People, thanks so much my NCLEX was easy and I passed. I had 75 questions and I thought I failed because it was so easy, I start to worry so much. Why is so easy, I'm doing something wrong?
I had priority only on the test, but they were easy also.
I think I guessed only on 3 questions and rest I was sure.
A lot of my questions I did on my practice and they were there, weird.
I got very good tips from here and it help my a lot.
the worsed part was waiting from all this thing.
I PASSED and no more books.
I studied 3 months and 1 month a lot, but I needed to after 8 years out of school in dif. country.
Guys you can make it it is not so difficult( I speak english for 4 yrs and never went to school for it) and I made on first time.
If you know your nursing content and you practice at least 3000 qs,there no way you will not pass. And the questions are common sense questions.
Because chin up and go for it.
To be thruth my driving test was more difficult and I needed to do it 3 times and NCLEX only ones!

Study the nursing content and material from US schools, find out as much as possible about the test. This web is great. People posting their content qs from NCLEX here study them more than 50% appeared on my exam.
Know your basic, this test is basic test.
I used FEUER NCLEX review and she is good- 35 hours on CD plus books you will be ready if you use it.
Do questions but not to much, this test is about knowledge, I know people say that is about strategies, but I used my knowledge and Abc, plus safety.
Thats all. Know your content well before doing the questions. Do like 3000 it is more than enough.
Good luck!
My lisence exam in my country was much more difficult, it was 3 days and written, oral and practical.

CongratulationS!!! I hope I will do like you! I am in the same boat!
Did you take the NCLEX for CA ?
If yes, can you please tell me: Did they request from you also " Curriculum" ?
My nursing school told me, this are 2 books (many pages). When i have to translate this, I have to pay more than for the NCLEX exam. If you can tell me something about this, I will appreciate!
Enjoy your succes!!! Where are you from..?
Good luck in your career! Your encouraging words make me feel well.

Yes they did and have to translate like 50 pages of my curriculum.
I got it for 100$ in my country.the professional translator did it everything, changed the mistakes and verified that the information are thruth, I paid for it 100$. Do the same and it will cost you only couple of bucks and it is worth it. I mean in my country it is cheap.
Today I got allready couple offers for job.
I'm so happy.

what is your native language? my husband /bf speaks fluent spanish ...it is kinda his first language and I am trying to learn .. I CAN NOT imagine taking the NCLEX (or anything like it as a matter of fact) if I was not a native speaker ....
I am SOOOOO happy for you! good luck !
My native language is Slovak which is completly diff. than english.
But I love to learn languages it is my hobby and now I can speak 6 languages without a problem, I learned them in 8 yrs.
Well, my husband says that I got excellent memory and everything what I read I remember for the first time.
Maybe because the NCLEX was so easy for me, I just was reading nursing books.I did like 5000 q's and I can remember almost all of them after encountering them for the first time.
This feeling I got NCLEX, I was sure I did this questions and I knew the answers.
Thanks for everything guys.
