Taking NCLEX July 17!!!

Jack_ICU · Jul 1, 2008

I am taking the NCLEX on July 17. Surprisingly I feel no pressure or anxiety at all! It worries me b/c I feel like I should have some sense of urgency and get in the "high" studying mode. Believe me! I study everyday, I have all kind of books and software you can imagine, and I am taking the NCSBN Nclex online review. I know my weak areas, I do 80-100 questions daily (65-75% average), and I am reviewing rationales of missed questions. For some reasons I feel like something is missing...

Anyone to suggest a better approach to help me adopt a "sense of urgency before the test?

Thanks...

I think we all feel as though something is missing because we know we will never be able to answer all the questions correctly yet we strive to know as much as possible. We all feel as though we could know more, do more and be prepared just a little more. But from what I have been reading on these threads, it seems as if you will never feel ready.

Anyway, if you are only doing 80 questions I suggest you increase that number up a little more. I hear kaplan advices doing about 100-150 a day, and Suzanne from the "Suzanne plan" says to avergae about 4500 before you test.

Regarding your lack of anxiety, everyone is different some feel it and some don't. But that is no indication of their 'seriousness' level.

Good luck
