Thanks for the encouragement and tips. I test NCLEX in 3 weeks and have been using ATI review (paid for as part of my degree), and UWorld and NRSNG.com for Q-banks. I do like the Rationales of UWorld as well and the NRSNG.com rationales are also good. I don't want to take this test twice.

I recently passed the NCLEX within 75 questions. I used this site to help determine what study tools to use and wanted to share my experience with you those who will be taking it in the future. I would recommend taking soon after you graduate. I took my exam within 2 1/2 weeks after my review course and passed on the first try.
I would highly recommend Hurst to those who need a quick rundown on core content like I did. I did all six Q reviews and used UWorld for practice questions. I fell in love with UWorld and felt the rationales were very helpful. My scores on the Q review were 77/77/78/80/78/76 out of 125. My overall score on Uworld was 65%, but I only got through half the questions. I wouldn't focus too much on the scores, but more on understanding the rationales for each question.
Stay positive, take breaks, don't overwhelm yourself, and breathe! You don't have to know everything!! Good luck.
