My personal advice is this. Buy or borrow five different NCLEX® Review books (libraries usually have several). There's AJN, Barrons, NLN, and a dozen other brands. Any review book with an index and explanation of answer rationales will do. Then sit down with a medical dictionary, a drug book and your nursing textbooks handy and start going through questions. Set aside at least a few hours/day for several weeks to a month before you're scheduled to take your test. My classmates and I did an average of 6 hours/day just going through questions and different review books for a month before we took our boards. We each answered 75 questions and passed on the first try. As we went through, any terms we did not recognize, we looked up in our med/surg books and flagged it for review later. In a good day, you can get through a few hundred questions. Do as many as you can stand in a sitting. When you need a break, go for a walk, go shopping, have a snack, then go back and do some more. As you go through the books, you'll start to recognize more and more terms. The ones you need to look up the first time, you''ll remember the next time! Even if it all seems unfamiliar at first, it will pass as you do more questions and review the items you're unsure of. ************************************************* If you have the money, buy the books (even if they're a year old or two, the question content doesn't change). We marked ours up liberally as we studied, jotting down the page # in our med/surg books next to the question in the review guide. It saved a lot of time when we needed to look things up for a second time or when we needed to review. Hope that is helpful!
