Suggested Study Plan for NCLEX?

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I was wondering if anyone had a study plan they found helpful during their NCLEX experience. I've been using the exam Cram 4th edition for questions and the saunders nclex review 6th edition for content. So far I've done 300 questions in the past 4 days, averaging at 72%. I know the saunders book has a ton of questions online, but I've read that people find they are below passing level questions. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi there, and welcome to AN :)

The answer to "if anyone has a study plan they found helpful" is a clear YES, and with that I'll tell you there are literally HUNDREDS of posts on HUNDREDS of threads where people have already said what they like, what they don't, what they find helpful, what isn't.

A great way to utilize this forum isn't to start threads with common questions, but rather to use the Search button at the top of the site to enter keywords and find A TON of information that is already there.

Why recreate the wheel? ;)

Hi. I would consider myself a lazy person who likes to get things done so this is how I studied for the NCLEX. After trying to go over material for a few days I became over whelmed and gave up. So, I went to the book store and did practice tests on individual sections ie respiratory, gi, L&D etc. If I scored above 75 I moved on if not I would read the explanations and keep testing until I received above 75. The last few days I did mixed tests until I got 75. I never studied more than 3 hours a day and only spent about a week studying total. I'm no genius but I do love efficiency. Passed the NCLEX the first time in the minimum amount of questions.

thanks so much! I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed on content as you said. I'm gonna try your approach. I don't want to stress myself too much.
