Study plan for 4th time nclex-pn test taker

Published

My plan is to take the nclex-pn mid-November and this is my study plan:

  • Content - Exam Cram 3rd Edition
  • Test Taking Strategies - Kaplan 6th Edition
  • Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment - LaCharity 2nd Edition

And questions questions questions from all books + anything I come across.

  • $50 3-week course on NCSBN (maybe)

I seen you posted that you were out of school for 9 yrs. I've been out for 3 years and I'm having a difficult time studying and focusing...any suggestions? Thank you :)

Hi everyone I'm new here and I'm soooo nervous on my nclex pn exam coming up Oct 31. I'm not confident when it comes to SATA type and I've read a lot of experiences where people ha email so many of them! How can I prepare myself for SATA? So far I have completed NCSBN 5 weeks, I'm still doing kaplan on demand with about 600qbank left to go, 69% readiness on kaplan, I think I've done around 3000 q&a within the 2 months that I have been studying, and yet I still feel like I need more. Besides kaplan and ncsbn I have been reading exam cram and q&a on Saunders. Help anyone?

Hi I would definitely recommend you take the ncbsn course. It is very helpful.

Hi, thanks for the reply! Yes I agree ncsbn was very helpful but I needed more questions to practice on so I enrolled in kaplan on demand because I have heard that Kaplan has very challenging questions. Anyways I'm just praying that I don't let my nerves get the best of me. What else helped you with preparing?
