Hello friends ... I want to tell you that I m preparing for nclex since months but still feel incomplete. Now I have just two weeks remaining. Need to know how much I'm doing ok to go and give the test and wat should I do to improve can anybody help me?
I did hurst: I did three tests n my scores r 75 , 80 & 84 respectively out of 125 .
M reviewing ATI book also but have to take an ati predictor test... Will let you know the results soon...
Saunders assessment test I scored 70%
kaplan q trainers my scores are very low and that scares me: they are
q trainer 1 52%
q trainer 2 62%
qtrainer 3 49%
have to do the rest...
can anybody tell me how to wisely utilize these two weeks I don't mind studying 12 hours a day. A detailed study schedule if possible. Am I doing fine so far???
After using Kaplan, scoring low, freaked me out...I waited a year after graduating to feel prepared for the NCLEX. You know what I never felt prepared. I just decided to take it. I passed the NCLEX with 75 questions!! Those Kaplan questions are harder than the NCLEX questions. I recommend taking a day off from studying, relax, then start by rereading questions you missed. Write them down then type them up. It will strengthen your weak subjects areas. Then study lab values and EKG strips within days of the test. That's what I did and I did just fine. I hope you can do the same. Good luck!
I agree with ATI being the worst. Used it through Nursing school and not one of us found it useful. Of course, everyone is different, but I've heard more bad about ATI than good.
PS: I CANNOT emphasize enough, STUDY infection control and priorty (ex: who would you see first... which order would a nurse need to clarify...) Besides SATA, most of my test was on that.
Su Jas,
The more you worry it's going to effect you on the day of your test.
When you read rationales, look for why you got the answers wrong. For me, I usually read it too fast or didn't understand what the question is asking. Go ahead and do Q-Trainer 7 and then remaining days focus on revising lab values. If you have any questions on the trainers, let me know. I can try to help. Anyways, keeping you in prayers. You can do this! :)
