I am in the same boat but with the PN exam. I will be once again taking it at the end of this month. I have been studying with the NCSBN practice exam which I feel is the best out of all that I have used. My plan is to study as much as I can and try as hard as I can until I pass. I wish you the best of luck.
Sorry you have had this experience.... so out of the 4 times iam sure the reports has helped you to pin point your weakness and i hope you have used this to focus on your studies. since you have been studying since the last time you did not pass, iam sure you are good on your content. so this weak just focus on answering questions and looking at lab values. look over infection and control...dont focus too much on the fact that you have not passed. Also walk in that room like you are taking it for the first time....the minute you start thinking about the past times you will lose your confidence and doubt yourself. All the best. you can do it.
This is my story too. I failed three times and now it's my fourth time to give test . Everybody is asking me wheather I took date for test or not but I am feeling like a looser. I couldn't concentrate in my studies. I never get panic before but now once I open book I am start panicking . I also observed my self not to study just to avoid that anxiety but I know my husband and my parents they have faith in me. They want me to get pass. So this time I am doing for them. I need to pass. I have to pass and I ll definitely pass this time . Whatever I have to do for it. So you can also do it. See winners never quit and quitters never win. Keep in mind this. Forget the past . Future of become RN is waiting for us. We ll do it. Enjoy the life dear. Good luck .

diana2520:I am more knowledgeable day by day.As i have already finished kaplan book,NCLEX 4000,priotization and delegation book,Feuer audio review,allnurses study guide,as per your advice i am doing 25 sata from nckex 4000 each day,revising all the rationale that i made note from nclex 4000,revising hurst content,practicing NCSBN question bank.During my 4th attempt i got all near the passing level and 2 above the passing level.My weakest portion was pharmacology and management of care but now i am okay with all the content.The only thing that is left is to build up the self confidence.The key point before appearing this exam is to believe in what u already know.I have really bad anxiety during the exam,my hand starts to shake,i feel nauseous,when i put ear plug then i start to hear my own heart beat.This anxiety is blocking all the information that i know during the exam.I wanna salute you for being so helpful to allnurses community.No one come back to this website except few people after they pass and hesitate to help each other.I found my own closest friend ignored me when i have to appear nclex again and again.But in this website i have found amazing people like you who are ready to help anyone everyday and i am a follower of your advice,thread and post.
God bless you

Hello everyone,
I am not proud to say that i have not passed my NCLEX-RN exam yet.Till this date i have rescheduled my nclex for the 4th time.I have been studying since the day i failed for the 4th time.I have to appear the exam pretty soon before the expiration of ATT.But when it's one week left for the exam i feel like i am not prepared,my heart starts to palpitate even faster,i feel like i have to postpone my date once again.Am i the only one with this kind of situation??My NCLEX-RN journey started from 2009 and people keep on asking whether i have passed my nclex or not.I have not told to anyone beside my husband and parents that i have already failed the nclex for the 4th time.I have never been so scared about the exam in my entire life and have not failed any exam like this before.I am a honored nursing student but nowadays i started to doubt myself,i feel like i am the dumb one.I have done some soul search and i know i meant to be a nurse.But this exam has been a big hurdle for me.I am scared to death to appear the nclex exam once again.I do not want to let my parents and my husband hopes to scatter in pieces who has been always been there for me and believing that one day i will pass the nclex.I really want to boost up my confidence level.Today once again i am here in this website in need of your help.No one will ever understand how you feeling at this moment unless you are from the same field.Please help me out to build up my confidence level.
