Thank you everyone for all of your tips. I will start to study and take soon as I am ready. This website helps a lot.

Hi guys! i'm just wondering if are you talking about the academic or general IELTS? and which one is easier or harder? I've heard that one of them are harder just like TOEFL... thanks!

Well, the new structure of TOEFL has included the TSE. They have 3-5 of at least 700 words per passage in READING, LISTENING, SPEAKING and WRITING sections. I thought this is just a piece of cake test......but it wasn't, specially if the State required a higher score. Most people that I talk about the new TOEFL structure has not pass on the first try. Also, about the Reading and Listening part, they have to choose of at least one half part that is intended for experimental only, excluded in the scoring, therefore, you have to do your best in answering all of the questions, i think more than 100qs for R&L alone. You are lucky if they choose the hardest passage for experimental, but I guess it doesn't happen. Practice.....practice....practice......if you can't find the latest edition from your library then you can also search TOEFL books in amazon.com, Good Luck!

You are absolutely right!

Thanks! I am currently in the US, where are you now? pls PM me here....

If you devote your time, you can do the Kaplan Questions online for a week or less.....

another encouraging message for all of you guys: well, according to some books like nsna and saunders, nclex questions are based on at least two books, you just have to know or be familiar with the nursing content then practice questions and paying attention on right and wrong rationale. about me, i've read more than 8,000 but less than 10,000 qs. i followed the steps of some people advised here to start the easy qs b4 doing kaplan questions. i started with lippincott and saunders then to the harder qs, which is kaplan. i can say that the nclex questions are a way different of all the questions i've practice and strongly agree with some post here that the rationale is important. thanks to spiderman mneumonic of infection control, it's a huge helped for me and my friend! i think most of them we had answered correctly, although it's tricky but our compilation of infection control information from this site really helped us. honestly, i really got a low score of infection control before i found the spiderman. i don't have time to read the too much information of cdc website. you may want to review each nursing category and then try to answer few questions with same nursing content or category before moving to other category and then if you are ready to brush up your knowledge you can do 100-200 questions two weeks before the exam. evaluate you weak areas (e.g. physiological, implementation, analysis, etc....) and fix it before your nclex schedule. about me, before i went to the testing center i opened this site http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywm6swu8f9c and sang "lead me lord" for 4mins and then pray not only for myself but also for my friends and people here in allnurses.com who really praying and studying hard just to pass. we should not be selfish for our prayers so the blessings will come smoothly. to god be the glory! nclex-rn, i passed with 75qs on my 1st try and a week after, my friend also passed on her 2nd try with 75qs but failed on her 1st try by studying kaplan alone! we studied almost the same materials and some beneficial notes that posted here. we finished our degree outside us. i have many thread here posted the books that i used. by the way, her sister pn also passed on 1st try! isn't that amazing??? keep reading this helpful site too! study hard and pray hardest to your god! "to god be the glory"

You are always:hrns&wlcm: nina!

hi ujones00! :ancong!: :dncgbby::dncgcpd::reef::candle::starornament: i like this bible verse, mark 11:24 "whatever you desire when you pray believed the you receive and you shall received" god is always faithful with his promises! to god be the glory! :clphnds: he is never late! i am happy for you unique jones! :ancong!: dissipate the goodness and miracle of our god!

here is the link of infection control mneumonics: https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/infection-control-mnemonics-299890.html You can make a study plan like this: 2-3 weeks you have to finish Saunders, 1 week Kaplan book, 1 week La Charity Prioritization book, 5days exam cram, etc....... it was posted on my bedroom so everytime i wake up i don't have to be sluggard in studying which is my weakness ever since i was in nursing school. I never done reading all the chapters that was our coverage like 3-5chapters, i usually read only 1-2chapters but I am very thankful. God never leave nor forsake.

:ancong!: :dncgcpd::dncgbby::tbsk: I've read from your other post that you passed!!!!! :tree:
