UWorld and mark klimek are honestly the best resources, goodluck!

I spent a lot of time studying for it and wish I wouldn’t have. UWorld has really long questions with a bunch of stuff in the question that isn’t needed. But the NCLEX had like 1 lined questions and was really straight to the point. They didn’t try to trick you, you either know it or you didn’t. Prepare for a lot of select all though.. I got 42 SATA. Just go with your gut instinct, you know this stuff!! Way easier than UWorld and the tests I took in nursing school.

Damn, that's a lot of SATA ? Every test is different though, since it's computer adaptive testing. I found myself checking out mentally with UWorld and I've realized it's because it's so wordy. My exam is this Friday and I just bought Archer on Monday and I find the questions less wordy. I've also gone back to ATI and I've been doing fairly well with those questions.

 

Did you pass?

Yes, I passed in 75 questions. The structure of the test questions is pretty similar to archer! But I really didn’t use archer too much. I also found mark klimek videos to be helpful but they can take a long time to finish.

Congratulations to those of you who have passed! So exciting! Thank you for the tips as well! My program used ATI, so that's all I have been using, I hope I did not screw myself since now I really don't have time for anything else. 

I did not hear anything about virtual Q&A.

Good luck to you! I got the email for the Q&A  but seems it's only for Med Surg and Emergency Specialty Services

Thank you so much!! That makes sense, I'm ED. That explains why I did not get it ?
