I know there is another pop-up that means you have to wait longer. I thought I save that thread. I can't find it and I can't think right now.

Does anyone know?

Thanks,

PVT worked! I took NCLEX on Feb. 28th and passed!!!

I did the Kaplan review course.

REWIND: I was one of those students that read I would say 90% of everything assigned in nursing school. There were times I had to prioritize doing a concept map over reading but I can say I studied all the time. I took Kaplan about 3 weeks after graduation. Then I would spend 3 to 6 hours a day studying. I took my boards on the 28th. But let me say, I did not study everyday. I was sick, my daughter was very sick with pneumonia and I was just plain burnt out.

My suggestions:

1.Do Kaplan if you can afford it (I know it's expensive, it was a gift or else I probably couldn't have done it either)

2. Do all of the LOD (learn on demand) content (especially lesson 8 it breaks down the READINESS TEST)

3. Do all the LOD videos.

4. Get a writing tablet and write down the stuff that you are either rusty on, do not remember, or plain never understood. And go back and research those areas.

I did about 73% if the Q bank questions and I was at a 60%

My test scores were as follows:

Diagnostic 62%

Q trainer 1 - 66.8

Q trainer 2 - 60

Q trainer 3 - 57

Q trainer 4 - 62

Q trainer 5 - 61

Q trainer 6 - 66

Q trainer 7 - 61

Readiness of 63.3 % (this score according to Kaplan says you have a 94.5% chance of passing the test)

I passed on the first attempt with 75 questions. You can do it too. I took 2 tylenol PM the night before the test. Got some Rescue Remedy (found at any health food store) and took that the morning of and I was suprisingly calm through the whole test, my heart was not beating out of my chest like it had been for the HESI. Now don't get me wrong. I was a wreck the days leading up to the test. I didn't feel ready, I wanted so bad to postpone my date AGAIN, like I had the 3 times before.

When I went into the test, I tried so hard to remind myself to use the decision tree, read each answer, don't just go with the first answer. Sometimes, I had to remind myself of that during the test, because it is that easy. If you can get over your fears and nerves. WE KNOW THIS INFO. trust in yourself that your instructors prepared you well and that if you passed nursing school you can pass the NCLEX.

My time in there flew by, it felt as if I had been there maybe 30 min. I was there 1.5 hrs when my computer shut off and I was so not ready to leave. I thought for sure I had failed, there is no way I had passed. I was waiting to get into the heavy duty anatomy physiology crap....nothing like that. The questions are just like Kaplan and I felt as ease taking the test. I guess that's why I thought I had failed, there was no way I could feel that comfortable and have answered correctly, no way! BUT I DID and so can you!

Best of luck, you got this!
