Do 75 questions each time: On the real exam, you can pass in 75 questions so why not prime your brain to be able to at least focus for that long.TBH, there are so many questions on UWorld that I don’t think this will happen. Treat every practice question as if its the real exam and NEVER re-do questions…your brain has already seen the question and will know the answer so you’re not learning anything new. I’ve mentioned before that UWorld was my primary study source. I almost always studied alone because it’s easy to get carried away in a conversation during your breaks and hard to get focused again. Try to keep your distractions away so put away the phones and close any tabs you don’t need on your browser. I studied mostly at coffee shops because I need white noise, caffeine, and occasional people watching breaks. I cannot study for long periods of time at home because bed, fridge, TV, dog, etc. Oh yeah, I was also in the middle of moving…lolĪ typical studying day for me (that I attempted to keep):Ĩ AM – 11 AM: Wake up > Gym > Shower > Breakfastġ1 AM – 1 PM: Review yesterday’s notes or watch videos on topicsģ PM – 6 PM: Review all questions and answersįind a space (or two) that you study best in. I was doing hospital orientation and worked a few shifts while I was studying, but I made sure to schedule it in so I’m not cramming last minute. Remember to factor in rest days/days with lighter studying so you can actually enjoy life (or work). Make a schedule of things you want to review or how many questions you want to do every time you study. You may need more or less time but use your time wisely. I gave myself ~ six weeks to study and I studied probably 5-6 hours every day. How much time do you need to review and study for this exam? What time of day do you study best? Do you have any other commitments? I was also offered a job and would start orientation end of May/early June. I finished final preceptorship in the beginning of May and I planned to take my exam no later than the end of June. You can reschedule your test 48 hours before your date! Don’t use this as an excuse to keep delaying taking the exam BUT if you get sick or something comes up, you can change your test date. Places like metro Vancouver have dates year round while some smaller areas might not. Once you’re in the actual registration site, you get a list of locations, dates and times of when you can take it. I believe you have 90 days to take the exam from the date you register your ATT. Your registration code/ID thing (ATT?) has an expiry date. Do you really want to go on vacation thinking about taking an exam later? You can go on vacation after you pass the exam! You’re more likely to remember the things you have learned and are motivated to study and get it over with. I strongly recommend taking it as soon as possible, rather than waiting several months or go on vacation first. ![]() When do you want to take the exam? How much time you realistically think you need to study for it. Here are my steps to pass the NCLEX…results may vary. I took the Canadian version of the NCLEX so it uses Canadian values (ie.
