Question about 'quick results'

caliotter3 · Sep 18, 2010

You should study as if you have never tested before instead of trying to pinpoint from one area to another where you should study, hit and miss. Cover everything to make yourself ready.

In Florida, I recieved my results by mail in 2 weeks, and I agree, keep studying!

Yes, I understand that. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to know my weakest areas. It does help to apply that when studying. I would never concentrate on just one or two areas for my retest as I realize the question bank they pull from is huge.

pararescue, thanks for the info on mailed results :) I hope mine come as quickly.

As for my result. It took almost 3 week to get my result. I didnt pass the first time too and am going to retake it again next 2week. right now i'm just doing as much question as i can. I would have to say i'm doing at least 300 question perday.

I understand LuckieLadie, I am not sure about the quick results, however, I felt I was strong in some areas such as pharm and psych and the management of care got me this time. I will continue to studay all areas, and as you know, we get things you have never seen that studying just doesn't cover. I wish you the best, I haven't re-applied yet but let me know how it goes. :) We will get thru this!!!!

Well I've decided against even viewing the 'quick results', no need to pay to see 'fail' when I've already verified it. Right now I just need positive thinking! I hate feeling defeated. I mapped out a study plan for the next 5-6 weeks, involving content and practice questions. I feel like a wasn't completely confident in my content,:grn: but I know it's too short a time to focus on only that. So I'm touching on the important topics such as cardio, repsiratory, and endocrine. Two days a week I've dedicated entirely to priority questions and SATA questions ( my exam had SO much priority). Then I will do NLCEX practice questions throughout the week in my empty slots. The last week before my test I am going to do only practice NCLEX tests to set my mind in 'test' mode. I plan to do a toal of 1000-1500 questions a week. I also allowed myself to take Friday off to relax and renew as my library closes before I get home from work. Any other suggestions? I have La Charity, Saunders and Review's and Rationales NCLEX. Unfortunately I cannot afford Kaplan or Hurst. I also have to stop second guessing myself when I choose an answer...

Good luck py2010 on your retest! You can do it! :)

pararescue4 I'm filling out the application next week when I get paid, I will let you know how it goes. And yes we WILL get through this!

Sounds like you have a great plan! I will be filling out my re app as well. I cannot afford KAPLANS either but did get the book from the library. I did Mosbys but I felt it had too much on Mom & Baby. Def do priority, I saw alot of those too and know your drugs and herbals.....Most of the questions I find are alot easier than the actual NCLEX so I have ATI from school still and have been reviewing that for reinforcement of systems and drugs. I also have a had time sitting doing questions for long periods, so I am re-training myself to take more breaks. I think when we over study we lose alot. Also, try going back to basics, like nursing process and critical thinking from your books, this seems to have things I really dont remember from school! Wow! and yes, we will do it!
