For some study and testing tips and a rating of how different resources compare in difficulty to the actual NCLEX-RN, see https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/review-nclex-rn-607853.html and https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/passed-1st-time-601909.html

Hope those help some.

Remember, you have plenty of time to take the exam. You do not have to even finish all 265 (if you even got the full number of questions) in 6 hrs. If you do not finish, the computer will determine passing on the average difficulty of the last 60 questions. So really, you have 6 hrs to do at least 75 questions (15 are questions they are trying out for future tests and they don't count toward your result).

Download the tutorial ahead of time from the Pearson Vue website, it will help you to see the exact format before you even go in there. You have to do that very same tutorial at the beginning of the NCLEX, it will help you relax if you've already seen that much.

Once the test starts, take your time. When you get something that you think, yikes, I don't know! Don't panic, don't just pick something and go to the next question. Take a deep breath, pray. Then read the question and answer options again. Look for clues, the abnormal thing, one that doesn't fit. You have time, so if you need to, take another deep breath and read it again before choosing an answer.

All the best to all of you!
