Me again.....

Relax.

One, Kaplan and other preparation tests tend to be much more difficult than the NCLEX.

Two, DO plan breaks during the test. I had planned to take a short 5-minute break to go to the bathroom and just stretch every 75 questions.

Three, if you really are hung up on a question, don't agonize forever over it. It will do you no good and will get you behind. Don't spend more than one minute on any given question. If you can't figure out the answer, narrow it down as much as possible, then guess. You'd be surprised at what you know without knowing it.

NCLEX knows that not everyone is taught everything on its exams. Critical thinking counts as much if not more than knowing every little thing about diseases.
