But when I finish the first tip should I schedule my test at that point or should I wait a month after I start Suzannes Plan to schedule the test please some advice to this? What should I do at that point?

Suzanne can answer better, but I believe that her program is 45 days after finishing the first tip.
Oh yes I know it takes 45 days but I'm trying to understand what route to take so I can get offered her plan.

She did say you need to have 45 days to commit to her 2nd tip AFTER you're done with her 1st tip. I hope I answered your question or she'll have it posted somewhere on this forum.
Hmmm i think you should wait or give yourself about 2 months to schedule your test again and no more than 5 months to prepare for her program. I finished her 1st tip and i'm planning to schedule my NCLEX-PN in October but I didnt realized I have to have 15 posts before I can PM her and i read that she has a full time job so it will take her no more than 2 weeks or 2 months to let you know about her 2nd tip. I hope this helps.

I would suggest having a date once you have completed your first tip and before you send her a pm. You have to have 45 days of a bit more for your test and she requests that you give test date in pm.

My plan takes a full 45 days from when it is sent out, not from when you finish the first tip. You also never want to be preparing up until the day of the exam, so allow three extra days if testing the first time and 4 if a retest.
I do not look at a calendar, but base it on a 30 day month. Those that will be on my list for the next mailing on or around August 1 will not be testing before September 18/19. Hope that this helps.
But you need to have a date in mind before I will even consider someone for my program and requests are never sent to me until the first tip is actually done.
Thanks everyone for helping me to understand my question. I may ask again but for right now I'm not to that point yet so I hope I get excepted when I finish the 1st tip!!!!!!!!! Needed Clarification on how this worked.

You have to answer the quizzes at the end of each chapter and score at least 75. If you don't then read the chapter & redo the quiz. All of the instructions are posted on a sticky at the top of this nclex forum. She tells you exactly what to do.:wink2:
There is no place that states anything about reading the book. It actually tells you not to do that.
You go to the quiz at the end of the chapter, and complete it. If you do not get the required 75%, then you read that chapter and only that chapter and take the quiz again. Your score should be over 90% if your reading skills are where they should be.

I have started an additional thread at the top of the NCLEX Forum responding to questions such as these. Please just have a good read there, all have been answered in that one place and it will make it easier for others to follow.
