Test is tomorrow afternoon !!!!!!!! .... pretty sure i know all my stuff... took kaplan... my Q trainers were in the high 50's low 60's my last few bank scores were 60, 66, 64 ... i think thats right around where i need to be... but i feel like i am in brain overload ... im getting all the safety precautions mixed up in my head it seems... got the labs covered, procedures, etc.... any last words of advice from recent test takers ? I found the kaplan was tricky as far as knowing dilantin toxic levels... and needing to know alot of peds and OB .. was the NCLEX similar ? I know everyones questions are different but any words of advice or anything that worked to remember something would help :) also .... my state is a quick results state... but im not sure i understand where to go to find out i passed/or didnt ? .. can anyone help w/that ? state is MI ... thank you

You did all you can, so just relax, if you keep puting more pressure on your brain & think negative you will be having more stress on the exam so say your prayers & be calm that's all you can do at the last day& don't worry, do your best.
Good luck.:)
thank you tryin !!!

JUST WANTED TO WISH YOU GOOD LUCK!! TRY TO STAY AS RELAXED AS POSSIBLE....EASY FOR ME TO SAY...SORRY BUT ALSO TRY TO UNTENSE YOUR MUSCLES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE DURING THE EXAM. TAKE SOME DEEP BREATHS AND SAY A LITTLE PRAYER BEFORE YOU START....THATS WHAT IM GOING TO DO.
GOOD LUCK AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Reread the question (you'll be surprised how much you might've missed the first time!)
2. When answering questions always ask yourself, "what are they asking me to do?".
So far, these tiny tips have worked with the many that I help prep for NCLEX. :)
Good luck!

You can do the quick results by logging into Pearsonvue, but I would save your money. I did the pearsonvue trick about half an hour after completing my exam and it worked, getting the quick results 48 hrs later was anticlimactic (I'm in MI too). It's a waste of money if you do the PVT first! Unless doing the quick results means you will get your license number faster, which I am not sure about? I expect to get it (license number on MI's licensing website) within a week, which is what has been happening for my classmates that took the boards before me.
