I Passed w/75 questions

Specializes in Operating Room.

I took my NCLEX exam yesterday and just found out this morning that I passed. True to form, I felt like crap after the test was over. I really had no way to gauge how well/awful I was doing during the test but I remained focused on choosing the best answer I could. Needless to say,I felt that I didn't study enough. This is a normal feeling and I knew that it would be impossible to learn/know everything. The testing strategies I learned did not apply to most of my questions especially the harder priority/delegation ones. I had a lot of priority/delegation, psych and infection control questions. I had 4 SATA and one calculation.

If I can offer any advice to anyone, it would be to take the earplugs that are offered to you even if you think you might not use them. I happened to be wedged in between two people with colds that sneezed, sniffled, coughed and blew there nose the entire time they were in the testing center. I lost my focus and had to resort to using the earplugs and headphones I was offered.

The one book that I would recommend to anyone that can't afford to take a review course is Saunders 4th edition. It is the most complete review book in my opinion and I own quite a few review books. Another recommendation is the Hurst review if you can afford it. I must admit that throughout my test I heard Marlene's voice talking to me about the NCLEX Devil. I highly recommend the online review option. Don't let the sample video fool you, it is a great program. I used a combination of Hurst lectures with the Saunders CD and made sure that I did 100 questions each day.

Good luck

Good for you and congratulations, I still haven't passed it and have taken in the 4th time, and wow your result was fast.

Yeah was hoping I could do Suzanne's Plan, but I think she already stopped doing it.

If I knew I should have taken her plan before taking the 4th one, what a bummer.

I was going to do Suzanne's plan but I did not have enough time to do it. I believe that once you send her your information correctly via PM, you will be added to the mailing list. It may take a few weeks, but you should hear something soon.
