I PASSED THE NCLEX!!!!!!!1
Study Strategy posted Feb 28 by npl25 in My Study Strategy public

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that I took my NCLEX in GA on Tuesday Feb 23rd and found out Thursday Feb 25th that I PASSED!!!!! This was my second time taking it and I know this tutorial played a huge part in my success next to praying and some really great nursing friends who also helped me study. Stay focused and positive, you can do it!!! If you do nothing else with this tutorial, at the very least complete every practice test. Read the rationales when you get the questions wrong and make sure you understand why you missed the question. Also make sure you read the rationales even when you do answer the question correctly. This is a great way to study. Dont panic when the test does not shut off at 75 questions for you. I got 234 questions the first time and 222 questions the second time and PASSED!!! Pace yourself and please, PLEASE, take breaks during the NCLEX exam. You might be surprised how a quick bathroom break, a snack and a drink of water can refresh your mind during a high stress situation like the NCLEX. Make sure you study and know your lab values and read the questions carefully. You can do it!!! You are intelligent, you made it through nursing school, and you will get your license. Best of luck to all of you.

NCLEX Prep...2

Hello everyone,

This is how I prepared for NCLEX and hope it's helpful for someone:

1. Practice as many NCLEX ( analysis/application) type questions as possible b/c these questions test your critical thinkings skills which is what you need in order to pass the NCLEX.

2. Use as many resources as you can e.g. (Saunders, Mosby, Exam cram, NCLEX 3500, NCSBN online review)....once you practice questions, then review the sections that you scored lowest in with a content review book like Saunders (it's really helpful).

3. Set out a study plan and stick to it: Make a goal to complete about a 100-200 questions a day for about a good 2 months or whatever's comfortable for you. NO matter what, do not put off studying, stick to it, make sacrifices b/c it will truly be worth it once you get that RN license....the more you practice answering and using your critical thinking skills, the better chances you have at passing...also, make sure to review the rationales of correct and incorrect answers, it serves as a good study guide...and make sure to stay AWAY from negative people b/c that will only hurt your focus...

4. In summary: study smart and work hard, stay committed, be positive, keep praying... and give your absolute best and you will be successful....God bless to you all!!!

PRAY AND HARDWORK WILL BEAR SUCCESS

HI.. i'm one of those successful students of NCSBN learning extension who ended up passing the NCLEX just last December 12 only. Before, i have the same feeling as yours, and i think its normal just what Ms. Andrea have said to feel like that, especially when you started your review and plan to take NCLEX. The anxiety level is very high. I, myself, can prove it right also!
- I can only advice you things which I made it, and passed the exam. First, I make a PLAN for my review, and stick to it! No matter what happen, I see to it that I achieve my everyday goal.
- Exercise with proper diet also helped. if the mind and the body will work together will provide good results.
- I sacrificed a lot! sacrifice in going out for movies, going out with friends, doing my favorite pastime, etc. I sacrificed all of these within 2 months. and I only FOCUS on NCLEX review. I made my review as a hobby anyway, and have a daily target of test results. I started out at 20/75 questions, so disappointed and so scared like you. But as days passing by, I began to contemplate on how to deal with questions with everyday practice.... as in everyday practice questions. DO NOT STOP! push yourself until u get the score what you want. Dream on!
- Then try to relax as the NCLEX exam date is getting nearer, CRAMMING and RUSH REVIEWS will not help you anyway. Be sure, 1 week before your NCLEX exam, you should be relax already and have again a plan of relaxing activities.
- AND LASTLY, PRAY and MEDITATE! THIS WILL HELP YOU TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS. Prayers are helpful not only in exams but in our everyday lives. Remember that!
NCLEX e-LEARNING review helped me a lot and I owe a lot from this, especially to the staffs and MS. ANDREA who guided me till I succeed. THANK YOU GUYS and GODBLESS!

For me, this review helped me the most, it was the only review that I did... I also done practice questions from a book that i had bought during nursing school to help me learn how to answer the questions better... What worked for me?- practice questions! also reviewing subjects that i knew i had trouble with i also thought back through nursing school which subjects did i do the good and not so good, and focused on what i didnt do so good... the practice questions helped me so much! My dreams have finally came true, thanks to this website and to all the instructors and other students who helped me... God bless you all... I wish you all the best!
