I finally passed my NCLEX RN exam. I was all over the place studying book after book when all I needed was the books and study guides below. If you are like me, I have a short attention span, my mind wonders, and really bad test anxiety. The study materials I used are:
1.) The Kaplan On demand course ( I listened to the lectures, qbank, tests 1-7, pretest & post test, alternate item questions, and the session videos)
2.) LaCharity Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment: Practice Exercises for the NCLEX Examination, 3e (I didn't do the case study...only the questions)
3.) 35 page study guide (which I attached and is floating around online)
4.) 97 page study guide
5.)Strategies for Alternate Item Formats on the NCLEX-RN® Exam by Linda Anne Silvestri
**I was horrible with SATA questions. These items helped me a lot. My exam stopped at 75 questions and I passed. This was my third time taking it. The first time my exam stopped at 75 questions and I failed. The second time it stopped at 169 questions because I ran out of time.
** I bought a calendar and wrote down a daily study schedule all the way up to my test day. I would recommend 30 days to complete this, but if you are easily distracted like me it will take 45 days.
I only have a paper copy of the 97 page study guide. If you google 97 page nclex study guide, the link to the youtube video will come up on how to purchase it.
RNN7, it will be easier to visualize yourself doing each step because my NCLEX questions did not include every step. One question usually have about 10 steps and it only had 4 steps listed. The Kaplan and Alternate question helped with those
I forgot to tell everyone to pray everyday, before getting out the car at nclex place, sitting in the nclex waiting room, before starting exam, and after the exam. Prayer changes things. "i can do all things through christ who strengthens me".
Thank you for posted the information NCLEX. Do you have any thing that help for the ATI comprehensive predictor 2013 ? I am going to take ATI Comp predictor in december 8. If you do please send it to email [email protected]
I just paid the quick result, I did it! I passed the nclex RN with 75 questions. thanks for all your prayers. I used Saunders comprehensive review, prioritization by Linda LaCharity, Kaplan question trainer4-7, and NCSBN questions. Prayers, prayers, prayers.Goodluck to everyone.
