Still no name on the board, in which I assume I didn't pass, once again. This is the 3rd time in taking the exam. Not sure where I am going wrong. Took the Kaplan review for the 1st time, 2nd time, reviewed the Saunders CD and for the 3rd time, I reviewed the Saunders book and CD. Disappointed that there is a very strong possibility of re-taking the exam. It has not been a week yet and I am ready to fill out the re-take exam. I am wondering fi I have to wait to receive the letter in the mail before I mail out the application.

I am so discouraged because it is not my content that I am weak in, it's my test taking strategies. This may scar me from passing the exam, although I am thinking on a positive note. Everyone I read from CA have seen their name online within 24-72 hours and for me it has been longer than that!

I really should wait before applying to resit.

Keeping fingers crossed for you. If you do fail why not try Suzanne's plan

Jazzysmika....I just responded to your message on my original thread of the 8/22 test date. I too took the test last Wednesday for the third time too. This is a struggle, I know what you are going through. I did Kaplan for my first, second, and third time taking the test. I too used Saunders as well as Mosby's illustrated RN review. My content area isn't weak either its how I read the question. I over think the question. Then I doubt myself. If I was to take the test orally I would nail it and you probably would too! I did well in school and never in my life have I had a "test taking disability," if you will. I don't feel that axiety is winning me over when I'm taking the test, sure the normal pre-jitters but nothing to the point where I can't focus.

Well, we know the drill and how the BON works and since we haven't seen our name posted we know whats to come in the mail. It's hard to think positive when we've been in this situation two other times. If this makes you feel any better.....I did what your not supposed to do and I called the BON this morning. Like I said in my other post to you the BON website had a glitch of some sort and yesterday reverted back to what the website said last Friday. (Last updated Friday August 23). I called I asked what happened and if the BON was behind.

The man told me, "We did have a glitch in the system. We weren't able to input RN licenses."

I said, "Does that mean that you are behind? I took my test last Wednesday, did it get caught up in all the mess?"

He said, "Yes, they told us that they were going to solve the problem by today but they are moving like snails. Your my 4th call this moring about this. I would check the BON by Friday and we apologize."

That was our conversation. If you've ever called the BON before they want you off the phone and usually you end the call knowing less then before you called. This guy must have been new! But it gives us hope! Please keep me posted on your results! Your not alone and I'm hoping for the best for the both of us!
