, last edited December 21, 2011Paid for 3 weeks. Did the diagnostic test yesterday. Got 69% while watching tv. Took the whole day to do the diagnostic test. That's bad of me. Was probably burnt out from school. Will review today and complete the first lesson. Stay tunned for my progress today. Will take the nclex on Aug 27.

Within the past 3 months, I have completed the following. Hope to maximize my probability for passing the nclex later on this month. Finished Kaplan Qbank questions. Still have question trainer 6 and 7 left to do. Finished about 7-8 study mode questions (100 questions each) from Saunders. Did 265 questions from Hogan's Comprehensive NCLEX-RN yesterday. Completed 100 questions this Tues morning from the NCSBN post tests. Still getting a wide range of percentages (45%-70%). Havent quite reached the 75% mark yet.

I'm telling ya, it's so addictive to do questions. I'm seeing some patterns or the same group of questions asked by ATI, Kaplan, Saunders and NCSBN. They are just worded differently but the ultimate answers are the same. It's comforting for me to reach this level and see that it may help me on the exam in 3 weeks. Today I did 135 questions from ATI on maternal stuff, 60 ATI questions on fundamentals, 100 questions from NCSBN post tests (that's 5 post tests of 20 questions each). I must say that NCSBN questions are really intense. They drive me crazy. The answers are not straightforward. Wanted to rip out my hair as I am reading each answer. I think it's definitely worth my $50 for the three weeks. It seems like all the answer choices are appropriate but only one is the ultimate answer. Kinda cool to challenge my mind this way.

Please don't pull your hair out! But I'm glad that you are feeling challeged by the course. You all will do great on the exam. You're dedicated and that will pay out! Best of luck to all :)

Ok here's my progress for today. Just finished reviewing what I did today. 180 questions from Kaplan. 105 NCSBN questions. I've completed all the post tests. Got and 85% on post test 6, 65% on post test 7 and then a stinky 40% on post test 8. Got a 59% on 180 questions from Kaplan. I think I"m brain dead now.

Counting down to my test day...after tomorrow, I have exactly 2 weeks left. Today I completed 105 NCSBN questions. They were really hard but I learned a lot. I think the only easy test so far from NCSBN was the post test #6. It was not challenging at all. You only had to recall information you learned. Well, I also did 120 ATI questions (endocrine - stinky 47%, cardio-73%, F&E-70%, gastro sections). I also completed 75 assessment questions from Saunders and got 66% there.
When I approached each question, what really helped me was to tell myself in phrase what is the message here. If I can identify what they are trying to test me, I can pretty much pick out the answer prior to reading the answer choices. So much for me to say when I am still getting scores in the 40's. :-)

120 NCSBN questions (completed Q/A #1, #2, #3) and 150 Lippincott questions. Lippincott questions are not straightforward. Very challenging there. Time for bed.
