When to schedule exam

Published

Specializes in ICU.

Hi everyone,

I just graduated August 9th and began studying the day after.

We had to take Kaplan our final semester, so before graduation, I had already been through about 800 Qbank questions, all of the question trainers, diagnostic test, and readiness exam.

I also scored a 1001 on my final cumulative HESI.

When would be the best time to schedule my NCLEX? I am worried about scheduling it too soon, but also too late.

I was thinking first week in October to maybe mid-October.

I am also starting work full time on Monday.

What do you all think?

No, my school won't send everything in until the 26th, so I probably won't get it until beginning of September.

Hello!:bow:

Don't wait too Long. That is the mistake i made before. I took THE Exam Exactly 50 days after the last time I Failed. Don't Test Until You are Absolutely ready, However; Don't wait until You Have forgotten everything you have learned. Do it while it is Still Fresh In Your Mind. Hope this Helps.:jester:

For both my LPN and RN NCLEX I scheduled my test within 3 weeks of graduation. The studies I have read seem to indicate that the sooner you test after graduating the better the chances of passing the first time. Good luck!
