Good morning everyone,
I'm a new grad. and will be taking the state board soon. I saw a lot of success stories for first time passes. That's great. Any advice, suggestions on preparing for this big test?
Much to success to all.

My advice is to do practice NCLEX questions on the computer. This was very helpful to myself and friends...helps you to get into the "mode" of doing computerized testing.
Good luck!

I used the Kaplan NCLEX review book. It was about $35 at Barnes and Noble. It had a lot of practice questions, practice tests on CD, rationales, and test-taking tips.
Good Luck!!

check out the NCLEX forum, plenty of good info there for you
Hey, I have the Kaplan, Saunders Q&A and Saunders Comprehension. I've been looking at at all of them. Were you speaking of one these books?
Thanks again
Thanks for your help, but silly me....I didn't see the Nclex forum. Can you help?'
if you click on the student tab near the top of the page and scroll down you will find the NCLEX forum. Suzanne has formalized a plan that you can follow but need to complete the first part as instructed and then send her a PM. Saunders is a good book to use and I also found Kaplan helped

I really liked Saunders, great help on how to pick the correct answer and rationals why answers are right/wrong. Brush up on your test taking skill would be number one priority for me. Learn how to take a test and how to spot wrong answers ect and remember READ CAREFULLY. Good Luck!

Another good book for prioritization and delegation questions is Prioritization. Delegation, & Assignment put out by Mosby. I did some questions out of the Kaplan book, but I thought using the study mode on the CD in the back of Saunder's Q&A book was most helpful. I passed with 75 questions. Good luck!
SILVERDRAGON102,
