Number of questions daily to prep??

Published

Just wondering how many questions you guys have been doing a day to prep for the NCLEX? I've been doing about 2 chapters out of my book a day which is 120 questions. Just wondering if that is a reasonable amount. Usually takes me between 1-2 hours a day.

What you are doing is reasonable. You could step it up to 200 questions a day if you wanted, or down to only 100. Just don't fatigue your brain too much, or you will waste time while you are tired.

They say to do around 150 questions per day according to Kaplan.

I can tell you that I spent days and days and many 12h night shifts going over question after question after stinkin' question... I took my exam today... got all 265 (got the good pop-up) and not a dang one of the 265 was familiar after the 1000's of questions I went over.... sooooooo Don't kill yourself!

I did a total of 2000 questions, I finished all of LaCharity which is the best book i have invested in it gives you different questions in all subjects. And some Saunders Disc. The test is different your gonna see but i can relate the questions to lacharity. I had only 3 weeks to study and maybe 100 a day, try to condense everything in a short amount of time and take the test sooner. Practice questions help but its knowing how to read the question. I just found out I passed today with 75 questions, and took a risk with just the Lacharity and Saunders, no Kaplan, so there is a way.

I did 4000+ questions, and it took me a month or so... most days were somewhere between 100-150 questions. I read the rationales to ALL of them, and wrote hundreds of notecards, taking notes every time I ran across something in the rationales that I didn't know...

I passed, 75 questions.

Good luck!
