Hi guys...I'm taking my NCLEX tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. I have been studying for about a month and a half now and I finished school back in December, so I feel like I'm a little rusty.
I used Kaplan and did 100% of the Qbank, did the two sample tests, the priorities test and the alternate format test. I also did all 7 trainers. Reviewed all rationales for every single question. My average score is about 65.
I also purchased the HURST review because since I was out of school since December, I needed a content refresher. I watched all of the videos and filled in all of the handouts they provided. I did 5 of the 6 Qreview exams. My average number right was about 80.
I signed up for UWorld a couple of days ago thinking I would do questions from there the days before my exam, but I have just not had time.
Today I am still reviewing....gave myself a cut off time of 2:30 because I am getting a massage at 3 pm to help me relax. I plan on going over the notes that I took from the rationales and reviewing some meds because that, along with the SATA are my weak points. I am also going to look over lab values once last time because I get them easily confused.
I am SO NERVOUS. I feel like I haven't done enough...like I should have studied longer, reviewed more...I already signed a contract to start a nurse residency program next month and it is contingent on me passing my boards, so if I don't pass...obviously no job. So much pressure and so much stress!
Any last minute tips, suggestions, hints, advice that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
Good luck!! You have this in the bag, you seem extremely ready! Im preparing to take my test in december..i also have heard great things about hurst review..i think i will definitely give them a try!!
