Taking NCLEX this Monday!

Published

Hi,

I'm new to the forum. I just graduated with my ADN December 14th and trying to study for NCLEX. I did a 3 day ATI Review and also have been using a Saunders NCLEX CD. In doing the quizzes with the CD, I have been getting between 60%-80% correct overall. I only have 3 more days to study and I still don't feel prepared!!! What should I focus on? I do fine with multiple choice, but struggle with select all that apply. I'm just hoping that the majority of the questions are multiple choice. Any tips or advice? I also struggle with test anxiety... ugh.

I sure hope you're right! What's "Hurst" & "Kaplan" that people are using? Like I said, I just did the ATI live review (it was included in our tuition for ADN) and I borrowed the Saunders CD. Other than that, I've downloaded free apps on my phone and Kindle but some of those are useless. I'm not working at this time cuz I went PRN during school (&and never get called in...) so I have little money to spend on resources. Do those Hurst & Kaplan have free downloads?? I'm running out of time to study...hoping to make an entire day of it tomorrow (Fri) while kids are in school and hubby is at work.

Stay positive! Do not rush...read each question carefully. Take breaks, breathe, count to 20...do whatever you need to fight anxiety. I felt the same way 10 days before my exam. You got this!

Specializes in ED.

Hurst is a review course you can take, it's what I used. You'll never feel ready, you just have to accept that you graduated, which means your school feels you know enough to pass. I'm sure you will do fine! I had quite a few SATA questions and I was not happy, but I still passed.
