seriously don't worry about the number... I swear I thought that this weird number was a downer but nope - found out this morning, the weight of the world has been lifted!

Study tips:

My friend lent me the Feuer review (on CD) and I listened to it for a month. This is a Great content review with questions and really helps prioritization skills. I recommend this more than any review...

I also used saunders a lot and READ the book... it's worth it. Their outlines totally helped me remember things on the test. Also, instead of buying pharmacology cards, I wrote out my own from every chapter of the book... and this helped me remember meds better than anything. Although I was unsure of many of the med questions, none of them seemed foreign to me.

Feuer's pharmacology CD review is also excellent. I listened to the thing the day before and I swear I got a question directly from there and was able to recall it immediately! It's informative and not dry... There are some great personalities that really keep you interested and entertained.

I knew every disease/disorder on the exam.. I may have had to guess on the answers but at least I wasn't surprised and this is thanks to the Feuer review.

Things I wish I did better with: psychosocial... I always thought those would be the easiest but on NCLEX they were really difficult.

I probably studied these the least and had a ton on my test.

I hope this helps somebody out there and feel confident that you can pass... I really felt like I failed (and I'm not just saying that). I cried for two days waiting and my husband suffered for it.

Good luck!

Congrats! I'm using the Feuer CD review aslo, I'll be taking the exam next. Did yu try answering Kapaln questions, what scores did you make?

Honestly, I only skimmed through the Kaplan book... I know it helps a lot of people but it just wasnt for me... Plus I just didn't have the money to take the course which I'm sure would have helped me more with the book. But with the saunders book I ranged in the 70's to 80's. Good luck and thanks guys for the congrats.
