Good luck to you. You’ll be a great nurse someday.

You're not in a great position, so brace yourself for the worst. The good news is that you'll be allowed to retake the class if things don't go well.

It's difficult to answer questions about studying, because people have dramatically different ways of learning. For me, the most helpful thing was just reading the material ...initially, and again maybe the morning of the test (or the night before). I rarely knew all the right answers on any test, but I understood the concepts enough to guess correctly.

I've always hated study guides and taking notes, too. Study guides compartmentalize information too much, and notes distract me from paying attention to what's being said.

Some people are the exact opposite. You just have to think about what works for you.

Get a big book of study questions for NCLEX but be sure the one you get gives you not only the correct answers but the rationale for why the others are wrong. That will teach you a different way of thinking that will help you, and you can generalize a lot of it to other situations.

OP, did you pass?
