NCLEX Time Frame?

I just graduated nursing school — hallelujah! I am taking a Hurst Live Review this week and registering for NCLEX at some point this week. How long would you advise would be a good time frame to study? I have passed all the HESI exams throughout school, do reasonably well on questions (Saunders and Hurst), and I am typically a good test-taker. I don’t feel like I will ever truly feel confident in taking the NCLEX but would like to give myself enough time to feel prepared and I work FT at one job and PRN at another.

    As soon as possible after getting your ATT. It took 5 weeks to get my ATT. I started to get burned out of 50-100 questions/day for 5 weeks. You have all the knowledge to pass NCLEX when you graduate. You should be just keeping the information fresh in your brain until test day.

    Although it has been some years since I took it, I gave myself about 3 months of studying and review from graduation to test date. I took a week long review class. I also had two vacations that I had prescheduled so I wanted to give myself sufficient time and space to review. I also worked full-time as well.

    You are right, most people never feel fully ready as it is such an important exam, however, you will reach a point when no further amount of studying, practice exams, and review will make a difference.

    Good Luck!!

    Its depends on the type of student you are. I graduated in December 2018, but due to BS my school put me (my whole class actually) through, I did not take my NCLEX until May 6,2019. I studied for a good 3 weeks because I know if I studied too much I get distracted. I studied for 3 weeks about 100 to 150 questions a day and I passed my NCLEX in 75 questions.
