Nursing Students NCLEX

Anyone testing any time this week. I am going on monday.....and I am supper nervous. I feel like I can't study anymore! But every practice question I get wrong freaks me out. Any of you who just passed got any great advice???

Thanks

Hi! I just took mine on last week and here is my advice for ya!

Don't study the day before. Try to relax and think positive thoughts.

I was getting questions wrong, but that is normal. You learn from each one you get wrong!!

Schedule things to do after you take the test to keep you busy since the waiting is hard!

Good luck!

Do you know how you did???? Hopefully great. Everyone says not to study the day before, but I am afraid if I relax for one day then I will fail and it will all be because I didn't study that day.....I need to chill. I just can't wait for it to be over.

I passed with 75 questions. I did study the night before and I think it made me more anxious. I wish I hadn't. The knowledge is there in your head already. Just be confident that you can do it. Also, don't try to figure out the test while you are there. I kept doing that, too. I should have just taken it like any other test and I probably would have done the same.

Good luck!

I agree with breastfeedingRN. Do not study the day before. I had been studying right along and paying close attention to the rationales of the questions I was getting wrong. I gave myself a break the day before the exam by going out to lunch, watching a movie, and just doing some "relaxing stuff." I was still nervous and had anxiety while I was trying to focus on other things, but I figured I had been working hard all along so my poor brain really needed a break before the big day.

I took the exam and passed with 75 questions. I was still nervous when I went in to test, but once I sat down I felt a little more relaxed about it, refreshed, and prepared.

Do something nice for yourself the day before. Get a pedicure or a facial. Go get ice cream or treat yourself to some nice treat. You will be freaking out until you get your results, but give your mind and body a break from the stress for at least a few moments. Good luck to you and please keep us updated.

Thanks for the advise. I will let you know how it goes. Did you both find out your results useing the online service offered two days after the exam???

No, unfortunately for me my state doesn't participate in that. It took me 11 days of hell until I found out my results.
