What, if anything did you successful test takers do to prepare? I am already going on a much needed date with my husband tonight, and after that I'm not studying, I will use the day of (29th at 2) to review study tips.

My attitude is I'm not going to know everything, but the study tips and tricks will help at least.

I'm going crazy, can you tell!!!! Thanks for any advice, tips or tricks you guys. I will post tomorrow how it went and then the 30th I find out my results! :nurse:

Okay I'm going to be honest about it. Took it today for the first time after being out of school for a year, and had all 265 questions. I kinda figured since being out i wasn't gonna get 75 and was just happy that the computer didn't shut off at 75 and kept giving me questions. But honestly I didn't think the questions where bad. I mean if you don't know a subject than you just don't know and just take a guess! Most of the topics and the meds where not so out of this world. In fact I was kinda surprised about how many I recognized but figuring out all the side effects well that i was a different story.But who knows I'm not trying the PVT tonight just wanna watch tv and have a glass of wine. I did get a bunch of priority who would you see first, infection control, so know PPE with isolation, two med questions, and about 25 or so SATA. If you have been studying you will be ok!! I just kinda went into knowing of well if I don't get than at least I will have another shot! GOOD LUCK

The test is very straight forward. You can pretty much rule out 2 questions, which gives you a 50% chance of picking the correct answer.

Best of luck to you!

I took the test this morning and got 250-something questions. I felt like crap afterwards and seriously cried in the car. Tried PVT and got the good pop up, but it doesn't feel real until BON says it is. I also keep on thinking the pop up is a dream. Good luck everyone!
