1. Do not stop studying, no matter how comfortable you feel with the content.
2. Do yourself a favor and don't schedule your test in the morning. You will most likely be incredibly stressed out and get a small amount of sleep. You need to be alert and ready to take on the NCLEX challenge!
3. If your nursing program provides an NCLEX study course, take advantage of it! It not only will reinforce what you have learned but you will feel more comfortable and confident when the day comes.
4. Listen to your nursing instructors - **the amount of questions you get on the test does not dictate whether or not you pass!** In case you are not aware, you can get anywhere from 70 to 265 questions. I had friends who passed and only got 70 questions. I had friends who passed that had 100+ questions. I passed and had all 265 questions.
5. Most likely, you will feel like you failed. You didn't. Don't worry. :)
6. Listen to the advice given to you by your instructors...they've been through it before!
This will be one of the most difficult days in your nursing career. Good luck to all of you and please ask if you have any questions :)
