Goodluck on your upcomig exam.. Kaplan was very helpful in helping me to prepare for the exam and once I began my exam I made sure to use the decision tree.. :nurse:

I'm also going to take the NCLEX July 11. I'm super nervous and I hope all the studying I've done these past three weeks have helped.

Hi Everyone,

I just have a question...I took the NCLEX Saturday and I got the "goog pop up". I was wondering if anyone else took their test on Saturday and when they were able to access their unofficial results? Im from Colorado which does participate in the early results. Please help!

How accurate is the Pearson Vue Trick? I tried it 3 times and its giving me a good pop-up! I hope its very accurate. So far for all my classmates had done it passed the test.

About the test, it was mind blowing. It was harder than Kaplan. I just dont know what I was doing on the time of the test. Just took my time and select the best answer pretty much. After 2.5 hrs and 75 questions, blue screen. It was very hard to concentrate during the test because of anxiety, emotions, and your mind thinking you going to pass or fail. The Kaplan tree was somewhat helpful, but it was hard to distinguish the right answer because of the hard selections. I had maybe 10-15 SATA, few pharm, couple of pics and put in order questions, lots of prioritization and delegation.

The experience was crazy overall. But I am glad its over. Just have to wait for the official result on Friday.

Congrats, dear!!! you PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PVT is correct!

I PRAY that I will be successful like you too!!!!!

What did you during last few days before you tested? I have 4 days to go..and I'm just tired..and anxious! Any advice? I'm still practicing questions, and I'm scoring 60%

Thanks! I really hope its accurate! lol.

What I did was, 2 day before the exam I just relax. I almost had an anxiety attack because I tried doing questions and I couldn't do it any more. So I dropped everything, instead I drove to the testing site and see where it was. Then I went home and got to my running attire and ran to the park (by the water) and sat there for about 20 mins and relax my mind. I ran back at home and just relaxed the how day. The following day, I just relaxed as well. Played video games, etc. Anything that will take my mind off the test. It was very weird that I was so relax until I went to sleep. Then, when I woke up, thats when it hits me and anxiety started back again. I just tried to keep my composure and told myself I got this and I am an RN by this week.

You got 4 days left, I suggest keep on doing what you doing but have some rest as well. Balance it. When it come closer (1-2 days before the test), try to relax because you can't take that exam without a fresh mind. Thats my advice. I know you will do good. Trust yourself and be confident.
