Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

hi guys taking nclex 1st week on march....just wondering....will 3 weeks be enough to study...my kaplan expired before even my approval to take the exam so no i only have the saunders book edition 4 plus the cd....will 3 weeks be enough? does anyone have a study plan that they can share? thanks guys !!! :confused: :redbeathe :up:

MORE than enough!! I studied for 1.5 wks for about 3hrs per day and had zero problem passing it. All I did was practice test questions from Saunders and Kaplan. You'll be fine. I think you can get to the point were you over-study and start forgetting things that are simple thus making all the studying completely pointless.

It is not about the amount of hours/wks you study but how effective you are with your study time.

now this is an encouragement thanks!!! so you just took practice questions? how about content? a book?

No matter how much you study you can't possibly know everything on the test. I put in some major study time and there were things on my NCLEX that, when I read the question, I thought "Shoot! I should have looked that over!". Do what you can...use your critical thinking...review test taking strategies...review your content...answer lots of questions and read ALL the rationales. GOOD LUCK!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
