I would focus on the following.. I finish my program in june so my Nclex is coming up soon :)
1) Focus on multiple response questions.
2) Medication indication, dosages, evaluations
3) Lab values, Fluid & Electrolytes / PH balance.
4) Misc assessment skills. IE: Homan's Sign
Hope this helps!
yes it definitely does , i heard 100 questions a day is the minimum your supposed to do, i do as much as i can, i have more trouble with content so i focus a lil more on that. thanks again. :hugs:

Know isolation precautions and indications and practice lots of prioritization and delegation questions. My classmates and I had LOTS of those. It pretty much characterized my whole test actually. Some had only a couple SATA (select all that apply), but I had 26... out of 85 questions! I only had 3 med questions. 2 were on totally random drugs that gave no clue as to what category they fell under, so there's no way I could've studied for it, and 1 drug was a statin but was a SATA.
Also, exam cram questions are pretty similar on wording and difficulty to the questions IMO. Saunders qs are easier and Kaplan qs are harder.
