Everyday before i began studying, I would read through everyone's stories on here about how they passed the NCLEX. I did at least 75 questions per day with all categories selected. My school offered ATI but I wasn't a huge fan so I only used uworld exclusively besides the 3 day live review ATI offered. My first assessment I got very high chance of passing, and my second assessment I got high chance of passing. I took my NCLEX about 2 months after graduation (July 19th). The NCLEX didn't seem as challenging as I thought it would be. I think Uworld questions are more challenging if I'm being honest. I finished it a little more than an hour after I started. I also had a 35 page study guide that somebody posted in the forum here which helped me remember little things such as precautions (contact, droplet, airborne, etc.) I finished the question bank on here and even started going over the questions that I missed. I think that it's really important you read the rationales thoroughly and take notes on the things you don't know as well. The day before the NCLEX I didn't do much of studying, I relaxed (as much as I could) and tried to get a good night of sleep. Once I actually sat down in front of the computer, I wasn't nervous anymore and focused on the questions. I think since uworld closely replicates the NCLEX, I felt more comfortable during the NCLEX. I also turned off my question numbers during the exam so I wasn't focused on what number question I was on. I would occasionally check, but for the most part I didn't pay attention and it made me focus on the actual question more. I turned it on at 72, and sure enough after 3 more questions, the exam ended. I never thought I would be one to pass in 75 questions. Uworld is worth every penny!
