I suggest you start studying those questions now! There are some NCLEX study books that go by body systems and I would suggest when you are in a class on a certain system study the chapter that pertains to it in your NCLEX study book (i.e. when you are in a class dealing with the respiratory system also study the respiratory chapter in your NCLEX book, ...this will not only start preparing you NOW for your NCLEX but it could allow you to excel in your class!! Good Luck to you!!

Start now. The pat answer is to tell all nursing students that they start studying for the NCLEX on the first day of nursing school. It would not hurt to get your review book and start to answer questions now. The more you do now, the less stress you will have as the test date approaches. Good luck.

Most of the students in my RN classes either had Saunders or Exam Cram.
