I take my NCLEX PN tomorrow and i am a nervous wreck!

Published

Hi everyone! I'm taking my nclex pn tomorrow at 8am and i am sooo nervous! I graduated 2 weeks ago. I've been studying for about 3 months and I did pretty well in school. My kaplan practice tests have been between 60-70%. I am terrible at SATA. I want to pass more than anything! Please give me advice to stay calm!

Think of SATA as four separate true/false question. Consider each option separately and apart from all the others.

Take your time and you'll be fine. Good luck!

If you did well in school, you're going to do fine on the test. Don't study anymore. Try to get the right amount of sleep. Don't study before you go in to take the test, read a comic book, or do a crossword puzzle or something.

I took practise board exams before my state boards and usually scored in the 70 percentile. I had four years' experience as an EMT and seven as an LPN and thought, "What am I doing wrong? I know this stuff!" when it hit me: I gave the answers I thought were correct, not the answers they wanted. When I changed my tact, I began scoring in the 90 percentile!

State boards were two days when I tested for my RN. I went to the test sight the day before and just looked around. I got to know the place and felt comfortable there. I did deep breathing exercises regularly throughout the testing process. I meditated. I did relaxation exercises.

As EG spirit said, do not study before the test. I was advised not to study at least 24 hours before the tests.

Good luck to you, Esmith! Oh- and welcome to AN.com!

I just took my nclex about an hour ago. I got 205 questions. I really was struggling with my SATA questions. I hope I passed but I'm not sure.

I did the PVT three times. I got the "good pop-up". But I still need more proof because I don't know how accurate the trick is. I have to wait til Tuesday to get my quick results. In the meantime, how accurate is the PVT?
