You might be asking yourself, is it time to slow down on my studying? Is it time to study for the NCLEX even more? What should my last 2 weeks look like? The answer is that you should NOT slow down. You are in a good spot and must keep up the momentum. If you have already been preparing, there is no need to increase the time. If you have not been studying, don\u2019t panic. Set and stick to a detailed plan.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>Each day of the last 2 weeks should be intentionally planned out in detail. Devote 4 hours to test taking practice and 2 hours to review of the test results, including content remediation. Have rest or no-prep days scheduled to make sure you are taking care of yourself and not burning out.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>Below are two different study plans for the 2 weeks prior to your NCLEX test day. Choose the plan that fits your level of NCLEX preparation.\u00a0The key aspect to consider when\u00a0choosing\u00a0a two week NCLEX plan is how much preparation has already been completed. The ideal preparation plan is different for each individual. Most schools have some aspects of NCLEX preparation built into the last semester.\u00a0If you&#8217;re feeling confident in your NCLEX prep, go for Study Plan #1. But if you haven&#8217;t started studying and the NCLEX is just weeks away, or you want heavy duty prep that will include content review apart from practice testing and remediation, choose Study Plan #2.<\/p>\n<p><br \/><div class='avia-data-table-wrap avia_responsive_table'><table  class='avia-table avia-data-table avia-table-1  avia-builder-el-0  el_before_av_table  avia-builder-el-first  avia_pricing_default '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Table\" ><caption>Study Plan #1: Last 2 weeks of prep for individuals who have already been preparing for the NCLEX.<\/caption><tbody><tr class='avia-heading-row'><th class=''>Sunday<\/th><th class=''>Monday<\/th><th class=''>Tuesday<\/th><th class=''>Wednesday<\/th><th class=''>Thursday<\/th><th class=''>Friday<\/th><th class=''>Saturday<\/th><\/tr><tr class=''><td class=''>No prep today!
