I finally scheduled my exam again to retake. I just hope that i will be truly ready when the time comes next month as i can't wait to start using all that i have learned in school( until i loose it) :)

Best of luck to everyone that will be taking and retaking, my prayers go out to all of you.

Well, I finally got my application for retest in the mail today so now the wait is on for the other info to be transmitted to Pearson to schedule. Studying every chance that I get between chasing around a 20 month old and house work. I am praying for those who will be sitting exam for this month. Good Luck to all of you.

God bless you all. March 2nd!! Just deep breaths! We can do it.

Yeah i took it before and got 75 questions and thought i had passed as my last question was a priority question, but that didn't turn out to be the case. My friends had told me that was how they knew that they had passed but what can i say, u can't believe everything that u hear.

**Just wanted to let you all know that I PASSED:w00t:I got about 100 questions, not really concentrating on one subject, 5 select all that apply, NO math questions.. but alot of priority!

**And just to let the people who are picking their date for taking the test... PLEASE make sure you press the last submit button and print the email confirmation!!! I goofed and didn't press the submit button and just got my confirmation that I paid the money for the test but never got the date confirmation and when I got to take the test they didn't have me on their list!!!! After waiting then 3 hrs... I finally got to re-schedule and take my exam that day but I want to warn people and make sure it doesn't happen to anybody! I guess I was just so out of the loop the day I scheduled:sstrs: BUT I still did it and if I can do it anybody else can!!!! THANKS FOR EVERYBODY"S SUPPORT!!!!

hopefulrn2408... what testing strategies did you use? congrats by the way!!!!! I am scheduling to take mine at the beginning of april. this is not my first time and I am nervous.

Jewelsgirl24.. well i took excell nursing review course a couple wks before i took the test and i think that helped me with concentrating on test material. I can't even imagine going over my notes from school.. its just too damn much! went through material section by section then did questions to review after.. I bought kaplan bk.. honestly i did like half of the questions in there.. i had no energy to do it.. i had friends who did the whole bk plus the cd questions and they said it was good. I also did questions from NCLEX RN 3500 cd- i think its by lippincott which i liked. I also did questions from Saunders cd. I tried to do at least 75 q a day. I started studyin as soon as my review class was over about every day...took my test 2 wks later. ooo i also looked at bk i heard of on the website, Prioritization,Delegation,& Assignment by Linda LaCharity. I liked that because it helped with priority q's. I really don't know what i did right.. im just glad its over.. GOOD LUCK! Try and think positively and pray lots:)
