So, I graduated May 15th 2016. I had three days of ATI Live review after that (which I didn't find that beneficial). But I didn't start actually studying until May 20th. Since then I have done 7,675 practice questions. Sources that I've used include: Virtual ATI Tutor. The predictor exam I took said I have a 99% chance of passing the nclex on my first attempt. I also used the Lipincott Q&A book (I didn't get through all of it, just parts that I felt I needed to review the most). In addition to the lipincott book, I also did a couple of practice exams on Lipincotts NCLEX RN PassPoint. The practice nclex exams (I took four) were as follows: On the first one I got a mastery level 7 out of 8. On the next 3 I got a mastery level 8 out of 8. So my overall mastery level is 7.75/8. I also did the Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment book. My exam is on June 13th (this coming Monday! As in TWO DAYS AWAY)! I'm nervous that I didn't give myself enough time to prepare. What do you guys think? Has anyone used these sources and passed? Did you use these sources and fail? How about the number of questions I've done to prepare? How similar is NCLEX to any of these sources that I've used? And how accurate are they in predicting my true ability to pass the boards? I need help! I keep doubting myself and I need to go in feeling confident! Thanks!

It seems as though you are very prepared. You have definitely put in the time and the effort. I would definitely give your mind a rest today and the day of your test. Rest as much as possible and relax. Maybe get a massage and do some self care. Studying up to the last minute really does nothing for you. Trust what you know because if you don't know it by now, cramming won't help. After the test is over, breathe and relax. Stressing over when your results will post and trying to deduce whether you passed based on what kinds of questions you got on your test will do nothing but stress you out. All of this is easier said than done of course! Good luck and do keep us updated!

Hello I also take mine tomorrow on the 13th and also did Vati and ATI through the course of school. I got a 98% chance of passing on the vati predictor and I hope it's accurate as well. I'm so nervous and trying to keep myself busy today. I studied for exactly 4 weeks and 5 to 6 hours per day. I used kaplan , vati, nclex mastery app. I'm taking Nclex PN btw. Good luck to the both of us
