I had a lot of SATA (maybe 20 or more), drag and drop (maybe 10), 6-7 ekg's, TONs of meds and prioritization.. i was really anxious since last week but by the time I'm in the testing center, I just took a deep breath and thought that I WILL BE AN RN in at least 5 hours. I never thought of stopping at 75. My goal was to finish everything before the time ends.
For my preparation, I took a review class here in Chicago. I needed it since I graduated last 2008. After my review, I will go to the library to read about the certain system we had earlier. And at home, I do the practice quiz in saunders comperehensive (the 10 item quiz). I never took the 100 items because I want to read the rationale immediately. My review class lasted for 12 days, and I had 2-3 weeks for my self review. THE ONE THING THAT REALLY HELPED ME WAS THE KAPLAN RN STRATEGIES BOOK. I read it from page to page and surprisingly, there were some items there that really went out in my test.
And lastly, PRAYERS.. I prayed the novena for st. joseph cupertino and sto. nino de cebu for 9 straight days. I guess, that's what made me pass. PRAYER.
