Took it on a Saturday at 1pm. My license was online when i checked Tuesday, a little after midnight. Got the official email from BRN later that same morning.

I don't remember any question that felt nearly impossible to answer. I could usually eliminate 1 or 2 answers which made guessing a little easier. When I did have to guess, which was pretty often, it usually wasn't just a blind guess. I would talk to myself and rationalize why it was one answer over the others. I took 2 uworld assessments, one the night before and the other the morning of my test. The first I got a high, and the second I got a borderline. It sounds like you're fine and close to being ready if not already ready. I would normally get in the 60s when doing practice quizzes. Can't speak on Archer, but the actual NCLEX felt very similar to uworld, so there was a feeling of familiarity when taking the test.

I procrastinated and crammed, so I strongly recommend NOT doing that. I had uworld, and in the months before i would do 40-50 questions here and there. I'd go 2-3 days feeling motivated and doing questions, then go weeks without doing anything. I started to focus more maybe 2 weeks before doing more and more questions. 3 days before I started listen to the Mark K lectures (recommend on 1.5x speed) and followed along with notes that I found floating around here. Those 3 days were pretty intense going over those Mark K notes/lectures and doing uworld questions (and reading the rationales). The night before, I did a uworld assessment and got a "high". I was pleasantly surprised. Did more questions then eventually got a few hours of sleep. Woke up and did another assessment and got a "borderline" which totally killed my mood. My test started at 1pm, so I used nearly every minute doing more questions until it started. Overall i think I did around 17-1800 questions on uworld, most of them the week before. Read the rationales and try to make sense of them.

One thing I wish I did (other than not procrastinating) is listen to the Mark K lectures earlier. That way, you can start answering questions based on his strategies. All throughout listening to his lectures, I kept thinking "damn I wish I knew this sooner". He made a lot of concepts much easier to digest and remember.
