I know how you feel...I took my NCLEX last friday and unfortunately I failed because I rushed myself and I was out in 1 hour and completed 75 questions and failed. My best advice is to stay calm and take your time...DO NOT rush...do well on your first 75 questions. I have been told by people that you should take about 2 hours for the 75 questions. Read the questions and answers carefully. What materials have you used to study for the NCLEX? I found the NCLEX to be much harder than Kaplan...i took the Kaplan course did well on all the questions and even then I did not pass. But my issue was the timing but I still did not think Kaplan questions are any relation to the style of the questions. However, their goal is to make sure their strategies are used which I never learned...so it depends on the person. For content I recommend Saunders Review book and Feur which helped me a lot because now my content is strong. I think if you have time, definitely do questions from the book Prioritization, Delegation and Assignment by LaCharity. Remember to understand the lab values cause there are a lot of questions on lab values like, if you are doing to be dehydrated which values would be out of normal? So definitely know what the values mean...do not study the day off or the before cause I made that mistake and got all anxious...but do review your values. Best of luck and you will do fine!! and do not forget to pray to God!!
