I wanted to post my experience because this website helped me tremendously. Before I scheduled my testing date, I came here and read all the different stories and tips that helped me to get ready. It's only right that I return the favor. :-}. Well, here we go. I received my ATT on 11/20/12, on that same day I scheduled for 12/19/12. From that date I started studying everyday for 2 hours...at least. Some days I just did questions from nclex cd. It was very difficult for me because I work full time and am also a mommy. (yayy for all the moms going to school) Hard stuff!!! Anyways, I don't think there's any need to stressed over buying a bunch of books. Go to your public library and you'll get all the books you need. The nclex book (saunders) is freaking awesome...with the cd questions. The night before my test I didn't study, instead I ordered my favorite take out( chinese) and watch Christmas stories all night. I got up on test day and watch more movies, to keep myself calm. I get really bad test anxiety. I fixed myself up as if I was going on a hott date. See, if you look good, feel good, then you'll do great! Lol!
Here's all the materials that I used to study. Hope this help someone. Good luck to all future nurses.
1. Saunders nclex with cd
2. Exam cram-pn
3. Kaplan-pn strategies, practice, and review
Oh, I forgot to mention. LOTS AND LOTS OF PRAYERS.
