Hi everyone. I am testing in mid-March and wish I was done already! All of my classmates are passing, mostare rocking 75 questions. That both relieves me (if they can do it, so can I) and terrifies me (what if I am the one that fails?!)

I am not doing any paid review program, just the books everyone has already mentioned - Saunders, Cram, LaCharity and Davis. I bounce around and should probably be more systematic.

Good luck to everyone!

They are the same and I use the test trainer 6 & 7 alot because it has more questions and it helps to me practice to sit for that many questions which I hope I stop at 75 but anywho just be positive and you can do it. I was the first to fail in my class, but don't be embarrassed about it, actually it worked out for me that since I failed I was able to get the resources I needed from my professors to borrow without having to pay for anything.

I take it again on March 30th. DON"T give up and ALWAYS stay POSITIVE!!

Best of luck to you!

reading my notes from my review course I just completed (not Kaplan...I did one that is specific to my area, I'm from Ohio btw) and doing practice questions! During the course, I had "homework" to complete...we basically did 2,190 homework questions by the end and also did a bunch of questions during class...so wellllll over 3,000 questions. the instructors suggested that besides reviewing notes, to do at least 25 questions/day up until you take the exam.

another tip: getting the first 15 questions correct is important! they said if you find yourself doing questions and you get some of the first 15 wrong, then you're a "slow starter." do some questions in the morning, and then "when your a** is hot, go in and take your NCLEX!" - word-for-word from my instructor :lol2:

also remember that you'll have 15 pilot questions, too! (meaning they won't count)

What review course did you take in Ohio? I live in Cincinnati, currently doing Kaplan online, but wish I'd known about yours.

Buszta! http://www.busztanclex.com. They also have a Facebook page.

I HIGHLY recommend. They tutor students from all over Ohio, even some students from Erie, PA.
