About to take NCLEX for a second time and in need of guidance

Hi Everyone,

I took the NCLEX in July with 265 questions. I found out that I was near passing in 6 categories, below in 1, and passing in 1. I have been studying since then and will be taking it again next week. I have read up on my information and really tried to improve my knowledge, at this point I have probably done thousands of questions. I feel completely immersed.

However, the problem is I dont really feel myself improving that much. My scores still are ranging usually in the 60s on a variety of different sources from Kaplan to Saunders to NCLEX 3500 to NCSBN course. Sometimes I do better, but not usually. I FEEL better about testing, but my results are not showing it. I am starting to get really anxious that I will not pass this time either. How do I know that I am ready? I dont know what else to do to prepare at this point. I know that only 50% of repeat takers pass according to the NCLEX website, and I dont want to be one of them.

What should I do in my last few days? How do I know if I am truly ready or if I should push the test back and take more time?

Thank you to anyone that can offer some guidance
