Howdy, ALLNURSEers! I learned this morning that I passed the NCLEX with 76 questions! I studied A LOT for this exam and I am SO HAPPY to know that it wasn't in vain. Congrats to those who just passed and good luck to those who are taking the exam in the coming weeks! NOW I can forget about critical care! : )

Thank you, Jess, for the congrats!

As for tips, well, hmmm... Remain calm! Although you may perceive some of the questions to be "easy" during the exam, the folks at Pearson Vue may not. So, DO NOT allow yourself to become nervous if YOU think the questions are too easy. There are only so many ways to ask someone to figure out the correct dose for a med, right? Regardless of how may questions you receive (but especially if you have 75), do not forget that 15 questions are experimental and DO NOT count against you if you get them incorrect.

Assuming you have a fundamental knowledge base, try to do as many practice exams as you can. Highlight each topic you didn't know (like, um, Buerger's disease) and look them up in your patho book. Make note cards with the MAJOR points about those items (i.e. circulatory, men who smoke, causes hypertension) and review ten of them before you go to bed.

As your exam gets closer (i.e. three weeks or less), focus on the topics, etc. that you don't know and spend less time on the topics that you do. I learned a lot of information from practicing questions...lots of questions!

Good luck when the time comes!
