NCLEX in 3 weeks

Hello. I am a graduate PN. I have scheduled ,my NCLEX for October 29th and I am a nervous wreck. I study religiously every night. I do 100-200 questions nightly through my Saunders CD-Roms. I am having problems with the medications and a few of the disorders. I was wondering has anyone taken their NCLEX recently and what was the content? Was there a lot of meds, SATA, etc? Also, give me some study tips for the meds if possible. Thanks:)

Hello,

Good luck to you then !

I recently passed the NCLEX-RN and used the Kaplan Q-bank and Q trainer which was indeed very helpful. I thought the Kaplan questions were similar with the NCLEX styles.

Thanks and Good luck to anyone else taking it !

Thanks for sharing with us your victory!!! =) CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm done with my Qbank and i only got QT 5,6 and 7 to answer. If you don't mind, how much was your overall percentage for your Qbank? I only got 57% =( I'm really praying that I'll pass this test. Do you have any advise for future test takers like me? Thanks for your time =) More power!

I'm feeling a little better about the Kaplan mishap after reading some reviews on them. Tonight, I will go back to my Saunder's CD using the Kaplan strategies. 150-200 questions a night and reviewing content I am weak in. I'm ready to be a nurse!! 18 days left.

Didn't do well on my Saunders tonight. I think its because I started studying so late and was annoyed with the questions from LaCharity. I'm a big negaholic and this could be my obstacle. I will start again tomorrow:(

good luck all! i am taking it on the 27th. Please keep me in your prayers. I think that is all i pray about-- all of us, nursing students to graduate nursing school and now nclex.. im doing saunders. i think its harder than nlcex 4k. my kaplan has expired already but i do recall it kicking my butt too!!

I actually graduated and had a 2 year gap between that and taking the nclex. I used an older Saunders cd and would just make the questions as hard as I could by picking every topic and all sata types. This way I couldn't infer answers from specific topics and I knew I had to be able to know more than just the obvious choices. Choose the answers you feel you could defend. I got 108 questions and passed. Great luck to all of you!

I just did the exam on Saunder's with all SATA, fill in blank and dragging, out of 100 I got 57 right. I think thats pretty good, LOL. My overall questions without SATA I'm getting better, I'm at 83 avg out of 100 now. IDK what to think. Just ready.

@Shae - i heard that if youre scoring >75%, you're good to go! good job!! i gotta start on my SATAs too..

Seems that I am at a standstill with my Saunders Cd. I can't get past 83%. I wish I could take it now. This week, I will keep doing 150 questions a night. Next week, its all SATA and Pharm. So anxious, I could burst.

Okay, with a week to go. I sincerely feel the panic settling in. Seriously.
