I recently took my NCLEX this week and passed in 85 on my first try a year after I graduated! I was struggling mentally especially due to the intense stress nursing school had placed on me and I was burnt out before even entering the field. I took a well needed break and began studying for the NCLEX over the last 2-3 months but I was very inconsistent and would do practice questions whenever I could. I spent the last 3 weeks studying intensely for 3-4 hours a day as that was all I could do without getting tired or bored lol.
For how I studied, I used bootcamp's readiness exams and Uworld's test bank to figure out my weaker areas and really just strengthened that. I initially spent a lot of time just learning content but my test scores were barely improving with that. I learned that learning how to answer the question is much more important and prioritization became my goal. I watched a ton of Dr. Sharon videos, honestly any just priority videos I could find and really honed in on that.
I strongly believe that nursing school knowledge will never leave you and you will always remember atleast 50-60% of content you learned so don't stress about relearning content. I passed on my first try after a year of being out of school so if I can do it, anyone can!
