I Passed the NCLEX

[Aquarian]

After what seemed like a series of anginas, from the time I took the faster than lightning exam to the quickresults... I can finally say..I passed the NCLEX!!! Computer stopped at 75 with 5 hours remaining. I finished Saunders Compre 3rd ed. and practiced answering qxs (Kaplan,Lippincott, ncsbn) only with the extra time left. Thanks for the support of all the people here, especially the ever-so-patient Suzanne!:icon_hug:

mhae,

if you're going to apply in IL, you dont need to take CG exam anymore. they just need the CES. then you can take the nclex.

Hi, Mhae! This is just a word of caution. If you want to be petitioned and work as an RN, then you need to pass your NCLEX to have the RN license. The ones who get petitioned with just the CGFNS certificate and the Visascreen almost always end up as a CNA.

hey mash, uhmm i took toefl ibt at ateneo prof center in makati. yeah most review centers are focusing on ielts, and if they do.. it is quite expensive. i applied online (which is easier) just check the website www.toefl.com and ul get all the info that u need. from there u can choose where u would like to take the exam (here in the phils), just click the appropriate buttons. they also have a free practice test there once u register with them. u can also find other free toefl ibt practice tests online like kaplan or other english sites, just search for it.

since most review centers are offering ielts review, i opted for self review instead. ielts and toefl both test ur mastery of english, but administered quite differently. for one thing toefl tests ur comprehension in all parts. ud be reading and listening to an audio then followed by a set of questions about it, based on how u understood it. in the speaking part,ud still be hearing a conversation and be reading a passage,then u would be asked to intergrate the two..the thing is u would be speaking with ur headset on, so eveything u say would be recorded. ur only given 15secs to prepare and a minute to speak. in the writing part, ud be asked to make an essay of about 250-300 max of words, then ud type it using ur keyboard..it would be of ur advantage if u can type at a good speed so u would still have time to compose ur thoughts and edit it.so reviewing ielts for toefl wont do u much good.

they said that toefl is quite difficult as that of the ielts exam. i suggest u take a hold of Barron's How to prepare For Toefl IBt book (u can buy one along morayta), the original is way too expensive but in morayta u can get it for php800. it has 10 audio CDs, and several practice tests. the key to stack the exam is to practice practice practice!!! so u would get used to it how it is given. and when u speak,make it loud and clear, be confident.

i only had a week to really finish the whole book, and work on it.. i got a score of a 100/120 with speaking of 28/30, writing of 28/30. im not here to brag abt it,i just wnt to encourage u that u dont really need a review center to make it. u just have to focus, and master it.. the book helped me a lot. and hey if i made it, im sure u will too...

"bring it on!!"

wow!

thanx....

you made my day!

i super appreciate this....

and, nice score...cool!

goodluck...

God bless....
