75 Questions and good pop-up...I hope it really works.

[nsgstu]

WOW, took the NCLEX-RN yesterday. It went blue after 75 questions. I turned blue as well....lol..not knowing was it for a good or bad. But, stepped out shaky and sweaty. Did the trick today and got good pop-up that everyone talks about and I really hope it works. This site has given so much to me during my studying. I thank everyone for the notes they have posted here and words of encouragement.

Thanks again!

Good luck to everyone who is taking it soon. Push the anxiety back and pull the "I can pass NCLEX" forward.

congrats!!! any advice on study tips?

Thanks! Just wanna say whatever time you have sloted to study, use it wisely. There are tons of people who do only questions. But, I felt it was not enough, so I did questions and content hand on hand. I did kaplan q-trainer, q-bank and content from Saunders book. I would say Kaplan does help you think through the questions and prepare you the best. Other than that, positive attitude, faith in yourself and lots of prayers day and night! Prayers really calmed me down.

I know there are people who say studying content is not the thing for this exam, but I think you have to have content knowledge in order to dig through right answer. And now after taking the exam, I would definitely suggest to review areas you think you are weak at. That's me though, no offense to anyone. Lastly, the test is very random, but possible!

Goodluck!

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your experience!

I can relate...I, myself need LOTS of content before I can apply Kaplan's test- taking strategies.

Smara- I had about 10-12 SATA, few who would you see first, I had lots of meds that I stopped counting after a while, couple of therapeutic communication and some random questions which i had never prepared/seen before.

Goodluck!
