Took the test this A.M.

I took the exam this afternoon too, and I completely agree with you. Mine shut off at 75 and I got 6 select all that applys (they were the only new style questions I got)...I'm taking that as a good sign, means that I was testing at a higher level (i think!). No calculations though, which I'm a little bummed about, those are always freebies!

Definitely a lot of prioritization (who to check on first and which med to give first) and policy questions (confidentiality and infection control)....wasn't nearly as bad as I thought, we will see on Wednesday!

From the look of things,the two of you will make it.You've done your part.God will complete the remaining.Goodluck.

Phab--

I was bummed to have no calculations as well-- I agree that they are freebies!!!!! Does the pearson vue site always go down at night? It's unreachable. I figured with only 75 questions my test would be easy to "doublecheck" and there was a remote possibility it might be up tonight. No such luck if the site is down. Thank God I'm working the next couple of nights or I'd be home researching every question I can remember...

Azor-

Thanks for the good wishes. Let's hope it works out ok!

LoL...I've been checking the NY State BON website all day to see if I *might* have a license number already...I'm not generally someone who gets too worked up and anxious about things, but I really don't like waiting for this! Can you imagine what torture it was before online capabilities allowed for them to post results so quickly? I think before it was like 6 weeks, I would die!

From the look of things,the two of you will make it.You've done your part.God will complete the remaining.Goodluck.

That was a good quote. I like that "You done your part. God will complete the remaining." Those words I will keep in mind everyday. Thanks for writing that, Azor!

Still waiting for the results to be posted and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet... everyone at work was really comforting saying "oh, I'm sure you passed..." but you get this little pit in your stomach like, oh no, what if I didn't and...

I felt more confident leaving the test than I do now. I'm glad I posted when I came home... cause right now I feel like there's a good chance I picked the wrong answer on all of my questions!!!

I look forward to hearing everyone passed today or tomorrow...

Are you referring to the Prioritization/Delegation book that has these type questions by content area?

My test is exactly a week from today on 8/7 and I got this book last week after reading posts here that it was helpful. I hope so !

I have studied content area. Am just doing these priority questions this week, reviewing Med/Surg, and medications. I don't know what else to do to be prepared. I can't wait until it is over !

kim we;re in the same boat..i take mine in exactly one week as well and im focusing on finishing my qbank q's and then reviewing my kaplan book.

for those that have take the nclex----would u say that the questions are similar to the qbank/qtrainer questions?? harder? MUCH harder??

ONE MORE WEEK....

hey girls,

That 250 alt question book was definitely helpful. Everyone's test is different but the material in there is very general and covers ALL areas (pedi, maternity, cardiac, renal, gi disorders, infection, etc) so it is an EXCELLENT review! Not so many priority questions in there-- mostly select all that apply and math for those who do happen to see some math on the test.

Still no word on whether I passed.

But as for my materials, I had a kaplan book but did not buy the questions or the classroom from Kaplan. If I had to retake it I think I would do the qbank and trainers from Kaplan.

I used Drexel's video course, Lippincott's alt questions, Lippincott's test questions with five 200 question practice tests, and a Saunders book with cd (didnt read any of the material in there- just did the questions on the cd). The first few weeks I reviewed videos about 1-2 hrs/day. Then I reviewed videos for about 1 hour/day and did 25-50 questions/day. Then for the last month I did 1-200 questions/day. Throughout the 2 months I did several 200 q practice tests to gauge where I was at. In the end, I did 5000 questions.

Still waiting on results... good luck to those who are still studying. Hang in there and keep it up! At this point, it feels good to have put my all into it no matter what the results are.

moetiny

I took NCLEX yesterday and I'd say the questions were similar to Kaplan question trainers but harder. the answers were not as simple or clear as Kaplan.

just keep studying! sure you'll do great :)

hi there, i wonder if u passed the nclex, have u? hope so.....

i am scheduled to take the exam in 2 weeks time.....I need prayers pls.

any secrets on what to do before the exam? my anxiety is severe now...

no answers yet, still waiting to hear...

the secret is probably to keep studying. i did review pharm very intensely for about 5-6 hours a week before the test. i felt like i got it that night. had never done that before (we didnt have a dedicated pharm class in school) and it seemed to come together. good luck!
