I scheduled my NCLEX for 9 days from today. I graduated from ADN school May 10th. I am having second thoughts and basically panic attacks after reading a few posts on here! Is it really that bad??!!! I graduated #1 in my class of 46 people, and on my ATI exit exam i scored an 83% which translates to a supposed 99% chance of passing nclex on the first try. (not sure how accurate that is though)
Since graduation I have been spending on average about 3 hours a day studying content and doing practice questions.. I did the hurst review back in December, and I am now using exam cram, lacaritys PDA book, and ncsbn for practice questions.
ncsbn i am getting anywhere from 60% to 75%
lacharity is very difficult for me, but i would say i am getting more than 1/2 of the questions right per chapter
hursts Q review i scored 69 and 72% on the 2 i have taken so far
can someone give me some insight?? does it sound like i should re schedule? i was feeling pretty confident until i read what people are saying
@kay21 -- that is fantastic news! I have been looking all day to see if you posted. Everyone I know that used the PVT and got the good popup passed! So proud of you! Did I warn you about the SATA? Just like you said, they just kept coming! I could tell when I got one wrong as I would get an easy, non SATA, then right back it went. YAY! Congrats, RN!
At razzlred and pfisteaj -- personally I thought that Saunders helped me the most and I got it off of Amazon for cheap. Came with a cd and I did those practice questions all the time. Has a way so that you can practice those darned SATA's! Good luck!
do you feel that hurst and their questions prepared you well?
what about lacharity?
hurst and lacharity definitely helped me the most. qreview and lacharity both have alot of SATA to practice with and i think reading their rationales was good because it told you how to select the right answer
