RNgrad5/2008

Thanks for the encouragement:loveya:

To me it seemed worse than Kaplan. There were some that were like Saunders but majority were hard. If I have to retake it than I will have to! I just dont want to go through that again, it was terrible!

I took the NCLEX today and got all 265. I have read previous postings and I know it can go either way. I just felt like after 200, I could not answer anymore. My brain was fried. There were so many questions that I could not use the Kaplan strategies. I dont feel good about it. I have already prepared my husband that I am taking it again. I just cant believe how hard it is. There was so much stuff that I did not recognize. Why do they have to make it so hard? My brain hurts right now! I think I am having a CVA! Ooh, I had a questions about that!! LOL!! :redbeathe:no:

Have you taken a review course? The rule of thumb that I have heard is you should answer 100 sample NCLEX questions everyday for 30 days. I just graduated last week. I should be taking mine in the next 2 months. I am studying a Kaplan book and plan on buying access to 3000 sample questions. This is what I hear, hopefully it will work for me. Dont give up, I know someone where it took her 5 trys. It stinks but not only do you have to prepare yourself academically, you need to prepare yourself mentally. Dont go into it thinking you will fail it, i know that is hard to do. keep trying.:typing
