So, I finally feel I should not give up......I will be a retaker for 2nd time in December. I felt so low when I failed the test in July'07. I was thinking to take in october but just couldnt get motivated to study. In the meantime, I joined RN-BSN program. So, currently I am in school taking 15 credits of classes. I need to have my RN license before winter so I can do practical in communnity health, a required class for BSN.
After visiting this site almost everyday, reading success stories and encouragement given by one of my wonderful instructor from my ASN program, I am motivated to do it.
So, newcomers as well as retakers, Lets get together, support each other and lets pass the RN test. WE CAN DO IT.
For now, I have started practicing Q&A at least 2 hrs/day from Saunders CD. I will keep you updating and hope you all will share the tips as well.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US. :welcome: TO THE SUPPORT GROUP .
Thank you for the list. Goodluck to everyone! I'm getting so nervous. what are your last week preparations? as for me... i couldn't make it a 100 questions per day. i swear that i'm really slow but i make sure that everytime i answer the test questions, i really go through the rationale & make sure that i remember it. so atleast the next time i get a somewhat similar question i would say to myself "i know this one". :) And another thing, i write down important info from the rationales & i'll read it again after.
Any dec 2nd time test takers like me? i felt more confident now, but everytime the "what if i don't pass again" crossed my mind... it just makes me want to move & move my sched. & don't know when i'll be ready to face that computer again.
I hope we'll all have a great holidays! I'm praying for you all! Godbless! :)

I had the same exact feeling as you do when I rescheduled the test. I took it in July and failed at 265Q and I started to prepare for my second round in middle of Sep and here I am now.
I did Saunder's CD, around 100 questions each day, sometimes more, sometimes less, and now I am doing Kaplan Qtrainer, Kaplan strategies book, and delegation book by mosby. I am praying to GOD everyday to help me to pass this time.
I do the same as you do to write down the important rationales or things I don't know and review it again. I think it's a pretty good studying habit because when you writing things down, it helps you to remember.
God bless you and will give the strength, intelligence and knowledge to pass this test and HE will be with you all the time when you take your test. Just pray.
Let's all pray for each other and hold hands together to go through this difficult time.
