    Help Scheduling NCLEX

    medic 2 RN replied to Kgs2017's topic in NCLEX

    I graduated May 10th and tested May 29th, which was the earliest test date I could get. Passed NCLEX at the 75 question mark. I used ATI Board Vitals and Passpoint for pre-exam studying, both of which seemed harder than the NCLEX.

    medic 2 RN replied to caffianatedstudier97's topic in NCLEX
