First I just want to say that for some reason I can't send private messages on this site yet, so for those who sent me one, I am just gonna answer your questions in this post.
MY STUDYING: I studied every day starting one week after I graduated (May 15). I took the Kaplan class over three weeks and did all of their Q trainers. I also did all of the questions in the Q bank. I did about 100 Qs a day and took time to read through every rationale for every question, I read every single answer even the really stupid ones and figured out why they were wrong. This took hours a day. I did two classes of drugs per day on drug cards. Only the important ones like dig & lasix etc.. I also used Sauders on days that I didn't use the Q bank. I did the 100 question content exam on every area to see where I was weak. I did cardio, resp, drugs, even eyes 100 questions at a time.
THE DAY BEFORE THE NCLEX: I just went over meds and nothing else, no questions, just meds. I went out for an early dinner last night with my boyfriend. Tried to relax and take it easy. At the end of the night after dinner, I did a quick review some more meds.
TEST DAY: I arrived way early and sat in my car looking over meds. Then I went to the testing center early and they said it was ok to go inside and test. I went through security and sat at my computer. Before I touched the mouse I asked God to grant me clarity and understanding and then I had faith. I started the question, no math (which I was afraid of), like a million select all that apply, and by golly the same meds that I studied in my car were on there (That's the work of God), some priority and as I clicked my mouse after 75 questions it shut off. I was there for an hour and a half. I thought that the questions were VERY similar to Kaplans format. I REALL Y THINK IT'S WORTH THE MONEY!!!!!!!!! HINT HINT!!!! The questions aren't the same, dont get me wrong but they are written similarly. I will update you guys when I know if I passed! Not doing PVT!!!! Have faith! Pray and take it!
