Firstly, I wanna thank all who took the time out to post their personal stories about the nclex test...Also whoever put the 39p study guide on this website I just wanna say TTTTHHHHAAAANNNKKKKK YYYYOOOOUUUU!!!!!!!!!!
I tested on Friday(3-9) I just checked pearson vue quik results and found out I passed! I finished with 205 questions; mostly priority, delegation, teaching questions...& I stopped counting after 12 SATA's, I also had 3 drag & drop, and 1 calc question....
Im soooo relieved now....I wish I could say more right now, but the excitement is taking over! My friends & family are waiting for me to take me out to celebrate!!!!
Thanking you "All" in advance, Ill be back on later 2nite :-))))))))))))))

Hi Karen!!
Welcome...First lemme tell you I am a poor test taker & struggled with tests all through nursing school...The only material I used to study from was Kaplan strategies book,($25.99 from B&N) the info from this website, saunders comprehensive, and a lil from other sources.
Now with the SATA ?'s, I wasnt too worried when I got a SATA question vause at that point I knew I was doing well. Even when I knew I got that question wrong, I knew I had to answer the next on e correctly(it would be a weaker ?) Also, I knew the content for what they were asking and I answered them as "true/false" questions. Just know everytime you get a SATA u know you're doing well, and even if you get the SATA question wrong, you will get a weaker question, just be sure to answer the next right.
For study time: I JUST SIMPLY BUCKLED DOWN!
I cut some friends off, I took 2 weeks off of work, and I applied myself to a study plan...8hrs a-day(2hrs at a time)...I studied the areas where I was most weak in 1st, then I studied the labs, meds, & diseases...Im so glad almost everything that was on the 39 page study guide was on my nclex test!!
I hope this eases your mind, Im wishing you good Luck & praises!!!
Yes it helped me alot!! I also used the kaplan strategies to answer all my priority ?'s.
The main things I focused on were Meds(side effects, & s/s), disease process, LABS, and how to answer the questions....I felt like once I knew the content, I needed to learn how to answer the questions(and it worked!)
with the med questions I focused on the suffix since I had previously grouped the meds according to their suffix(Dipine, lol's, ards, sartans, ect.,) With the labs, I used family members ages to remember the values, (silly, I know, but it helped!)
Hope that lil bit of info helped.
Good luck on your test! I'll be prayn for all who will be taking the test! :-)))
