I used the Hurst review, and passed in 75 questions. I liked their focus on knowing the core content, then going from there.

Did you find that the Hurst review covered enough content for the test? Did you have to supplement with anything else? I just started Hurst and I love it but I don't want to assume that it's enough..?

All I used to study for NCLEX was Hurst. I did the live review, read the book twice and reviewed the extra material that's online (the pharmacy and stuff) once. I passed my NCLEX with 75 questions on 6/14, about a month after I graduated.
There is no way to study everything that might be on the test, but I feel Hurst did good at covering core content well. I also downloaded an app for my phone called NCLEX Mastery (paid $20 for it) that has a ton of practice questions. I did them when I got bored sitting at home or in break at work. Maybe did 300 practice questions, not including 4 of the 6 Hurst Q-Reviews.

Hi! Do you recall what your Hurt QReview scores were? Mine are between 80-87/125. I am testing tomorrow...I also received a 98% chance of passing on my first attempt with the ATI predictor, but I am so nervous!! Any calming words would be greatly appreciated!
I don't remember howany I got right but I do know I scored 68-74% on the 4 I did. I had 2 friend who were scoring between 55-70% on theirs and passed their NCLEX.
Best advice I can give to is relax the night before, try to stay calm the day of. My friends said a prayer before we went in, not for us to pass but for us to stay calm (I'm not a religious person, but I did stay extremely calm during the exam, more than I thought I would!)
When your test starts, take a deep breath and know that you learned a lot in nursing school and you know your core content. Don't over think the questions. Go with your gut instinct in the answers.
Good luck!! I have my fingers crossed that you'll do well! :)
Thank you KKahn!! I have been doing a lot of praying! I really appreciate the support of others on this forum. Hurst has really helped me with content, and I am remaining optimistic I can apply it tomorrow!! Will post when I check PVT
