lot of inormation. I may test sooner than later while everything is still fresh. I plan to keep doing saunders and kaplan strategies by doing 150 questions per day.

Yea I agree. It depends on ur nursng foundations and learnings during ur nursing school.

I took the Hurst Review the last week of April and after that did between 200 and 300 questions a day. I used NCSBN, Saunders's and Mosby's. Tested on the 20 of May and plassed NCLEX-RN with 75 questions. Make sure to do analysis and application questions.
