Do not review all content. That's a good way to get yourself into a mess!! You graduated, you have a solid knowledge base. Only review things that you don't know or are weak in.

I took the lpn test before I became an RN and I can say it's not that difficult. A lot of it is common sense.

Hi! What I'm doing is I have the chapters tagged in each study text I have and studying each system this way. So, for instance, I have Saunders open to Cardiovascular - I read this chapter, then move to Incredibly Easy (there are wonderful "cheat sheets" in each chapter), then I review with Exam Cram. After I've read from the different textbooks (they all have something to add and I find it helpful to read different authors/publishers) I move to the questions - Lippincott Review, Prioritization, Delegation, & Assignment, and finally Saunders CD study mode (I like study mode because you're testing and learning the rationales simultaneously). I learn pharmacology along the way according to each system. I do set aside time to review for pharm, dosage & calculations, and labs each week. My best friend is the cheap little spiral calendar I bought!! I organize my days this way & if something doesn't get done that particular day I just move it over to the next day. I have been told over and over (and over and over hahhaha) that I need to do at least 100 questions in the morning and another 100 in the evening. Honestly, it's great advice!!! Practice! Practice! Practice! This time I spend going over questions and the rationales are well worth it because I learn so much this way (and a lot of times it's stuff that I had not ever reviewed or learned before). I hope this helps guide you a little bit :)
