Taking the Nclex on Jan.9.. anxious

[littleone17]

Wow I am sooo glad that allnurses.com is finally "back in business" from a few days of undergoing maintenance. I was super anxious these past few days cus whenever I would go here I would receive a pop-up that this site was under maintenance and I couldn't keep in touch with you guys who understand me. Now I'm in relied lol.. My exam will be on Jan 9 2012. I have been practicing my Kaplan Qbank, I currently have a cumulative of 59% after doing 94% total qbank questions, and for me that's kinda low.. I am super anxious, reading all about meds this past week. Now I got only 1 and a half weeks to study. What would you guys recommend for the remaining review time? Is my Qbank score ok for me to pass NCLEX? I heard some say that lower than 60, you have a big chance of passing except you go all the way to 265 questions, is this for real? Comment me back friends I really missed you guys:)

Hello,

Good luck on your exam! I took my NCLEX yesterday morning and as of the night before that my question bank was a 58% overall at 100%, so I was nervous...but dont worry! Like I said I took my NCLEX yesterday morning and it shut off at 75 questions & Im getting the good pop up! :) You will do just fine! Again, good luck!

@littleone17 all the best and I do hope you pass, am doing mine on the 11th, just after you and am more than anxious, right now am just concentrating on kaplan book 2011-2012, saunders and the computer 3500..thats all. someone told me that cardiovascular is a very common topic in nclex so you may want to do alot of it too hun. Good luck, wish me too ha ha ha

I felt the same way so stressed before my exam.You will do it trust me NCLEX is not as hard as people blow it up to be,just take your time read the questions "which are straight to the point"!...

@tanyachlls: good luck to you too and God Bless :) we can do this, we just have to trust our instincts.. keep me updated k? take care

@graduate nurse w/BSN: this is my 2nd time actually.. the first time I took NCLEX I thought it was so hard because almost all the 4 answer choices looked correct. It's sad that I didn't know about Kaplan Review the first time around, I just used Saunders

Take some time away from the Qs. Exercise increases blood circulation throughout the body including to the brain. Kaplan Qs are harder than the exam Qs.
