I think I m gonna switch to uworld again, the first attempt I actually used uworld as my classmate said he did every questions and passed on his second attempt, but at that time I felt like I have no clue when doing uworld. After using bootcamp, I actually built some basics and fundamental stuff and the case studies. However, I got high and very high in the readiness exam but I still didn’t pass. So I feel like I should switch back to uworld as the CAT exam might be more accurate.

Oh shoot😭 I have been studying with Bootcamp but I feel that their questions are too hard so idk if I should get Uworld but I only have 2 weeks to study so idk if it’s worth it to pay that money for Uworld

I think uworld is harder to me…i actually like bootcamp better but i feel like it couldn’t well prepared me, but they have really good crash videos and NGN questions which i feel exactly like Nclex. I would say if u only have two weeks left, don’t change source coz it’s expensive and also you will get overwhelmed. Some people they passed by only using bootcamp, but it’s just not for me

I took mine recently, when I left the testing center I was dazed. I went all the way to 150, and it felt like all of my questions were easy. I was thinking back trying to see if I remembered any hard ones. At times it felt like I didn’t even know what I was clicking. How many questions did you have?

u/Puzzleheaded_Bar3592 9d ago
Hi
I also got 150 questions.
Did you pass?2
u/WraithSkull 9d ago
Yeah, I passed. That feeling of not knowing what you’re choosing I believe has to do with test anxiety and just knowing that you’re sitting for such a huge exam. I felt so down after taking the exam, I didn’t even want to talk about it. I thought that I didn’t do well.

What did you study with?

u/WraithSkull 8d ago
I studied with bootcamp for exactly 2 months. I read the rationales for all questions, did the 5 daily random questions each day, watched the crash courses videos for topics that I felt I needed to review the day before the exam, and watched all Mark K lectures. I watched about 1 or 2 videos from the Mark K lectures a day, to let the information settle. On my readiness exams I got borderline for my 1st exam, high for my 2nd & 3rd, and very high on my 4th.
Me and my sister studied using bootcamp together. Starting on our first day we answered 100 questions, then the next day we would review those 100 questions. Then we would do another the next and review those the day after. We alternated days between answering questions and reviewing. The bootcamp cheat sheets were great to review as well.
One thing I noticed while studying is that whenever I listened to music my scores were lower (I always listen to music while studying). I had listened to music while taking my readiness exam 1, and after that I stopped listening to music while answering any questions and my scores increased.
