running out of time =/

Published

So I graduated in may and have waited several months to schedule my NCLEX date because typically I am afraid to take it. I finally decided to schedule it about three weeks ago for the twenty fourth of this month...nine days away. Basically the fewer days till the big test the more edgy I am becoming. I am not sure if I am studying right or for that matter...studying enough. I feel as though I could never study enough for this test. This is overwhelming me...what if I take the test and know none of the questions. The thought of failing is horrible and I just want this to be all done with. I'm running out of time and I still don't feel even half way ready, and I feel if I move the date I will never get around to working up the nerves just to take it.

wow i thought you had to wait longer im so excited i am going to try that tomorrow

Hi Crazykate. I just came from taking my NCLEX. My appointment was at 1:00 pm Eastern Time but they let me start around 12:30 because I was early. It took me almost 3 1/2 hours and I got all 265 questions. I was nervous and my heart was racing as I walked in the door but once I got started answering questions I felt SO confident for some odd reason. I personally didn't think the test was really that bad and I felt that I knew just about everything except a few things that I was questioned on. That could be because I had practiced over 7000 NCLEX style questions over a 2 month period. I got about 7 SATA, about 5 meds, 2 math, and a LOT of priority and just a few delegation. I felt as though I was sitting at my own house on my own computer (probably because that is where I have been for 2 months, LOL). The testing site was 2 hours from my house and I raced home and did the PVT trick and I GOT THE GOOD POP UP AND I HOPE THAT IT WORKS!!! I will find out on Saturday for sure because my state has quick results.

GOOD LUCK AND I WILL PRAY FOR YOU TOMORROW!!! Try not to get nervous (I know it is easier said than done). Take your time and read each possible answer.

BTW, does your state have quick results?

Oh I forgot to add that I did NOT tell anyone that I was going except for my husband and my daughter who is only 6 yrs old. She was praying for me before she went to school this morning and I thought that was so sweet of her. I really didn't want to tell my husband but my appt was so late and he would be wondering where I was.

How did you study the last week? Any certain things you covered...or did you just continue answering questions?

I continued to answer questions and did some more review in my NCLEX book. A few days before my exam I read over the random facts thread on here. It really helps because some of the stuff I read were similar questions on my exam. I know some people say relax the day before the test but I just couldn't. I studied just about all day and I couldn't help myself. It was like a cram lesson for me.

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAM!!!
