I took the exam last Monday and saw my name online (CA BRN) this morning (Thursday). I wanna say thank you to all members. This site was a source of support and study materials for me. I will try to copy this site some of the materials I used which I also got online from some helpful people.
My experience wasn't too bad. I got a lot of prioritization and infection control questions, 5 SATA and 6 meds. When I hit 60 I knew I already passed so I kept looking at the time and the item number expecting it to shut off at 75. And it did.
In fact, I was ready to take it as soon as I got my ATT but my friends suggested I review first. So I reviewed for 2 months on my own using all the books I can borrow from the library. Yep, I did not pay any review center and bought just 1 book - Mosby's Delegation, prioritization & assignment (good practice material).
Seriously, I think I overprepared. You only need 52% to pass but I was scoring from 68%-80% on my Kaplan Trainers (which I downloaded online for free).
Anyway, my advice is know thyself... Know the areas you are weak and work on it.. trust your judgment, you will know when you are prepared or not..and there is no need to be overly prepared.. time is money also..
