How much time should I take to study??? HELP:(

I didn't study at all, unless you count the threeish years I went to school. It turned out to be enough for me, and it's been enough for a lot of other people. Everyone is different.

Why are you an "LPN" on here if you haven't graduated or passed boards yet? Slow down a bit.

I just recently took the NCLEX-RN and passed in 75 questions. And I was someone who nearly didn't pass nursing school! In my opinion, NCLEX mastery is not enough to study for the exam. I had the app and it did not mimic the exam at all. I utilized Hurst and NCSBN and those are what helped me the most. They both had content and questions. As far as format, the exam looked very similar to Hurst. If you are nervous because of inadequate studying, then you should push it back to the next week. But if you feel as though you have it a great shot at studying and did as many questions as you could then keep the date. In all honesty, you might not ever feel absolutely ready because the test is so nerve wrecking.

I would not push it back. They say that the longer you wait after graduation, the harder it may be to get back into test mode as you did in school. Honestly, I studied an hour or two a day by answering questions and writing down topics for review. Relax and don't worry! Good luck and study hard.

Dont push it back. Your pass/fail will have more to do with what kind of student you were to begin with rather than what you can cram in few weeks. It will feel like your pulling off old knowledge to answer questions dealing with something you may have never heard of. They are trying to make you think in safety terms rather than knowledge/facts terms.
