Now that my nerve is settled a bit, I'd like to share my experience.
Yesterday, I wrote my nclex RN test, and surely did not passed. That is the feeling that I have and im fine, next time better luck. However, I spent a lot of doing the Hurst online review which is a good source for content but I think I prioritized my study material wrong.
A couple months ago I read through PDA and answered all the questions and did not pay more attention to the book till the morning of my test day which was yesterday the 21st of Jan. I swear my next attempt taking the nclex RN exam, I will stick to PDA. The question style is just like the real NCLEX exam and guess what, I recognised two questions from PDA on my exam. I would not know the answers if I did not read through that chapter that morning. My future study materials are going to be PDA, Kaplan 2012-2013, Hurst review and I will try to some chapters from Saunders. The disadvantage for me to go over Saunders book is" that it is so broad and boring" although it is a good book if you have the time and long attention span to go through it. Once again, I am posting this with you but not that my performance was up to standard otherwise I would have passed the test.
I am desperate but dertermine to get my license soon or later.
Good luck to everyone taking the test.
