PVC'S and SVT leading up to NCLEX

[HopefulGradNurse]

Alright guys, I recently graduated from nursing school in May and I am supposed to be taking the NCLEX next week. We used ATI during school, but I've been using UWorld for review since graduation and I've completed about 900 questions so far. UWorld has placed me in the 86th percentile, but I am getting very nervous being as though I'm only 3 days away from testing. I've been relatively confident up until this point, but I can't help but feel like I may not pass. Which, as for anyone else, would be devastating... I'm getting to the point that I think my brain is just tired of answering questions and I'm just feeling down and anxious. I guess I really just need some encouragement from you guys. Thanks!

Try the pvt if you get the good pop up you're good to go. I didn't pass but I knew I didn't. I didn't sleep well the night before because I was worried I would oversleep. Anxiety got the best of me and I couldn't focus on the test and made stupid mistakes. I know I'll get it next time though, no doubt about it I know the material. The only part that sucks is waiting to be able to take it again.

That sucks You will get it next time. You know your stuff (I would assume based on Uworld scores). Did you schedule yours for early morning? I didn't do this because I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep and would just worry about waking up on time. I scheduled mine for 2pm, but they let me take my test hours early. So maybe schedule it for afternoon, wake up leisurely, and then just go in early? Every time I came across a question that I had no clue about, I would also tell myself that it was probably just part of the random 15 questions that don't count...it helped a little during the test.

You got this.

I'll try to gather some courage to do the PVT. My friends told me that the questions from Uworld, Kaplan and Lacharity are more difficult than the actual exam, I beg to disagree. I thought the actual questions were a lot difficult.

I agree. I didn't think NCLEX was easier than Uworld.

Yeah, neither did I. I feel like the NCLEX was broader in many areas whereas UWORLD was rather concise

Just an update guys. Received my quick result today and I passed.í ½í¸Š Wishing all the future examiners good luck, my advice is physically and mentally prepare yourself the more relaxed you are the more you will be able to answer properly just the right amount of anxiety is needed, enough to get those adrenalin rushing.
