Taking Nclex July 15

dd40 · Jul 20, 2016

I used Kaplan. Our school pays for it. I think its a good program. I am working with my IP, so I feel like I have not been able to study like I normally would. I scored 68.3 on the readiness test and in the 54-65 percent range on trainers. Mostly just did questions and re-mediated. I also looked over the 35 pg study guide on here.

I'm also using only Kaplan! Do you think it prepared you enough for the sata questions and priority?

I hope so...I just did the PVT and got the good pop up. I will keep you posted kookie100 :). Praying that I passed. In nursing school our tests had a lot of SATAS. I did well on those, because I studied in depth for the specific test, but I feel like there is too much to know for the NCLEX to be great at SATAs. I can only hope that I was answering them correctly. I had at least 35-40 SATAs As for the prioritization, I used the Kaplan decsion tree Stable Vs. Unstable and Expected vs Unexpected.

@kookie100. When do you take your exam?

lauradsvc911 · Jul 20, 2016

yes IT IS POSITIVE> PVT CAN ONLY BE WRONG "SOMETIMES" with the bad pop up not with the GOOD

lauradsvc911 · Jul 20, 2016

JUST STUDY WELL ALL RATIONALES

all you need is la charity and UWORLD

Hi! May I know what state you are? You said you have a bad pop up but you passed. I'm sooo nervous coz I have a bad pop up too. I was hoping you could answer me if it was really a bad pop up or you didn't submit the order. :) thanks in advance!

I'm in Texas. I never got the message saying they were unable the schedule a new exam (the "good" pop up). Instead it would have charged my card had the availability been there...

The PVT trick does work! I found out yesterday morning I passed!!!! I think Kaplan does help prepare you, with all the questions. and rationals. I found NCLEX questions to be less difficult than Kaplan. I have also heard very good things about Uworld and LaCharity, but mostly from here. Everyone I know uses Kaplan and passes. Just do the questions and read all the rationals Kookie. My girlfriend also gave me a 100 page study guide I can email you if you message me your email address. I looked it over for about 3 hours the day before the test in addition to the study guide here. Hang in there! You will be an RN soon!!!

Dd40 wow congratulations!!! That is great to hear!!! I am mostly using Kaplan and I will probably do only a little bit of Uworld because my exam is not to far from now to finish a lot of Uworld so it's mostly Kaplan for me ! An that would be great it's [email protected]
