so, still not done reading my book.. and i can't seem to remember things/topics that i've read

(well, except for delusional jealousy, because there's this girl who's a total whackadoo!! sending me sarcastic angry msgs online just bcoz i sent a greeting to her bf, WHO'S A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE BY THE WAY.. happy birthday)

especially when it comes to pharma.. the books is just so overwhelming.. iam really sick and tired of this.. i've been doing this since last year.. i want this one to be my last this time.. really2 want to nail it!! .. but everytime i try to take the exam mode my scores suck big time!! and according to other people.. saunders is just a piece of cake.. too easy.. not even close to the real thing etc etc.. so most of the time i end up feeling very low and sad.. how the hell am I going to pass this exam

6 weeks left and iam not even done with the book!! more than half to go!! my mom said that i should have faith and believe that only the things that i know is going to pop out of the screen bacause God knows what i need.. (do i make sense?) but she's been telling me that since my first take.. and still i can't make it..

well.. moderate anxiety.. pushing through severe.. that's why im sharing my stuff (or should i say crap) with you guys.. just to give me some kind of relief.. and asking for some advise as well..

Re: 3rd round in just 6 weeks's driving me nuts!!

Are you practising questions? I would concentrate on practising questions and reading the rationale

Re: 3rd round in just 6 weeks's driving me nuts!!

I agree with Silverdragon. Practice questions then read and understand the rationale is effective. Informations are easily absorbed by the brain. For many, including myself, it's effective. If you read book then after awhile nothing retains, it's useless.
Good luck!

you know, we just have the same situation, this is my 3rd time this year, and im totally lost i dont even know how to start again, i havent read since the day i received the 2nd big envelope of my life. coz i dont know how to do it or where to start, sometimes im just thinking life is so unfair, (for just a moment, not for too long coz i know nothings gonna happen if its gonna lasts thinking that way), some of friends already passed and been working at the hos[ital almost two years, and im still here dealing with,...

but you what? we gonna make it happen okey? we failed we will take it again and we will be RN soon, coz we finished nsg school to be NCLEX-RN, and nothings gonna stop us eventhough we failed once, twice, coz we both know we failed but we will never be a quiter... oryt! go gurl! we can make it.....

GOD has plans, we just need to wait......

Re: 3rd round in just 6 weeks's driving me nuts!!

I would suggest practicing questions and reading the rationales. It's a great way to go over content. And PRAY PRAY PRAY. God is in control. He will see all of the hard work you're putting in and he will take care of the rest. YOU HAVE TO HAVE FAITH!!! Matthew 17:20-21. Good luck!

Re: 3rd round in just 6 weeks's driving me nuts!!

Same here, I have to take it again, for the third time. I hope that saying is right, "third time's a charm!" How depressing! I think everyone is right, just got to keep practicing those questions with rationals. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.

You know, my husband told me something and I think he is right. Not everyone is good with the standardized test, that is why it takes many tries. It's not that we are dumb or not studying enough--it's just that our minds have a harder time with it then most. I truly believe that is why we have to work harder at passing. So, STUDY STUDY STUDY, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!!

WE WILL PASS, even if it takes 10+ times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
