I took my NCLEX at 800 this morning and was very nervous. I had about 8-10 SATA, lots of meds that i was lucky to get because i did know them, quite a few priority and infection control questions and peds, i had one med question which was easy. I was nervous because the first 30 i had like one SATA, but started getting more comfortable and was getting more relaxed once i got a lot more SATA. My computer shut off at 75 questions and it took me about an hour to finish. I really didn't know, i thought 50/50 pass or fail. I went to the internet immediately and did the PVT and got the good pop up. I didn't think it was that bad because you can cut down the questions to two answers, its just a matter of figuring out how to select which one. My suggestion is follow your instinct on questions you don't know, go with your gut. If i do end up passing my one savior in this was the LaCharity Book. I felt like a lot of the questions seemed like LaCharity. I studied without KAPLAN or ATI. I just took a risk with SAUNDERS and LaCharity. The questions are so random that what i studied wasn't really there only like 20% a lot of it is just situational questions. So for those who can't afford KAPLAN, use Saunders and LaCharity because it gives you rationale with strategies. I studied for like 3 weeks, so hoping the risk pays off. Hoping the good pop us is legit.

SOOOOOO with you~ that was so random, wasn't it? I tested at the same time you did, and I felt like I didn't prove anything to anyone. Seriously, these test makers must have some other tricks up their sleeves to figure out what we know, because that seemed like a crap shoot. Got the good pop up, too, still don't want to believe it, lest I be disappointed later...
Good job, and congrats!

You passed! I did the exam 2 weeks ago and I did the PV trick and got the good pop up. Finished the exam in an hour with 75 questions. I thought the exam was not bad also as most questions can be eliminated down to 2 questions.
thanks for the feedback, hoping tomorrow will be the best day of my life.

Hey Guys Just Found out i PASSED. Thanks everyone, and now will take some time off. I am putting all my nursing things in a box and putting it away in the garage. LaCharity is the book to get everyone. And the Pearson View Trick DOES DOES DOES work. So definitely try it. And there is hope for people who don't take KAPLAN.
