Hello everyone I thought I should start a post for all of us taking the NCLEX in June. Let's discuss what we are studying and what day are you testing? I take mine June 13th. My school was big on ATI so I did the VATI and doing a lot of codes for ATI. I'm reading the NCLEX book they gave us for the 3 day review. I'm also doing the NCLEX mastery app and going to purchase UWORLD tomorrow and do that for the remainder until the exam. I'm also in Illinois btw taking the PN.
I took my exam on the 31st of May, but it's close enough to June. I sat for NCLEX three time and I just found out this morning that I passed the 3rd time! I used NCSBN, Kaplan, and lacharity for this last attempt. NCSBN was my favorite recourse for practicing questions, they were almost identical to actual nclex. Kaplan was helpful for learning strategies and how to look at the questions, their questions are good quality too. I didn't rely too much on their decision tree though because I found it distracted me from the actual question sometimes (leading me to the wrong answer). Lacharity helped me master priority and delegation questions, which was most of my exam. My strategy for practice was practicing one question at a time in practice mode the first couple of weeks. This helped me slow down, really understand the question, and it helped me think through all the answer choices. Practice mode is also great because you learn the information right after answering it rather than waiting for the remaining 75 questions and forgetting the question all together. As the test got closer I did 3 - 4 longer exams (75 - 150 questions) a week. I only looked up content that I didn't know, I didn't want to waist time on information that I already knew. What helped me most is using good quality NCLEX questions and focusing on quality NOT quantity. How you think about and answer a question is more important than how fast you answer it. If you are going fast and getting all questions wrong then you won't pass. Even in you run out of time while being slow and consistent you have a good chance of still passing. Hope this helps someone.
June 28th taking the NCLEX RN in Maryland. Graduated May 18, but I have been studying for NCLEX since December. I attended Kaplan review the last week of school and working on their Qbank now. Also, usind the NCLEX RN mastery App on the go and after so many positive reviews in allnurses about UWORLD I might give it a try. Good luck to everyone testing in June and in other months. We can DO this! [emoji123]ðŸ¼
