I took my boards on august 5th, and had 75 questions. I did take the Hurst review, found it useful but would advise to use saunders review. Also used the NCLEX 4000, felt some questions were very similar.

Hey "shehnaz111", I have also been using NCLEX 4000. So you think that the NCLEX questions were similar to the NCLEX 4000? I hope so because I do really good on those questions. I graduated in May and I haven't taken my NCLEX yet but hope to do so soon. I wish I hadn't waited this long. Let me know and thanks.

Yes NCLEX 4000 is a very good source as it covers each topic/systems. But in the exam, the questions are never direct. They will ask on a surgical patient, the problems to look for: like electrolyte imbalances, the diet, the medications, position, etc. But they definetely combine a bunch of things. There are a lot of SATA questions and prioritizing.( which patient you will see first). Wish you luck

Thank you so much. I was worried about using NCLEX 4000 because some people said that they thought the questions were not no where similar to the NCLEX style questions. I think that I am ready to test but I am SO nervous.

Yes I was so nervous and kept checking the website to see if I could postpone it by a week. But had no luck. The questions were more critical thinking, which signs and symptoms would you be alert on the situation. Like say a person who had craniotomy post op and having huge urine output, then something so minor bleeding which is normal. Just try to remember what to watch out for each post op surgerical patient. SATA is more on incident reports, anorexia nervosa, clept palate, etc. They have the 5/6 choices and mostly easy to pick them up.

On Hurst I never scored more than 65%, but did not have any problems with NCLEX. I guess after all the test, our grey cells does starts functioning better. Wish you luck!!!
