Take boards in 2 days, did all of Mark Klimek review and only 500 UWorld.Is this enough?

[Miss.MSN.]

Hi all,

I am taking my boards on Thursday and my preparation thus far has been listening to all of the Mark Klimec audio lectures and have done about 500 UWorld questions and the NCLEX RN Self-Assessment 1 exam UWorld offers. I scored in the 77th percentile for that, which I was honestly very surprised at because throughout nursing school on almost ALL of my hesis I scored in the 650-700 range which is pretty low.

Anyways basically what I want to know is if anyone has experience with exclusively using the Klimek audios and successfully passing the NCLEX-RN on the first attempt with similar hesi scores? My Uworld scores have been going up to the 60s and 70s for the Q-bank tests that I make, so I feel like maybe I am ready but know alot of people who don't take the exam until completing all 2000 Qs which I honesty think is just a little much. Mark was amazing and feel from his 12 hours of lecture I learned more than I did in my two year entry level RN-MSN program. Should I wait and finish my 2000 Q-bank or is Mark enough?

Really depends on you! I'd say if you feel ready and confident about your skills, then go for it. Really, doing NCLEX practice questions just gets you into the habit of thinking critically and answering their questions; imo it's not really for anymore learning/content review. 60s-70s is generally a good score for Uworld, from what I heard!

Hey, curious to see how you did! I never heard of Klimek but was going to check him out since I've been seeing it recommended- and I know friends who got those scores on UWorld or lower and they passed/ but they also did a short Hurst review for content. I think from everything I've read people who did Hurst + UWorld + NCSBN 3 week review generally passed exam. This is what I'm doing except replace hurst with ATI- it's my FOURTH attempt and my state, Indiana, is making me do a refresher course. Kaplan wasn't that good for me- it came with my school, and I am only using it for content lectures as they are short.
