Taking test on 7/6 and VERY anxious

You made the right decision to move your test. I moved mine from the day after Fathers Day to the 28th then to the 30th. You'll never really feel ready for the test, but at some point you will need some sort of "barometer" to measure if your ready (ie Kaplan scores, etc).

I took mine for the second time this past Friday, 6/30 and just found out today I passed. Failed on 4/28 at 75 questions because I wasn't ready, spent 8 weeks committed to passing and passed Friday, 6/30 with 265!

Good luck! You can do it!!

I took the test early June, did Kaplan online finishing most of the practice quizzes and exams. Most of my scores were in the 60's. I booked a room at a hotel for a quiet night, I did 70 practice questions the night before, and I made sure I had at least 8 hours of solid sleep. Passed the NCLEX in 75 questions and felt confident going into the exam. Sit at the table, take a couple of breaths, and think about each questions but don't hang yourself up on one question for too long (there's going to be questions you flat out don't know, it's okay). Good luck!!

That really makes me feel better. I know that the NCLEX tests safety and knowledge/understanding, but I feel like being in the right state of mind is so crucial. I guess I need to just trust that I made the right decision.

I've heard Kaplan questions are a little harder than the actual NCLEX, so hopefully efforts will help me pass! Congrats on passing RNs!

You made the decision which is best for you, meaning that you know yourself well enough to understand how you function as a student. Do not stress about the number of questions you need to get through -- quality over quantity. You seem like a solid student and I think you will do just fine especially since you are taking care to manage your anxieties/mental state (that was crucial for me when I was a student). Keep confident, and I think you will be pleasantly surprised in the end.

Confidence is key here. Life came at me really hard here recently too. I took it on the 30th and I used the nclex mastery app and ATI practice tests to prepare the during the week of my nclex. I probably did around 300 practice questions in all bc I don't like overwhelming myself. I also went to quizlet and looked at some general review sets & looked up some mnemonics. I feel like as long as you keep your head high and believe in yourself then you'll be fine. I passed in 75. Good luck!!!

Good Luck!!!!!!

How did it go?

I passed with 75! Thank you so much for your support. It really calmed me down and helped me stay focused!!
