How long did you wait

How long after graduation did you wait to take your NCLEX?? I graduate at the end of August and am wondering how long it will be before I am able to take the test...

Graduated June 12, 2012. Took today, July 31. Passed with only 75 questions......if the Pearson Vue trick is correct. I did feel good about it after I took it. Used the Virtual ATI system.

I waited almost 3 months. Most of my friends did nclex within 2 months. I would do it sooner rather than later.

Graduated May 5, Took NCLEX July 27.

Only reason I took my time is so I could keep my current job.

I graduated in December 2010 and took the NCLEX towards the end of March 2011. I took a month-long "break" and enrolled in an NCLEX review course afterwards. I studied my butt off...I never felt ready for the NCLEX and I don't think anyone ever will feel ready, tbh.
