I am taking the NCLEX this Friday as well. Nervous and excited all at the same time. Been doing Kaplan for the past 3 weeks. The day before....I am not doing anything NCLEX related. I am going to get a good nights rest and pray for the best. :)

I started Kaplan on Dec 25... I just feel like i should be doing more. Not sure why really. Guess its just nerves. Good luck to you and let me know how it goes... Im going to try the PVT, I had a dream last night that I got the "good pop up" So praying that it goes that way :)

What were your scores like for the qbank? and did you think the qbank was a good rep of the actl exam?

AND i feel like saunders is sooo much easier then kaplan.. what do you think?

Took Kaplan, passed with 80 questions first time. I thought Kaplan was wayyyyy better than our crappy ATI tests at school. Dont know much about Saunders.

Yes ATI was great in the begining... but after knowing the content it started to get a little ify...Im starting to really get focused and get my head in the game! Last day of studying with a kaplan practice test tonight then Im set to PASS this!!! Lord willing!!

Good Luck to you! I sat for my exam this morning after completing 100% (though I had 111 ?s left) of the Qbank and all 7 Question Trainers. My tested ended after 75 questions and a decent amount of SATA (I didn't count them b/c I felt like it would create unnecessary stress for me). I definitely know I had more than 10, LOL!

I definitely don't think you should study the night before--you need to give your mind a break, so that its fresh and ready for test day. Have confidence in yourself. You can do this, let us know how it goes!!

This has ALWAYS been a rule of thumb for me for any of my exams...throughout nursing and beyond! No questions the day before the exam and get lots of rest the night before. A well rested mind does well!
