I got "near passing on everything"

Nursing Students NCLEX

I didn't finish my exam and I rushed through the last set of questions and I got my analysis and it said "near passing" on everything. My drive to study has been wilting since that day in October when I found out I failed. I have been answering questions from the Saunder's Comprehensive review book because I hope to use Suzanne's plan. Any advice from anyone who has taken the exam more than once or knows someone who has? I need to get back on track because I put in way more time studying the first time around than now and I am worried that I will take too long to get back into the groove of things--it's already been over a month! :o

I took Kaplan and did not pass, twice, so I'm not sure if it is for everyone. I will be doing Suzanne's plan with the new Saunder's book next.

Wish me luck... Third times the charm. ;)

Also try Saunders Q & A. Personally, I think it's the best Saunders review book.

this could be me. i took the test oct 23, failed, and here it is a month later and i haven't picked up a book. i was below passing on pharm, above passing on psychosocial, and near passing on all others. i am in such a funky state of mind. i know i'm not going to sit until the new year, but i can't even get to where i can open a book, though i just bought the new saunders book and the prioritization, delegation and assignment book by mosby someone on here posted about. i plan on doing suzanne's plan, and following it to a tee, so maybe that will do it for me.. any advice to get through the gloom and doom, have a good christmas with family and friends, and start back on track to passing this test?

thanks for any advice...

take a break, try not to think about the exam and then decide on a study plan, it may be one you decide or using a plan suggested by others but it needs to work for you. reschedule the exam to when you feel better prepared and mentally ready to sit it.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT!

I was definatly feeling down and out about failing the exam but I'm slowly getting back on track...it hasn't been easy but it is something I have to do because I didn't come this far for nothing! Although I'm not sure when I am re-testing, I know I will not rush myself to take the test this time. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP EVERYONE AND WE WILL PASS AND BECOME RNs!!! :monkeydance:
