I failed my NCLEX on the first try and now are getting back in track of studying on weak areas and what not.
I noticed that i needed some content and also strategy, so i decided to do Hurst first all lectures to refresh and then Kaplan for question strategy to prepare to retake.
Can someone tell me if they have used the same strategy and if they have, has this worked for you ?
I just reviewed the Electrolyte and Fluids and Orthopedics because i am terrible in those, and i felt like i had forgotten so much ferom school already.
Anyway, after the review i felt like i understood so much more.
I just took the Qtrainers 7 I got 60% total my highest were Pharmacology 62% Management care 69% Basic care and Comfort 62% and the rest were between 57% and 59% I am finishing now reviewing 35 pages and I will review questions and do more PDA and review strategies! I am nervous my exams in few days :( but staying positive because I improved I believe that I worked hard to become better in test taking! Any tips!
That is great!!!!!! Happy for you!!! we have much in common, my husband also an MD helped me go through some concepts right before the test, we went over qtrainer 7 together and I learned some concepts, maybe you can do that with your boyfriend! Just make sure you understand it very well and apply that knowledge to similar situations, oh I also studied heyronas notes from youtube, I can email them to you!!! Let me see if I can private message you to send you those notes, it didn't take me but 1hr to go over them. But really my best advice is to relax the day of the test, believe that you will pass!!! Take your time for each question, take your break, eat some snacks (snickers) LOL take deep breathes, YOU GOT THIS!!!
