How I passed in 85 Qs
Hey guys so I just passed in 85 questions last week (🥳) and wanted to share how I studied. Now keep in mind, I am a MASTER procrastinator and I did not want to pay for any uworld or archer type thing. So I didn’t.

My school offered ATI for free for a few months after graduation and the method was spamming those practice questions. Most importantly, read the rationales!!! That’s how you learn the most. And if you don’t get it still, google it or watch a YT video. I did the 12 week thing that ATI has and then the dynamic quizzing, probably about 1k questions out of the 3k they have.

A few days before I actually took the test, I signed up for nursing.com free 3 day trial and took as many simulation nclex as I could. These were super helpful and boosted my confidence. I took about 4 or 5 in total in those 3 days and passed in 86 questions or less.
That’s it. That’s all I did to study. Don’t memorize stuff and try to understand why. The test was honestly so easy and I was SUPER stressed. I went to a small nursing school, less than 100 ppl in my program. I’m so blessed to have passed and hope this helps someone. You don’t need to spend hundreds on uworld or whatever, use the resources that are available to you. Even without ATI, I say to take as many nclex sims on nursing.com using the free trial and then going thru the rationales to guide ur studying.
Good luck!
