NCLEX Today...75 Questions...

[tinybabynurse]

Well, just got back from taking NCLEX and if the PVT really works, then I passed!!!! I got 75 questions

What did I do to study? Well, I graduated a month ago and did not take Kaplan. I used NCLEX 3500 and Saunders. I did 1500 questions on NCLEX 3500, mainly over each of the med-surg areas. Next I used the Saunders CD and systematically went through each content area and did 100 question exams. After I took each exam I reviewed the questions and made little study guides for each content area, focusing on things I didn't know or thought were important to know. I scored in the 70's and 80's. Then I used my study guides and the Saunders book to clarify portions I felt weak in. I also did all the SATA questions on the Saunders CD...I wanted to feel a little more at ease with those before taking the test.

During the test, there were questions where I felt the answer was obvious, questions I had to think a little on, questions I could sort of reason through even though I really didn't know for sure (could usually get it down to 2 possibilities), and probably 5-7 questions that I honestly had NO IDEA how to answer.

I didn't study a ton of Pharm, and the Pharm I did study only helped me on a few questions. So although there was a lot of Pharm, I don't think I would study any differently.

Good luck to everyone studying out there!! It really isn't as bad as I thought!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I'm taking it tomorrow at 2pm. I'm so tempted to reschedule, but my husband won't let me! I took Hurst twice and am using NCLEX 3500 and Saunders for questions. SATA are my nemesis. Thank you for all the awesome info!

People seem very confident with this "trick" thing and I hope for good reason.....I took NCLEX today, too. I also had tons of meds and infection control questions......very little of anything else! I was hoping for drug calculations. I see those as freebies :)
