Last day on NCLEX studying...

Published

So I know everyone freaks out before NCLEX and thinks they know nothing. I've seen so many posts on here comparing NCLEX-RN reviews and scores and how many questions people got. 2 days before the NCLEX I am starting to see why people post on this thread. I AM FREAKING OUT. I'm hoping that maybe posting on here will be somewhat cathartic for me and help relieve some tension. I pretty much finished studying today. My test is on Tuesday and everyone says that you're not really supposed to study-study the day before and today I've gone over a few things but am at a lost of even what to do with myself. It really is crazy because after weeks on end of preparation you never really feel 100 % ready. I think you can be 100 % prepared but still scared out of your mind to walk into that Pearson center. I've done the Kaplan review course/ program (our school required it). Within my nursing program we took Kaplan standradized tests each semester to evaluate our cummulative knowledge within the program. We also did the Kaplan review course (the in person one). I've done every possible question on the website (qbank, QT's, focused review tests, sample Q bank) and watched all the review videos, some twice and still I am absolutely terrified to take this test. My scores have been decent. This week I did QT 6 and 7 to sum up my preparedness and got a 74 and 71. I know they are pretty good scores as far as kaplan goes, but it is still SO HARD to grasp that those scores can equate to NCLEX preparedness. I'm not one to be happy with C's on tests. Other studying that I've done was reading the ExamCram review book (the shorter one with lots of questions in it), but that was while I was still in my last 6 weeks of school. I also used the Saunders book throughout Nursing school as somewhat of a bible. When I tried to use it after studying Kaplan it was kind of tough because the review was so much more wordy. The questions were also A LOT easier than Kaplan's so I felt it kind of gave me a false reassurance. Kaplan really breaks it down for you (RN course book, basics book, and video reviews). I guess we will see what happens on Tuesday. Is anyone else feeling this way for NCLEX-RN this week??? :uhoh3::eek::crying2:

Checked my exam results on the DOH website for FL. I passed! The PVT worked for me!
