I have 3 weeks before I take my NCLEX - I'm using KAPLAN - How to maximize my studies

Published

I have 3 weeks before I take my NCLEX. I'm using Kaplan and I would like to know what will is the best plan to do. I have the course book but its so long and not very detailed so it's hard to read. I have access to go to the live course. Of course the qbanks, question trainers, and sample tests. Should I write the information down that I got wrong and study the notes, just answer questions, read the book, HELP!!!!

I didn't even read the book because it is soooo long. I found it more helpful to take the Kaplan questions and make notes of stuff that I didn't know and look over those later!! It helped me to do it that way! I shut off at 75 and passed!! Kaplan is awesome, I felt that the questions were extremely similar to those on NCLEX. I got a lot of delegation, prioritization and a lot of those isolation questions (you know the ones where they ask which patient should be placed in a private room). Keep up the good work!! Good Luck!! You can do it!!!:yeah:

What medications, disease and topics did you remember from the test?

Hi Lil_Mama4sho1, I can't reply to PMs so hopefully you'll see this message. I don't recall what meds were on there since they were ones that I had never seen before and my mind was in a fog after I left. If I remember anything else, I'll post. Sorry I wasn't too helpful. Good luck on your test :)

I am going online (kaplan) and review the contents while I have my course book open. After that, I go to the Qbanks and do questions. I then, review the rationales and take my own notes. Hope it will help me.
