I took NCLEX today and wow, what a stressful day.
First, I took the wrong exit and got caught up in traffic from a wreck and I was LATE! I was about to have a full out panic attack thinking that I would lose my money since the papers say if you aren't there for ANY REASON, it's too bad, so sad. I flew into a 2 hour parking spot and practically ran to the building. But when I got there, no one said a word about my tardiness. Just took my ATT and ID and about a hundred sets of fingerprints and palm prints.
I got 75 questions. Several SATA, 2 drag and drop, a ton of priority questions and several questions on one topic that we did NOT learn about in nursing school but luckily I knew about it through my preparations. It wasn't what I expected. I expected more in depth questions!
It took me less than an hour to do the questions and as soon as I finished, I drove across town to the Barnes & Noble to do the PVT but it was too early. So, I drove 2 hours home and... I GOT THE GOOD POP UP! I'm not announcing anything, though, until I get the official.
Good luck to those of you who are coming up!
I took the 75 q's test to start off. Then I focused on the "study mode" to get all the question. I read the rationales and really focused my energy on the questions that I kept getting wrong.
But really overall, I believe that if I hadn't read those saunder's review chapters I wouldn't have got as many correct answers on the study portion.

What I did was put the CD in practice or quiz or whatever it's called. Not test mode. I did about 2500 of the questions over time. I'd answer it, then click on rationale and read that. Then, I took notes from whatever the rationale said and that is how I ended up with 50 pages of notes!
