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
My scores were anywhere from 68-82 percent. I think I must have been pretty darn close to the passing line for it to keep giving me questions all the way to 265. I know a few failed on 75 so I'm sure Kaplan helped somewhat. Not knocking Kaplan at all but I figured I'd try something different like Hurst. I have a few friends who did the Hurst program for 3 months and loved it! Costs so much to retake so I am planning on buying that program for 3 months and try at it again.
