Eliminate expected findings. Are the remaining answer options referring to airway, breathing, or circulation ABCs? Eliminate each non-priority answer option using the ABCs. Are the remaining answers options referring to acute or chronic situations? Eliminate the chronic situation answer options.
Are the remaining answer options real actual or potential problems? Eliminate the potential problem answer options. Look at each answer option that remains and ask, what outcome do you want for this client? Does this answer option make sense in this situation? If yes, keep this answer option. Will this answer option help the client? Will this answer option hurt the client? If yes, eliminate this answer option.

Spacing out study makes it stick. Each day of the last 2 weeks should be intentionally planned out in detail. Devote 4 hours to test taking practice and 2 hours to review of the test results, including content remediation. It's not about the hours you put in, it's about how you use them. This is one exam you can absolutely not cram for — the NCLEX is a holistic test model that aims to test knowledge gained over the course of years, not days.
The CPR is an individualized document that shows how a candidate performed in each of the test plan content areas. Candidates who fail the exam can use the CPR as a guide to prepare them to retake the exam.
Time after graduation. The time you wait after graduation can have an impact on how well you perform on the exam. Studies have shown that the highest success on NCLEX is achieved when it is taken within 60 days of the last course instruction.
Within thatwindow is best. At first,you'll be hesitant to perform the PVT but if you've already passed why stress about it? It shows how the candidate performed in each of the test plan content area. If you fail , you can use the CPR as a guide to prepare to retake the exam. Dress Comfortably You're required to leave hats, scarves, gloves and coats outside of the testing room. If your final score places you above the passing threshold, then you passed, and if not, then you failed. Getting drawn out to questions can mean multiple things, which leads us to the next question.
No matter how much it helps you concentrate, don't practice while chewing gum and listening to music — after all, both gum and headphones are prohibited. To ensure complete content coverage, all RN candidates will answer a minimum of 75 and a maximum of test questions. Okay… the last three are more optional, but strongly suggested. You bought your spiral notebooks, review manual, and gel pens, your apps are cued, your study schedule is written down or built within Picmonic , jammies are on, the dog is walked and Meredith wants Derek to pick, choose and love her.
Repetition, my friend. This, and focusing on active forms of studying. Repetition meaning content and practice questions this is where an NCLEX review manual or course comes in handy. When studying for the NCLEX , a good idea is to set a practice question goal for yourself to observe and answer a certain amount of questions before exam day.
We recommend that you complete about 2, practice questions before your exam. If you are giving yourself a month to study, that means that you would be doing about NCLEX practice questions per day.
Schedule time in your study schedule to do these questions; an example would be to even divide the questions to do 50 questions in the morning and 50 questions in the afternoon. Make sure you account for the amount of time it takes to review questions that you are getting incorrect. Pssst…our Picmonic Study Planner gives you an organized time breakdown day-by-day to do this!
Unless you have ice water running through your veins as parachuted into the testing center, then you will have a respectable amount of NCLEX anxiety. The good news is: you can prepare now to decrease and manage your test anxiety! First, if you know your test anxiety will be a significant challenge based on your previous experiences with it , then making a plan to address this anxiety is very important!
Getting plenty of sleep, eating a nutritious meal prior to, and avoiding too much caffeine will focus your mind and keep the nervous energy at bay. Most importantly, the outcome of the test does not relate to your value as a person or nurse. A resounding YES! But the level of difficulty is relative to each and every future nurse taking the NCLEX, so do not be deterred! Remember, if you go in prepared, the less of an uphill battle it will be.
Now if you recall, there are just two outcomes to your test: pass or fail. Either way, you will be done with the NCLEX a feat in itself , so ensure you have a post-recovery plan involving some much-needed self-love and appreciation. Memento mori. If you are reading this after the fact, then no, it was not. You are still here, and you are still capable of becoming a nurse. So, scream into the yawning abyss, cry until you reach an osmolar imbalance, drink water LOL until you are peeing on the hour, and then plan.
