Took the NCLEX-RN April 1, 2013 first time, i did 2 weeks of cramming. if it were up to me i wish i had more time and effort to have studied. I have to say, there is no way you can memorize so much for the exam. Most importantly You must know the concepts, principles, drug calg.+ formulas, strategies. There were more med. questions than i expected. The type of questions were to test one's critical thinking skills, application and analysis of concepts...anyway, i passed.thankfully. My advice, take time to study on management of care, medications. Best of luck to all!! P.s. changes to the exam is only for the nclex RN
