Failed twice, PLEASE HELP

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I've taken the Nclex twice and failed. I had a lot going on at the time and I felt that I was not studying enough and didn't have the right study material. I've recently bought UWorld and Lacharity. My biggest problem is being motivated to study after 2 failures and if I'm studying properly. PLEASE HELP!!! I've tried making note cards and that was very time consuming. Any POSITIVE feedback is appreciated!!

whatever you did the first two times didn't work so you now need to go a different direction. I would think that the desire to pass the exam and become a nurse would be enough motivation, if it isn't I'd have to wonder why not.

The candidate performance report that you received after each failure would tell you what areas you need to work on in order to pass. In order to pass you have to know WHAT it is that went wrong before and change it. If it's just increasing study time then that's easy, if it's learning content then that's a bit more involved and if it's learning to think critically as the exam expects then that would be the most difficult.

Maybe meet with a tutor to see where your weaknesses are and go over a study plan? Good luck.

I agreed with Extra Pickles user's response. It is important to know your weaknesses and strengths. From what you described, there are 4 issues you encounter now.

I mentioned my study method for NCLEX RN in my first post here. You can check it out. Anything else, please ask

Do not discourage dear, trust me you can do it I had failed 3 Times also, guess what I just passed on December 26th 2017 after my fourth attempt. That's mean you can do it too I did uworld the 3rd and 4th Times I did each section separately I listened to summet college review on YouTube and did each with uworld step by step with the review , then after I finished all the uworld I mixed them all together and did 75 questions a day. After all that I did the wrong questions. Before I went for the test I did the two assessments I got very high chance and high chance to pass. I also listen to other nclex tapes that I had. Don't get me wrong even I did all that I prayed a lot too. Finally at the fourth attempt here I'm an RN. You can do it too.
