Least amount of study time?

Published

Just out of curiosity what is the least amount of study time that any of you know of that a student put in and took the NCLEX-RN?? Did they pass?

Just Wondering..... I would never try to get away with the bare minimum, but I am soooo tired of studying!!

Some have not studied at all and have passed, but that is not the norm and I definitely do not recommend it.

Studied hard for two solid weeks and passed with 75 questions! Wouldn't recommend it though!

WOW! That's awesome...... I have been reviewing for 2 weeks now, and I am so burnt out.... but I start orientation on the 19th at the hospital... so I really want to get the NCLEX OVER before then .... like next week!

I just want to pass! As soon as I get my ATT and schedule the test I will be really motivated to review as much as possible. I just don't know if I can stick with for another WEEK or so.

Thanks!

Hey,

I studied from May 23-May 31. I used Saunders (book & disk), I read over Marlene Hurst but I didnt study it like she wanted. I am kind of glad that I didn't because I didn't see a lot of her stuff on there. It did help on the areas that was on there. Anyways I took the test on June 1 and today I passed. So GOOD LUCK and PRAY hard and long...

I took NCLEX 4 days after graduation, but had already studied for HESI earlier in the year and had reviewed for a few hours a week since.

I looked over the NCLEX kaplan book for maybe 2 days. Did not do much more than that. I was also very sick of studying. I do not recommend doing what I did either. Most of my friends studied for over a month.

And you passed??? Wow... and Congradulations!

I am almost to the point that I just want to take it and let the chips fall where they may! I am so sick of studying!
