CCU13

Congratulations on passing. I am taking my exam within the next month or so and wanted to know how you organized your day to do hurst and kaplan. I, too, will be using hurst, kaplan, PDA, and Lippincott SATA and questions review book. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

The nursing program at Nyack College is a new program. The first graduating class was this may 2013.

Thank you so much for your response and support. I am a little more at ease with the way I have been preparing for this exam and will definitely take your advise on how to continue. I will focus more on my weakness and do questions everyday until my exam day.Thanks again!

Hi. Your story is so inspirational and I applaud you for getting through making it through this rough patch. You did it!!!!! :) I, too, am taking my exam in 2 and a half weeks and still feel like I don't know anything after going over some content. You said a person can do a thousand questions and still know nothing. I agree with that 1,000%; people have been telling me to just do questions and I just couldn't understand how they can tell me to do questions when I feel like i don't know enough. At this point, I am so overwhelmed that I don't think I can memorize much. After all, I have 2 and a half weeks before my exam. For content, I am doing NCSBN and it is very informative but ALOT of information. It takes me close to a whole day to do 1 lesson. By the time I am done with the lesson, I am ready for bed. Do you have any advice on how I should organize my time and day? I am a morning person. Did you begin your day by doing NCLEX style questions? I am not sure of how to organize my day where I have enough time to go over all the content and memorize it and do about 150 questions a day. Also for me, SATA is my weakness. Does Saunders have a book thats just SATA and alternate questions? Your advice would be greatly appreciated, especially since you have been through the struggle. Thanks

Thank you for the advice. Since I did QT5 today, I will go over the rationales and redo the test in a few days and will do the same for the earlier QT's.

Hi. I have been preparing for the NCLEX for about a month by just doing questions everyday and going over content little by little. I am using kaplan and started off by doing poorly on the qbanks. I used to get 40s and 50s on the qbanks; now my highest score is a 66, but I still have more practice questions to do. However, for the Question trainers, I have been doing poorly. My scores are QT1-38%; QT2- 48%; QT3- 52%; QT4- 44.7%; QT5- 49.3%. These question trainer scores are pretty low but my qbank scores seem to be ok. I think? I have also been using NCSBN for content but stopped working on that to focus on practicing questions. I take my nclex in 2 weeks and am not sure on how successful I will be. Need some advice.
