Passed NCLEX @ 75 questions

Published

I have been lurking thru this thread for a couple of month now. I just took my NCLEX stopped @ 75 questions & ended up with a grey screen at the end and passed. Here's how I did it for those who are contemplating on studying on their own due to the fact that money is tight:

Read the Delegation, Priority book by LaCharity--this book is amazing. The Nclex is all about priority & management after reading this book those questions were easy to answer.

ALL Nurses has an infection control thread with easy to remember pneumonics this helped me answer the infection control questions, which were a majority of the questions asked.

NCSBN: took the 5 week course in the early beginning of my studying. WIsh I had taken the course the last three weeks before the exam. Very cheap & worth every penny

I also did 500 lippincott questions & some from Nclex 3500 & random Saunders questions. Every question I had wrong I looked it up in Saunders or Brunner so I can familiarize myself with the disease process. And then I reviewed those notes.

The NCLEX questions are so RANDOM there is no way you can know it all. Your best bet is to do practice questions & for questions you do not know & try to elimanate the wrong answers so you can find the right answers. That's the best way to tackle this beast. It's really not about how smart you are or how much you know. The anxiety of it all can really get to you.

I got tons of priority questions, infection control & about 7 to 8 SATA ques. Im glad it's over now.

Good Luck to anyone about to take their exam--it's tough but don't give up--never give up.

Congratulations!

I also passed NCLEX-RN end of February with 75 questions, the computer stopped like 2-3 minutes before the 2 hr break. I took the exam several times and failed but this time I made it! The only difference I did was I made it a point that in a day I would only answer and understand deeply the 100-200 questions and their rationales. It worked! I did not allow myself to be overloaded like what I did with my previous reviews. Also, I enrolled at Kaplan Qbank. It really helped me lot, I gained confidence in answering the questions during the actual exam. Also, Kaplan's Q&As are somehow similar with the actual questions.. well, that's just my opinion. :)

Goodluck to all NCLEX takers. Just study hard and be prepared! :)
