Wow!!.. Congrats again..I'm having anxiety now I feel like I don't know everythin..:'(

Thank you!!! I really didn't believe that the PVT would be accurate for me. haha But it was, so hurray!!!

I felt like I didn't know any of the questions I was asked, but just sit there and think your way through it and you will get more right than you know. :) I used the white board I was given to rationalize my way through some questions. Good luck! You can't know it all, but you do know a lot so just go out there and use that knowledge!!!

I also took the test yesterday. I stopped at 75q and tried the PVT, and I got a good pop up. I am still waiting for the results so that I can fully celebrate.

Some tips I have:

It's perfectly okay to feel nervous, anxious the day before and minutes before the test. TRY TO RELAX and DO FUN things the day before your test. I asked a friend to have lunch with me and we watched "The change up" and for a few hours, my mind was off the NCLEX.

Just take deep breaths when you take it. Take your time and just check your answer and the question again before clicking next. I also used the white board quite a few times to rationalize some of my answers. I also made a tally of all my SATA answers, I figured if I keep getting them I am in a good position.

After taking the test, I was so relieved that it was over. I also felt like I did okay. One of my friends took it with me and it was so nice to have someone there. Mind you, we didn't plan to take it together. Just happened that way.

Last piece of advice, believe in yourself and just keep saying "I CAN DO THIS. I WILL PASS." Also prayers helped me.

Good luck to all future NCLEX takers. I will update once I get the official results. For now, getting the good pop up is keeping me not so nutty.

I am taking my NCLEX tomorrow morning at 10:00 (Texas) Soo is there any last minute things I should be looking over? Or if anyone could say a prayer or two.. maybe even three for me... That would be amazing! This is my third time to take nclex.. 1st time 75 questions.... 2nd time265 questions.. I am praying what they say is true 3rd time is the charm... (or something like that) I am starting to get anxious and freaking out.. Wondering if I have studying all the major points that I need to.. (Sigh) so overwhelmed..
