Failled nclex 265. I don't know what to do

The 30 day trial expired, it's 7 days trial now. Try the 10 questions on their website for free first

Read all the rationales and make notes on content you are having trouble with then go back and review just those items. Then just keep repeat t this process . The rationales are the key to understanding why you are picking the incorrect answers. Keep working on it you can do it.

Like some of the other posters said, if you haven't gone over the rationales, this time around go over them. Going over the rationales is key to improving your performance. Also, are you using the decision tree mentally when answering the questions?

Being that you took the test all the way to 265, it means that you do have potential to pass, so don't give up. You can definitely do this. And if you've been living and breathing NCLEX, give yourself a break. Take a day to spoil yourself. You can't just sit studying all day. Your brain is going to give out and won't work as effectively.

This is coming from the person who failed twice and recently passed the third time three days ago. You got this. Good luck!

I really liked the LaCharity book (Prioritization, Delegation & Assessment). I had so many priority questions on my NCLEX!

I think one important thing to remember is to NEVER over study

I can't give you advice because I haven't taken NCLEX but one thing I would have never done, would be to take 6 months to study for the NCLEX. That is a LOT of time to dedicate to one test. In 6 months, your brain will slowly dump the information from the last subjects within a month or two. Ideally, I think you should spend 1-3 months reviewing content and answering questions for all the content (med-surg, pediatrics, psych, fundamentals, etc). I would dedicate 1.5 months to just reviewing content without a doubt and hesitation and the other 1 month to just do straight practice questions. Anything longer than that, then its just like you're overstudying...

I actually started studying for NCLEX about 5ish months before. But I never did hard core studying until maybe about the last month of studying. The first few months I only did like 15-20 questions a day just to start to get me out of the nursing school mindset, and slowly work my way into the NCLEX mindset. But, everyone is different. By the way... Did you do Hurst review? I only ask because Aunt Marlene said "without a doubt or hesitation"

Hurst is great contents but it doesn't cover everything!! when you receive your CPR focus on your weakness if you can try to read Saunders on your weakness.. Hurst is great but you must understand it and know why behind it... I am using uworld I am scoring between mid 50 and 70% I love their rational I did get the free 30 days trial but its amazing!!! I am studying each individual section write notes on my laptop and I go over it before I go to bed.. i have other notes but uworld for (procedure and skills ARE GREAT) I am going to do this process for 6 weeks then take my board.

Please don't give up.. Last time I took it i failed in 234 questions... Stay positive!

OP, is English your first language? I ask because MANY students that are ESL have trouble with the NCLEX due to language.
