How much studying for NCLEX?

Specializes in NICU.

Hi All,

I graduated 2 weeks ago, and have been made eligible by my state board of nursing and am just waiting for my ATT from Pearson. Idealy, all the documentation verification would be completed and I could test right after graduation. But I hope to test before the end of the month, which would be 4 weeks +/- post grad. I took a week off after graduation to rest my brain and body which is going to give me about 3 weeks of studying. But I have a tendency to over study. I did ATI through my school, then HURST review, am going through NCSBN 3-week plan, and have Saunder's if I end up testing later. I'm averaging about 4-5 hours of studying a day which isn't as much as I would like to do. I feel pretty strong on the concepts but am still struggling with prioritization. How much and how often did any of you study while waiting to test?
