California LVN graduate need some guidance and advice

[R053]

Hello there everyone! I am in need of some advice and guidance. I graduated nursing school "LVN" in 2012. I took the nclex emam about 3 months after graduating, when I took my exam I unfortunately did not pass my exam the computer stopped at 85. When I got my results back my heart felt like it was ripped from my chest I was crushed! Anyways I had plans to retake it again soon after but I didn't, I know shame on me. I know there is no excuse, but between the marital problems and family stuff I just became so overwhelmed. So I lost my way and went back to school to finish the last 3 pre req classes for bridging to the RN program just to get me motivated again. Anyways I ended up jumping back on the ball and took my exam again just recently, this time I did the whole exam 205 questions. I did my review with Kaplan nclex pn prep and my sanders nclex prep. Well I have yet again felt my heart get ripped out of my chest because unfortunately again I have not passed, all of the sections this time were near the passing standard. My question for whom ever is reading this LVN, RN I need guidance and help. I am going to retake the boards again in the next 3 months, I'm not going to wait a long time again. Also Kaplan has offered for me to issue me their test prep again for free because I did not pass. If anyone has some advice of what would be a good source for helping me with my nclex please let me know. I graduated my LVN class with a 3.8 and when taking Kaplan nclex course I was passing the qbank test with 80% my lowest score was 68%. Thank you for reading this!

The test is multiple choice. Usually all of the options but two are pretty obviously incorrect. The two left are generally, What is the 1st thing you do or What is the priority. Remember your ABCs: usually applying O2 is prior to calling Dr. or Rapid Response.

Take Kaplan up on their offer and remember you only need to pass once

I got a lot of select all that apply and exhibit questions along with some drag and drop questions. Thank you for your advice ☺
