Passed in 86!
Did not pay for any nclex resources! My school used ATI, so I did some questions under their NCLEX tab but I will say their questions are so detailed and random I probably only did about a hundred.
A week before I tested I did the Kaplan, Uworld, and Archer free trials, they all came with 1 pratice test, I mostly did these to keep consistent with answering questions / the format of questions I might see. I also went on the official NCLEX website and looked at there sample pack (this shows questions that they used on previous versions of the nclex)
Other than that I used Mark K lectures ( found notes on here and the lectures on Spotify). I thought this was most helpful on exam day to know what the question is really looking for/ asking. Being able to point out key words and phases was key.
I do think ATI was significantly harder. The hardest part of this test if you really have no clue what they’re going to ask and it’s kind of just all over the place, but I wouldn’t say it was super challenging!
I got my results via the board of nursing sending me an email less than 24 hours later saying my license was active 🥳
