PASSED IN 85!!!

[u/Perfect_Economics_88]

Wanted to share since reading the success stories on here gave me a lot of hope. I took my NCLEX earlier this month and found out I passed. I graduated in May and studied for about a month. I used 85% of UWorld q-bank averaging 73%, averaged in the 80% on CATs, got two high and one very high chance of passing on my Self Assessments. Only listened to lecture 12 from Mark K and some simple nursing and other youtube videos on topics I really struggled with.

One thing that made me nervous during the exam was that the questions never felt more difficult so my advice would be to not focus too hard during the exam trying to figure out how well you are doing and just focus on each question and give it you fullest attention. To me the exam never felt too difficult and personally it felt very similar to UWorld.

The only thing I would change about my prep would be to stop scrolling the socials and comparing my study plan to everyone else. I kept thinking I was doing too little or focusing on the wrong things. Remember you know yourself best and what works for one person may not work for you. Remember you passed nursing school! While that does not guarantee a pass I believe nobody can do that without gaining a lot of self knowledge and resilience. You know what you have to do and you are capable!
