Hey all!! I am freaking out 😨😨😨 after today i only have 4 more days until my test. I'm wondering what is the best way to prepare my last 4 days before the test so that it is effective. I have kaplan q bank ( 63% with all of qs done) and I have been using the ati review book. Any advice would be great I have to pass!!! I do have the ready to pass book and the 38 page study guide and plan on using that the next 4 days as well.

shelby929 69 Posts Jul 6, 2015 Awesome. Thanks for the support. I have to say ive been studying for about 5 week, i mean i probably studied 5 days each of the weeks, and did 3 or 4 hours each of those days. I feel like thats not enough but not much i can do now. Im trying my best to review weak points but its hard to make sure i remember everything im reviewing lol

shelby929 69 Posts Jul 6, 2015 I am the same day!! Good luck. We got this! I think £'m going to also just keep doing content review and questions up until then. It cant hurt.

The day before NCLEX: do NOT study. Instead, go have fun & go to the movies or for a massage. You don't want to show up to NCLEX burnt out from studying.
shelby929 69 Posts Jul 6, 2015 What did u do in terms of studying? Just questions and reviewing answers or did u do content as well
NurseIndependa 113 Posts Specializes in Emergency Department. Jul 6, 2015 I had done Hurst online. This just entailed watching their videos & filling out the study guide. I did not memorize any of it or learn it enough to teach it (which is what Aunt Marlene recommends you do). After watching each video twice, I stopped reviewing "content only" material & started doing straight questions. If you *really* feel like you need to review content, HeyRona on youtube has some great NCLEX charts. I just got to the point where I needed to take the darn test. I moved my exam date up by 3 days to a Saturday & it worked out for the best.
shelby929 69 Posts Jul 6, 2015 Yeah, as of now I'm still just doing a review of systems in Med Surg section in my ATI book just to continue to review. I plan on watching youtube videos at night b/c i remember so much better by videos!! I'll have to check out heyrona too. I feel ready to test, I'm just nervous as to what questions I will get. Do you recommend continuing questions until my test (3 more days), or just continue to review?My plan was continue each of the last 3 days with content during the day, and questions/videos at night.I also had tried to move my test up, unfortunately they are all full lol -_-. I just want this to be over!!!!!
