Good Evening guys,
I just want to ask some advice regarding studying for the NCLEX. I have done every single question from the Kaplan qbank (First scores: 50's-60's Retakes: 80's-90's), NCLEX Mastery (First overall scores: 60's-90's), Almost finished the whole Saunder's 5th Edition (3 Chapters left), and now doing the NCSBN online review (First few scores 50's-70's, more of the 60's average).
I used the strategy answering 100 questions per day, whether right or wrong, then reading rationales why they were wrong or right. I have already answered at least about 5000 questions and aiming for at least 9000 or 10,000 if possible. I also started like reading then taking notes for questions I get wrong or things I don't understand.
I just feel though that my confidence was shot down after like answering the questions in NCSBN plus the whole reading content thing again. I still don't feel like I am performing well after almost 2 months of studying and I am confused if I should start reading the whole NCSBN content again or should I stick to my strategy of 100 questions per day then reading the rationales.
I need your help and advice especially those who passed the NCLEX and I want to pass this with 1 take in 75 questions.
Thank you in advance for those who will take the time to answer! :) Really nervous and feel that the pressurre is building up :/

Hello GabrielPatiriktirik!
I am in the same boat .Dont get nervous i dont know how time u have left to take your exam .
what you can do is there is 35 pages study guide memorize them i dont no how much time is left in your exam
also revise safety and precaution and pharm if you have time but make sure to read 35 pages guide and memorize your lab values.
I am pretty good with my lab values although I still need to review and memorize a tiny bit of it, but overall it is good and for my pharm well doing ok so far :/ and what is the 35 study guide? is that like the whole plethora of notes about everything?
They are notes which some body made it you can find that on line .If you have more time you can try u world they have good questions with excellent rationales .
oh ok thank you for the advice on that! :) and I don't know if I might be able to afford uworld plus got a ton of nclex review material already :/ I am just praying that I will do good and pass with 1 take :/ Thank you again! :)
