When is you examination? On my last day before the exam, I went to the church early in the morning PRAY and talk to him that I will try my very best.. then after that I took the breakfast and bought some food and make sure that I have enough food for the whole day until the following day which is my exam day.. I read those questions topics that I think I'm having some difficulty.. My tips is to read and review your Delegation, Prioritization specially your Infection control... these topics belongs to the difficult question...

Your guide that you're passing is if you encountered a question like priritization followed by SATA... SATA is your key if you got a lot of SATA no need to worry you PASS the exam... If you got all the basic nursing knowledge question it means you're not getting the right answer... But stay focus... and Pray and take your time....

God bless.. pls let me know the outcome.. and follow my advice...

I dont know when is your big day, but I am taking it the 3rd time too and its going to be on December 16th. Well what I have heard from the people here is to relax the last day before exam. By that time you have studied enought. Take plenty of rest, have a good balanced breakfast that day, and arrive 30 minutes early. Tell yourself I will knock this monster off this time. Good luck.

Hey! I passed my THIRD time on Nov. 18th 09...Think Positive...make sure and breathe during the test. I got all 265 questions and it took 4 hours...I didn't take a break..but I would recommend you do just to stretch. Read each question twice......look for key terms.....don't second guess yourself. Relax. Go out to eat when you are done. Take your mind off of it somehow...I came out thinking okay did I get more right than wrong....I felt good about it, but I still didn't know if I passed until I found out on quick results. NEVER GIVE UP...you can take it over. PRAY during it..it helps..If you get frustrated, don't just pick an answer...TAKE YOUR TIME...

I just took my Nclex and I was mortified. I did pass but I felt stupid while taking it. This is what I followed

ABCs in the priority questions, always go AIRWAY first, BREATHING next, followed by CIRCULATION. Now if all four answers have AIRWAY in it, then go with the one that would be the most dangerous. In psych, remember safety of all is important, even you! Medication, well thats just memorizing all of that crap. Just relax, take your time and follow your instincts! Good Luck
