Hi guys :)
So I finally graduated on May 7th.. Yay me! Went on vacation a couple days following and got back on May 18th. Received my ATT yesterday afternoon through email and decided I would choose a date when I went into work that night. So I picked June 28th which gives me approximately a month to prep for the NCLEX. I just want to know if there's anyone else taking it in June or July? Also what are you doing to prep?
I haven't figured out my schedule just yet. So far I have been doing the Saunders Nclex Comprehensive Review questions online. I completed about 175 questions and I'm going through the rationales now making notes of what I got wrong.
I own the PDA book by Lacharity too! But I haven't started on it yet.
Also have been hearing rave reviews about Kaplan QBank just questions. I was thinking of purchasing the one month one for $100. But I want to figure out how to utilize everything first before I go spending money I don't have. Broke nursing student turn broke graduate nursing smh
I just want to hear from anyone that is going through or has gone through taking the NCLEX and what did you do, how did you organize your study plan and how long did you wait before testing?
Shoutout to the class of 2016! :)

I took and passed mine earlier this month. I used the NCSBN NCLEX RN review and passed with 75 questions, mostly SATA. I had less than 4 weeks and the material is very in depth if you try to review it all. For 3 weeks it's $50 and more for a longer time period. It can be found on their website. What's nice is there are thousands of questions with immediate rationale in the test banks that really prepares you for NCLEX because it mirrors it. Good luck!

Thank you! Congratulations on passing.
@saldridge, ADN Thanks for the advice! I just purchased it today and plan on starting on Tuesday after the holiday. How did you get the most out of UWORLD? I've seen nothing but rave reviews on here about it, so I'm excited to have found something that will work.

Congrats on graduating! Ive spent a lot of money on many materials (I had to take my nclex 5 times before passing) and I think Uworld was the most hopeful. Good luck & you can do it! :)
In my opinion Uworld is the most similar I've seen so far to NCLEX. The rationales are really great
