Hey everyone I need some help. I take my NCLEX in about 50 days and I am currently using UWorld to study. I usually generate a couple 20 question tests at a time, sometimes 75 questions a test and I randomize everything (since that’s how the NCLEX will be). The issue is nearly every exam I take, I average around in the 50% area and am worried if that’s good or not? Also, what’s the best way to utilize UWorld? I don’t take notes or make flash cards because that’s not really my style but I study the rationale of each question before I move on. Also, is randomizing everything good or is it more efficient to study by systems separately? I feel like random is better since it better reflects the NCLEX and if I did systems I would forget the information that I did early on? Please help me thank you

Do not do random unless you have done a comprehensive review IMO. If you're scoring well on UWorld no biggie but if no, most definitely do it by topic, I feel as though you'll retain concepts better.

I found the rationales on UWorld to be extremely helpful

Hello I am a new grad about a week now and I was giving myself some time to relax before studying for my NCLEX RN. What should I use to study for my NCLEX UWorld or Archer review ??? I want to pass on the first try!!

I used UWorld and passed first try in 75 questions. It's been a couple years so it's hard to remember but I think I was getting average scores on the UWorld questions. Average enough to be very nervous that I should have been doing better on the questions to feel safe about the NCLEX. I think it was putting me in the 50-60th percentile of test takers. I wouldn't suggest doing random until closer to your exam. I did different categories every day and didn't randomize them until a week or so before the NCLEX. I found the rationales to be super helpful. I took notes on questions and rationales that I consistently missed- not every missed question, but questions covering topics that I seemed to be having a hard time with.

I have no idea what Archer is but I used UWorld for a couple weeks and passed my RN during COVID in 60 questions. Don't just do the questions, read the rationales.
