I studied for 1 month, I think it also depends on how confident you are at the time of graduation.

Specializes in Med-Surg/urology.

My semester ended Feb. 20th. I took a week's break, thank God that I passed everything lol, and then got down to studying. I studied every day up until my test date (April 13th).

The Kaplan Q-Bank questions are similar to the NCLEX questions (in my opinion), so make sure you do those questions everyday if you can. I also did the questions from the Saunders CD for content. Also know your lab values so study those too. All the best to you!

TEE1978 I'm taking the test August 2. I'm in bit of a panic because if I do 10 questions I get 2 wrong. I'm going back over my med surg book from school and skimmed 1/2 of it last night. I also have Saunders and exam cram, note card with all the lab values. I'm so nervous. Just graduated June 21. Just want to take and PASS the test so I can enjoy the rest of the summer. If you want a study buddy let me know :)
