I graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in Nursing. I could not believe I ever made it through nursing school!!! Well I sat for the NCLEX-RN on Dec 6th and found out exactly 48 hours later I failed…. It was horrible!! So rather than get down I reapplied within the next two days and had signed up for the Kaplan review class. Well I thought all was well until a semi-blizzard hit here today (the day I re-take the NCLEX.) Well after almost dying, but getting there, I sit down determined to do at least better than I did before. Thinking: well maybe it will shut off at 80, 90 or even 265…. But no… 75 and off! AGAIN! I know I got many questions wrong because I remembered them and looked them up in my review book. What is a girl to do?????? I’m lost!!!!

Re: ANYONE... I always fail at 75

Instead of thinking you failed, why don't you look at the exam in another light and think positive. Why not assume that you did so well on the exam the computer only needed to give you 75 questions for you to pass. You have not gotten your results, so tink positive and hope for the best and not the worst. Until you get that little piece of paper, keeping praying. I am praying for you. Good luck. Let us know the result, but i think this time you rocked!

Re: ANYONE... I always fail at 75

don't stress yourself too much. wait until you get your results. i know it is not an easy situation but life must go on...i'll include you in my prayers.

CHEER UP!

Re: ANYONE... I always fail at 75

I'm a lecturer for NCLEX/CGFNS here in the phillipines, your preparation should Test taking strategies, for you to be able to pick up the right answers, sometimes pure nursing knowledge alone can't answer, it might help to know strategies, when I sat down with the beast, I shutt of at 75. and passed hope this time you made it

Re: ANYONE... I always fail at 75

Good luck to you- and if you didn't pass...just stay motivated and try again.

Re: ANYONE... I always fail at 75

My situation is similar, I failed with 75 in September but I passed with 75 February 21, 2008. Keep thinking positive I know it is easier said than done.
