How many NCLEX questions have you done?!

I'm just curious and a little nosy too! :) I want to know how many practice questions you all have done so far to prepare for NCLEX, or how many total you did if you have already taken NCLEX. So far I have done 3200, and still have 9 days to go for NCLEX! I think I'm getting obsessed with numbers!

I haven't taken the NCLEX yet. So far, I have done about 4000 questions, and I have 2 more solid weeks left to study. I can get about 75-200 questions done a day. I've been using Saunders and Kaplan, and also did the Hurst review for content.

I really haven't been counting, but I believe that I've done a little over 3000 since the beginning of May. My main focus is understanding the rationales to the answers that I've got wrong and right and priority type questions. Anyway, I'm taking the big test next thursday and starting to get really nervous about this thing.

What books or etc are you using to prepare for this? I'm using Saunder's, Kaplan, and the NCSBN site.

I've been using a variety of books with CDs to do my practice questions: Mosby, Lippincott, Saunders, Kaplan, and Incredibly Easy. Wow, 6000! :) That's great! :)

Keep on going the more the better. I did 5,000 before sitting and passed with 83 questions. Believe me a couple of the questions you have done you will see them again in one way or another on the NCLEX! I did. I used Delmar, Kaplan, Kaplan Trainer CD, NCLEX 3500, Lippincott, and Saunders.
