Bon use this number 1(800) 838-6828
Okay so I just tested (currently 2:47pm) this morning (8am).
I graduated in December 2015. I was a decent student, I graduated with a 3.65/4.00 gpa, but I didn't just get good grades like the rest.
I HAD TO STUDY HARD! According to my ATI predictor score (a proctored exam administered to all graduating seniors, counted
as 10% of our overall grade in a course), I had a 91% chance of passing the boards had I sat for it that day. I was neither here nor
there about the predictor grade honestly. 91% just wasn't good enough for me, there was still a 9% chance it could go the other way! I
applied to BON sometime in December and then to PV on Jan. 5th. My school swears by ATI and mandated we attend the 3-Day live
review, or they wouldn't send out our paperwork.
After attending the ATI live review, I felt completely LOST
HERE IS HOW I STUDIED:
KAPLAN Q-BANK 1-MONTH subscription (which is due to expire Feb.11,2016):
A lot of my classmates purchased the entire course for $375-475 (don't quote me), but I just didn't want to. I have a way of processing
information that has worked for me thus far so I decided to stick with it. I didn't feel like now was the time to start picking up new
habits.
I did all of the questions (1400+). My very first set of questions I scored 56% (50 questions). Once again I felt LOST. I kept with
it! I got a spiral notebook and began to write down every single piece of content I got incorrect. I'd do sets of 5,10 and 20 questions
to build my confidence. Jan.21 I recieved my ATT and decided to ONLY do sets of 75 until I completed the entire Q-Bank. I also
made note after each set of which content areas I scored very low/below 60%
My scores doing sets of 75:
1- 60 %
2- 73 %
3- 63 %
4- 55 %
5- 49 %
6- 63 %
7- 67 %
8- 67 %
9- 63 %
10- 61 %
11- 63 %
12- 57 %
13- 65 %
14- 68 %
15- 71 %
16- 59 % (night before exam)
Also, after every set, I would also go back and select all categories and do 30-40 incorrect.
PREP-U NCLEX-RN 10,000 (thepoint.lww.com):
This was mandated in one of my courses. We had to do 2000 questions and average above a level 4 and 80% to get full credit in our
grade. I used this site to strengthen my weak areas. The content areas (Mgt of care, safety, health promo, etc.) I noted were my weak
points on Kaplan, I came to this site and did sets of questions in those particular areas. I did a total of 2,650 on this site (technically
only 650 after I graduated) and averaged at a 5.20 mastery level.
OTHERS:
Saunders: for brief content review. Their question bank also gave me the option to do SATA only questions, which I needed!!
THE 35 PAGE BIBLE: it is floating around here on this site. Its a read, but a WELL WORTH read!! So please take my advice and
READ it. I read it 3 maybe 4 times since I got it and one last time in my uber ride to the testing site.
MY BOTTOM LINE ADVICE:
I have stalked this site just as much as the rest. Many people say don't waste your time with content just do questions. I do not
completely agree with that method. I say, If you do questions over and over and keep getting the same content wrong OVER AND
OVER. Remediate!! Go back and look at what you aren't understanding.
