I have been out of school for two years and need to take the NCLEX I have time available to study for 3/4 hours a day at least. Any ideas for a study plan that can have me take the test in 6 weeks?
Thanks

The NCSBN has a study plan. I believe they have a 3wk, 4wk, and 6wk. It's pretty inexpensive. If you can afford it I would recommend the Hurst review. That's what I used. I've heard good things about Uworld too
Thanks, will look at that option.

Hey there!
I highly recommend Uworld plus kaplan plus PDA by Lacharity!
I passed my NCLEX with 75 questions, mostly SATAs (more than 30) and Mostly world helped me because it gives you an in-depth rationalization esp that you were out of school for a while. Do 75 questions a day with world then 2 or 3 topics of PDA, and if you want more, do kaplan. Good luck!
Thank you for your response, I appreciate the help!

Here is what I recommend.
1. NCLEX mastery app
2. Kaplan NCLEX review (with live option)
3. NCSBN...and try using the NCLEX decision tree with the NCSBN questions.
The NCSBN, IMHO, have the pharm drugs a lot more organized than Kaplan.
I just found out I passed this morning.

I used the Hurst review and I combined that with book learning with Saunders comprehensive review for nclex-RN
I made sure I practiced answering at least 75 questions per day since the minimum amount of questions is 75 to pass
good luck

I graduated 6 years ago, my last prep was just focusing on UWORLD a month before my test. I answer 75-100 questions/day and rationalize after, I study 3-4 hours/ day because I have a sneaky little kid who wants to play with me most of the time. I passed with 75 questions!

I have heard good things about all of the reviews mentioned above. I took my NCLEX a long time ago, and used Saunders. But the test was not online (I've been an RN 25 years). The important thing is to do questions and learn from the rationales... So you have that NCLEX type thinking going on! All the best.
