THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My hints is know your content well, answer questions more for test strategies and knowing how to approach the test because I've done questions mainly from Kaplan and Saunders. I somethings did Mosby, Davis, NCLEX 3500 and I still can't say any of the questions styles were that close. Maybe Kaplan was the slosest but even then not really more the priority questions and theire stratgegy style. NCLEX to me was pretty straight to the point. Our school took the HESI and HESI was so wordy and gave useless information which always confused me in what they were looking for. So I thought NCLEX was a bit easier but the HESI and NCLEX are very different from each other if you ask me.
I didn't get any Math or OB questions on my exam. I got 11 SATA, Priority, Teaching, Infection Control, Medications, 2 EKG questions, Peds, Psych. I didn't think the test was too hard or too easy I thought it was fair.
Listen I have never been a good test taker like seriously. I take that back I've never done well on standardized exam because once I knew what my teacher liked to test on I did ok that's how I got out of nursing school but back to standarized exam even the SAT I did just enough to get into college. The HESI I took 3 times. And its not like I don't know the information that's why I say you must know your content but you must also understand the test, the strategies and know what they are wanting from you. Know your symptoms, your normals vs abnormals, abc's, maslow, etc. The more questions you do the more you well start to see a connection of how these NCLEX people think. Pay attention to what question you have on your screen, that's our only patient. Even if you never heard of something see if you can figure it out from the answer choices.
Oh and the day before the test don't anything. I have never listened to this advice but I did for the NCLEX and it actually helped my anxiety level go way down then normal. I mean of course you will be anxious but PRAY and cast all your worries and fears unto the LORD. PRAY AND PRAY HARD!!!!!!!!! Keep the Lord on your side and you will be sucessful.
Be confident!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU LORD and Thank you AllNurses Forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
