This is my 4th time taking the NCLEX. After using UWorld for the FIRST TIME, I PASSED with 85 questions. I had 10+ SATAs, 5+ drop down type of question, 5+ EKG strip questions, NO CALCULATIONS (thank GOD), a lot of PRIORITIZATIONS. I took the NCLEX on 06/21/2018 and got my congratulatory mail exactly a week later.
They said to read and research about your opponent, so I did. I read and did my research about HOW the NCLEX works. I also read Lippincott and Saunders and understood the content, then I purchased UWorld for questions and answers. I read the rationales and understood them and wrote them down(writing them down helps me memorize it more). I purchased the 3 months, so that I am not pressured with studying.
I studied 30-40 questions ONLY a day(tutor mode and no timer)
Read the rationales and understood them and asked myself WHY IS THAT THE ANSWER (it works)
I went to the library and studied for 5 hours (don't study more than that, nothing will stick in your head)
I read a little bit of my notes at NIGHT before I sleep, it helps you remember especially the last thing that you read or see.
I PRAYED daily as well
It takes a lot of sacrifice and NO DISTRACTIONS PLEASE!
I told my friends that I will study and hang out with them after I take the NCLEX because I almost lost hope.
This is my 4th try and I thank GOD and MY HUSBAND for his support
Study SMART and you guys will PASS it too
THANK YOU, UWORLD
