nclex monday! 7/8

Published

i had my nclex scheduled for june 25th until i had a meltdown and rescheduled for july 8. i am glad i rescheduled because i didn't feel ready yet, and i was absolutely PETRIFIED to take it. two weeks later, i don't think i know any more than i did but have been working with kaplan's decision tree/answering strategies. i'm still petrified for monday but i am ready to get it over with. i can't wait anymore, i wish it was monday so i could just do it and stop thinking about it. i know a few people who i graduated with who have passed, but unfortunately found out one of my peers failed her nclex.

so i have the rest of today and tomorrow to study and i just don't know what to do with myself... i keep doing questions but i'm frustrated with ATI (waste of money).. their rationales are useless! if i pick a wrong answer, it simply says something like, "that choice is the incorrect answer." GEE thanks, i'm so glad you clarified that for me, ATI. kaplan and saunders have much better rationale in their books and cds however.

anyone else taking it this week?? if i fail, i'm going to take a review class with kaplan.. a friend of mine took it and passed last week, she said it was worth the money.

Congrats!!! Was it extremely difficult? Was ATi all you used?

i also used kaplan and saunders review books. i did kaplan from cover to cover and the tests at the back of the saunders book.

i got alot of SATA and the 'put the steps in order' questions. surprisingly no math, hot spots or audio.

i hope the pvt is right, it worked 4 years ago when i took my lpn boards and for anyone i know who tried it.. the only people ive heard it not working for the few people on this board.

well i sucked it up and did the pvt trick...got the good pop up! hope its accurate.

Mine was the same. Tons of SATA and putting things in order. I didn't get math, hot spots, or audio either. I ended in 75 and just checked PVT and got the "good" pop up. I really hope I passed. I seriously cannot sit for that exam again.

Same boat here...lots of SATA, priority, no hot spots or audio/video. 75 questions with a "good pop up". We will see how the official results turn out.

congrats!!! i just got my quick results and i passed too! i am SOOOO happy. new york BON usually takes 2 business days to post the license number on the website but they are so backed up because so many people are taking the boards, i may not get a number until next week which is annoying. i know someone who took it friday and still hasnt gotten his. but i'm just thankful i passed! :)
