WOO passed just found out i passed NCLEX

[xnova5]

so after waiting 46 days i just got my notification that i passed nclex. i thought i surely failed since my test stopped at 85 and today i got a small envelope in the mail instead of the 8x11 i have heard about. my questions were mostly infection control and i studied for a whole month straight sun up to sundown.

if anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

originally i was kind of lingering/lurking around studying i wasnt really doing anything but i knew i had to set up a date to really study so i set up an appointment to test a month from the day i planned to study and the whole time i used that as my inspiration. during this time i was studying about 300-400 questions a day at first it was very hard to study but with time it was very easy to do a few 100 questions. i studied saunders, lippincot, and prentice hall. i first used Lippincot (the easy one) for some confidence and simple test taking skills, then moved up to saunders (a bit harder) until i was getting 80's then for the remainder of the week before nclex i started using prentice hall (very hard) and still managed to get 80% on it.

by the end of my studying i was not using lippincot at all since i was getting consistent 90%'s and used saunders for about 80% of the questions and prentice hall for 20% of my daily questions.

i would have to say that the test really felt like prentice hall, but not as hard. i think that out of all the study material saunders helped me the most if i studied using only lippincot i would have failed for sure. i feel that prentice really helped me become better at choosing the right answer but i still feel that it alone would not have helped me pass the NCLEX. prentice hall seems to have a longer learning curve and the scores you get with it are very discouraging which is why i used it to study later on. i feel that confidence plays a big part in passing.
