Drexel Excel NCLEX Review course is a total disaster. I do not recommend anyone to take that review class. DO NOT SPEND $400 for that or any other DREXEL NCLEX EXCEL prep course. They do not even refund the money even if you failed as they promised.

1. I got 76 questions.
2. I took a review course provided by my SON by Sylvia Rayfield (Nursing Made insanely easy people) their materials and I also used Saunders.
3. My school required us to do HESI testing in between our first year and at the end of our last year. The exit exam I got a 988.
4. I waited like 46 hours after I took NCLEX for my results.
5. After taking the NCLEX I was so scared! I didnt know what to think or feel...I felt like I was holding my breath for 2 days. It was awful! I knew that with 76 questions I had either REALLY failed or REALLY passed and was hoping it wasnt the first option. And it wasnt...I PASSED!!

2. I used the Nursing Made Incredibly Easy Review books and CD, NCLEX RN Gold CD, Stat Nursing Consultant's book Good Thinking: Test Taking and Study Skills for Nursing Students, and a Chicago Press NCLEX review book I borrowed from the library.
3. Our SON used NLN tests, each semester of schooling and each specialty course. I scored from the 85th percentiles to the 99th percentiles. In our final term, Leadership/NCLEX, we took Mosby's Assess test and I scored in the 99th percentile
4. Checked the State boards of nursing results 48 hours and the results were posted.

5. What were your thoughts coming out of the test (total disbelief, certainty you had failed, confident you had passed)? I intially felt indifferent thinking wow there was so much i didn't know i needed more questions. Then i thought well i know i got some right so if i was close to failing i hoped the computer would have given me more questions. Over the next 41 hours i bounced back and forth thoughts of passing and failing. I just wasn't sure either way.
felt very confident during the exam started to get nervous as the questions kept coming, the past 48 hours i have been on a roller coaster ride pass?/fail?!!
