Just got home from sitting for my RN-NCLEX! My test shut off at 75 questions and I got the good pop-up! Feeling very relieved. I've been lurking here every hour, seems like, for the past 2 weeks since I scheduled the exam. Just want to say thanks and good luck to you all!

summerbp 16 Posts Has 4 years experience. May 29, 2013 Thanks! I studied for two weeks, using Saunders Q&A, the 2012-2013 Kaplan Strategies, Practice, and Review, LaCharity's Priority, Delegation, and Assessment, and I also bought the 3-week access to the NCSBN. I wouldn't recommend the NCSBN. Of all, I think Kaplan was probably the best as far as similarity to the actual exam, but nothing was really similar. One thing that surprised me was that I found some of the NCLEX wording to be strange. Like, I had to really think about the question to get what they were asking--and I have a previous degree in English! I studied between 1-6 hours per day, depending. I started orienting for my new job last week, so those days were just waking up early and doing a 25 question practice test. My best advice is to brush up on a generalized overview of med-surg content, then do practice questions!
