Any 5th or 6th time test takers out there

Published

I said I wouldn't start a thread, but after reading everyone elses stories. I know I am not in this alone.

I am so down and out thinking that I have failed Nclex-Rn 5 times. My self-esteem level is -0. I am so so HAPPY for everyone that has passed, but I keep saying WHY CAN'T THAT BE ME!!!! I have tried everything from A-Z and nothing seems to help!!! What am I doing wrong??? Other than my anxiety level is 1000% when I set down to take the test.

I will be taking the test again in March. Please pray for me that the Lord will give me the strength to pass this test the sixth and final time!!

Hey is there anyone else out there that has failed the test five or more times!!!!

hi there,

you are not the only one that have taken more than 5 times. this will be mine 6th in March. i too have tried everything. i am currently doing suzanne' s plan. I had no confidence, sad and emotional upset. each time i got the failing result, I cried and went into depression for a while. I know that I can not let this exam defeat me or you. you and I went to nursing school and pay all that tuition. Please dont give up because I am sure not going. I will keep taking that exam until the day i passed. I know sooner or later, I will crack the nclex. good luck on your next testing date.

PM me--maybe we can help each other

Sorry to hear about your situations. Keep on fighting through though. Do you think you need content review or more practice questions? Have you tried going to a different facility? I know they are all the same but maybe you'd be less anxious if you were in a new setting.

Well I have failed the nclex rn 5 times and am currently preparing to take it for the 6th time. I am horrified. I have done everything. I have so many review books I could open a library. I have spent thousands of dollars on review courses and books and am at a dead end. I don't even know where to begin to study for my 6th time. My job is now currently on the line as they want me to pass within 2 months or I could lose my job.

I have been reading on here about hints to help pass with the nclex but I feel as though I have done all those.

I feel the same way you do and I wish you luck on your test. I just keep telling myself I can do it and I keep praying.

hello i took kaplan before, private review that was a waste of money and time and self study, for my last time i review content rather then doing questions, studied like crazy

maybe i should have concentrated on doing more ? i am so emotionaly tired and frustrated, and angry and feel like ....

I'd say studying content alone would not be enough. Doing practice questions is really the only way, you have to know what the NCLEX is looking for.

I know this feeling, i am going on March 14 for the 7th time. I really hope that this is it, I just cannot start from the beginning one more time. Let's pray and hope that we can do it, and we will do it. For the longest time I thought that i was the only one who cannot pass this test, but know, because of this website, I know i'm not alone and together we can do it, we can and we will pass NCLEX-RN and one we will call ourselves RN:cheers:

let me first say i terrible i feel for all of you! but let me say that you can do it!!! i know how hard it is to pass the nclex. i myself had to take it 5 times and finally passed! what a glorious day it was! i got on the http://www.learningext.com and took the 3 week course for rn review and i firmly believed that is what finally helped me pass (and the lord's help as well!!!). there are longer courses you can take but i definitely think this was well worth the money. you can make it! don't give up! persistence pays off. please pm me if anyone has any questions or needs any encouragement. i'll be praying for you all!!
