Thank you so much! I'll definitely remind myself to breathe and take one question at a time!

Hi Everyone! I'm testing tomorrow, 6/23, in the afternoon and have been reading soo many posts throughout my studying to help me through my nerves. I took a rest day today (I only went through the allnurses NCLEX notes once through this morning), but haven't studied since! Any last advice/words of encouragement? I love reading them and you guys are so sweet and encouraging! Thank you so much!

Did you feel that the Simulation definitely reflected the difficulty of the actual NCLEX when you ended up taking it? Was it worth it for you and do you feel it was accurate with the results? I have them and plan on taking the Simulation in a couple days after I do more questions.

Thank you so much :) I really appreciate all the help and advise you've been giving!! I have confidence knowing I am doing what I need to do, I just hope it reflects when I take it!

Congratulations!! I guess that just proves what everyone says, it's not about the scores, its what you learn from the rationales :)

So I ended up breaking down and getting UWorld like you guys suggested after fighting with myself! And ya'll are definitely right, UWorld is so informative and with each test, I feel that I am growing in my critical thinking. I've been doing questions for a week and a half now and I've done 828 questions so far with a 63% overall score. I plan to finish the bank and do the 2 assessments. My question for those that have passed (Congratulations to all of you!! That's so awesome!), how were the questions on UWorld compared to the actual NCLEX? I hear some say that the NCLEX is more broad, and some say UWorld is more specific and harder.... What are your thoughts?

June 23rd for me! After I graduated early this May I started to really feel the anxiety of not doing anything, so two days after I graduated I started studying. I didn't take any review courses because it's sooo much money, but I have some books and apps. I have the Saunders, LaCharity, and Kaplan's book that you can buy on amazon, and I also have the NCLEX Mastery app. (edit: I also have Passpoint that I had to get for my last semester of school) I made a schedule for myself and have stuck to it really well; next week will be my last full week of reading the chapters of Saunders and then I've read through it all and I am basically done with Kaplan and LaCharity (except for the case studies). I think i'm psyching myself out because I really did feel very confident before, but reading some of the forums on here makes me so nervous because almost everyone has taken a review course, and almost everyone has done UWorld. I've been going back and forth on getting UWorld, but I have so many resources that I actually want to get through, and even go over a second time plus the extra money and the time restraint. Has anyone else not taken a review course and been okay? I really do think and I pray that it will be. Does anyone like Mastery app? I love it so far! But I heard it's not as good as UWorld :/
