Woooohoooo! I passed the exit! I was so SICK as were a few of my other classmates! The darn system shut down 20 min into the test so our nerves just got shot that much more, but we still did it!
I just wanna give a shout out to some fellow classmates that I know read these posts! Congrats to those that passed and those that didn't, you got it next week! I know you do!
Those at other schools---do a TON of questions to get ready for the content! It's a very FAIR test! We all can do this!
NCLEX, we are coming for you next!

Congratulation to you, and I have to go through this pretty soon
Thanks guys!
NCLEX is scary but I'm excited for it! Sept 13 at 8am!!!!
Arjunbibash---it wasn't that bad (the exit) it was just the stress leading up to it. My best advice? When you are taking the test, fold your hands on your lap, or sit on them, do something to occupy your hands so you dont impulse click the mouse. Good luck!

What is the best way to study for the HESI?
ours wasn't a hesi, it was an ATI...and how I prepped? Practice questions (a lot) and reading topics I was weak on.Thank you Commuter!
Itsnowornever, probably you are right just occupy your hand with doing something else or sit on them, anyway good luck on your nclex !
I ran my own little "research study" on the folding hands or keeping them occupied with something else, and my "research" (with about 40 students) showed that they did up to 20% better when their hands were away from the mouse than when they tested with their hands on the mouse. It forced them to read everything before selecting answer, and even that second between removing your folded hands and placing them on the mouse allowed for verification of the answer!
I took my NCLEX Wed and used the same principle (hands) and got 75 questions and the good pop up!
I like that sit on your hands! Very good advice. I am a clicker! I will take that to my classmates!
