My road map to success. I took my exam last march 13, 2013 and got the letter today that I passed. I'm a mother of 3 yrs old and 3 months old. It's hard for me to study but I challenged my self to wake up every morning for 5 weeks and do q and a from ncsbn online review for 2 hours only.
1. I do exercise for 15-30 minutes before i will study. @ I read a study that if u exercise before u study your brain will increase 30% brain retention
2. I studied Q and A from ncsbn online review for Two hours each day for 5 weeks.
3. I will do 100-150 questions a day and i am consistent about it. I made a calendar for my progress tracking of my percentages.
4. I will spend time to read and rationalize the wrong and right answers.
5.I pray before and after studying
6. I Eat healthy foods.
A week before my exam:
1. I got 80-90% of all my exams.
2. I studied normal values, calculations, drugs and etc.
3. Listen to my recordings with endo and neuro.
3 days of my exam:
1. I went to church and prayed.
2. No more studying and I do relax and read inspiring quotes and bible verses.
On the day of my exam:
1. I got 18 select all that applies
2. 2 drugs only
3. One procedure
4. 2 positioning s
5. 3 exhibits
6. Prioritization's, delegations and assignments.
7. I shut off at 85 and I knew I passed because I got select all that applies and got endo and neuro questions.
Messages: With my situations that I have 2 kids with infant and it's tough but I made it. You can make it too and their is no reason to think its hard but with god's grace I passed it.
Be positive, read inspiring messages, trust your self for you are the one who can make your dreams come true and no one will fulfill it for u.

Congrats on passing! Did you do any NCLEX study prep while you were in nursing school?

Way to go! Thanks for the info on the types of questions you had, too.
I graduated BSN 2009 from Philippines and got denied with my RN application so I applied PN. I don't have any study prep just the ncsbn online review.

Congratulations, Kabayan! I can totally relate to your post especially how difficult it is to find time to review when you have kids. I am also a mother of two, a two-year old and a two-month old baby but I kept the faith and passed my NCLEX-RN two weeks ago. :)
