Hi guys! i can finally post that I passed the NCLEX here. this subreddit has been my go to in-terms of asking processing related questions and preparations for NCLEX, so i wanted to share mine also.

i used Kaplan for almost 3 months since yun yung sponsored ng company namin. ok naman sya i guess? siguro 7/10 yung help niya sakin. madami silang qbanks and gusto ko yung mga ratio nila. madami din lectures for supplementals.

dr. sharon and mark klimek- helped me in test taking strategies. i recommend it pag tinatamad na mag answer ng questions lol.

next is the NAXLEX 2 week trial. 1 week ko lang sya nagamit since late ko na nalaman sched ng exam ko. super similar ng interface niya sa NCLEX thats why di qko nahirapan mag familiarize. gave me confidence boost also since almost puro Very High scores ko. really recommend it.

the ACTUAL test tho, it was really, really hard for me. i was so demotivated after the exam since feel ko nanghula lang ako mostly sa mga standalones and SATAS, and yung ibang case studies (heart failure lang nadalian ako lol). ibang iba yung level ng difficulty niya sa lahat ng qbanks na natry ko, even NAXLEX nadalian ako e, so i was really surprised ma puro mahihirap na questions napunta sakin. namali ko pa nga yung pang #85 na question lol. basta it was really vague and most of the conditions and meds na napunta sakin is mga rare and di ko pa narinig before so im really wondering pano ko pumasa 😭

tips:

-i know its obvious but please drink water before the exam 😭 my mouth was so dry nadistract tuloy ako huhu

-read the question or case AGAIN before clicking next. I DIDNT DO THIS and this is the reason bat ako nagkamali sa mga sagot ko. always connect your answer to your question

-wag niyo super agahan ang punta. atleast 1 hour na lang. 3 hours early ako lol cos someone told me papayag naman daw, they didnt so nakatulala ako ng 2 hours, waiting.

-priority= unexpected assessment. watch dr. sharon vids, it helped me kahit papano sa pag answer

-dont overselect SATA. i underselected mostly. 7 options pero yung 1 lang na sure pinipili ko, so i guess it worked?

anyways guys its really true na its normal to feel na you failed, because siguro na sense ng computer na above average yung kaya mong sagutan. super torturing waiting for the quick results, but i suggest wag na kayo magsearch unlike ginawa ko lol, just pray and meditate.

if ever may question kayo guys, please drop them below. i will answer it as fast as i can.

Thank you Lord, USRN na ko!🇺🇸
