How many months did you study to pass the NCLEX?

Published

Hi guys! :) new member here! nice website and kudos for the admins here! :redpinkhe well anyway, just wanted to know if how many months should you prepare before the big exam. I'm planning to take it late January next year. so that means i have less than 2 months to study. any suggestions on how i will pass it with a limited time of studying? :crying2:

i graduated my pn program, signed up for the nclex-pn, and took it. i never opened a single study book. i passed with the minimum questions. i think if you went to a good school, then you shouldn't have to study! that was the whole point of nursing school :)

I graduate Oct 28 and took NCLEX-RN on 12/8, so 40 days? I only waited that long because when we got out ATT almost all of Nov was filled already and the 8th was offered in my town verses driving an hr or more to take it. I took it on a Thursday and started studying on the Sunday before. I did one Kaplan test trainer I found online and then 500 or so questions combined between Saunders and Evolve. Nothing I studied was on the test, but I still passed the first time. I had 75 questions and it took about 40min.
