Studying For NCLEX: Feeling Like Its Going No Where

Updated:   Published

how-did-you-pass-nclex.jpg.e2e127ba2c98c5719914afd450416e78.jpg

I attended BMCC...I struggled through out the program and I feel inferior as far as content. I have simple nursing.com, nursing.com and listened to Mark Klimek.  They are helpful and  I wish knew about Mark Klimek earlier.  However I am getting like almost 50% on quizzes from nursing.com, simple nursing.com, and the ones on nurslabs. I failed a practice NCLEX on nursing.com in 75 questions which is awful I know. I have a full time job and study for 3 hours 6 days a week.  I feel like I am going no where with all this studying and hardly any improvement I have been studying since Christmas Day.

It just seems pointless and I feel like I never know enough to pass this NCLEX

I test Tuesday, but I feel like it helps to have a system/plan for each day. Also, the biggest thing is reading those rationales regardless if you got it right or wrong. I have been studying 6-ish hours a day for the past month and still feel completely lost. How many questions are you doing a day? I know it takes so long having to study the rationales.

I generally do 5-10 questions per day.

Any updates?

I test on Friday and I need good news from others. 
I’m extremely nervous. I’ve been using UWorld, NCLEX high yield and a text book to study for over a month now.

Good luck! I took mine last week and passed. It was an odd test. Just take your time and don’t overthink those SATAs! Also, my state posted my license in less than 24 hours, so check that the next day.
