Hello all, I graduated last month with my ADN, and I'm scheduled to take my NCLEX-RN in two days! I am so very nervous, and I am not usually one to have test anxiety. However, given the magnitude of this exam, it is understandable that I am nervous! I currently work in LTC/SNF as an LPN part-time, so I haven't been totally "hands-off" or removed from the nursing world since graduation. In my last semester in nursing school I took an ATI NCLEX Predictor, and my result was that I have a 99% chance of passing NCLEX. I have heard horror stories though, of people scoring high on that and still failing. I have done a focused review based off of that ATI exam, I have been doing Kaplan qbank questions, with my cumulative 64% correct right now. I did give up on the question trainers around the 4th one, because I was told that those aren't NCLEX-style questions, they are more content based, an area which I do feel semi-confident. I have been reading up on procedures, disease processes, medications, etc. Sorry for the long post, just anxious. I plan on spending a large portion of the day today and tomorrow doing qbank and looking up anything I come across that I'm unfamiliar with.

Good luck on your test!! Question trainers 1-4 are more content based! Question trainers 5-7 prepare you more for the actual Nclex exam. Question trainer 6 and 7 especially 7 are the test that are the most like Nclex being that every question is above the passing line and application/analysis based questions. Kaplan style looks very very similar to nclex! Again, best of luck!! :)
Thank you for the input! I wasn't aware, I think in that case I'll give the last 3 question trainers a try!
You're very welcome! If you have the time just focus on qt 7. Its 265 questions! I believe qt 6 was 200. And rest your brain the day before and do something fun!!
I passed my NCLEX-RN with 75 questions! License number was posted today!!
