Took my exam on Monday and went through 265 questions. I felt confident because I was doing so well in Kaplan, around %65-%80 on qbanks. But I felt horrible after the exam, couldn't even drive. I tried the PVT trick and it lead me to the receipt page, I re-registered. It was the worse feeling!!! After that I didn't even want to view my quick results because I dislike the word FAIL. I still gave it a try and it just reconfirmed me failing.
Anyways, I always read here about people doing the PVT and having the good pop up, not enough about people who went through it and go to the receipt page.
After that I renewed Kaplan and I will purchase NCSBN's LearningExt or whatever it's called. Will go over content for sure. I also plan on buying LaChairty's PDA book.
Now I'm just waiting to schedule another exam day.
Is there anything else I should be doing but missing??????? If I am please please let me know, would soooo appreciate it.
ClassyBoxer, yes I have test anxiety. I tried many times to get it off my mind days before the test. I was just fine, until I sat infront of the screen.
My husband says the day I stop being scared is the day I will pass. He's been helpful in finding ways to calm me down but it just doesn't work for me. This time I will take it like any other test. I have a positive outlook on it now, telling myself that I will pass.
So sorry to hear you failed, I am in the same boat as you. If you are struggling with content I would HIGHLY suggest Hurst-it has helped me tremendously. As for UWORLD...I signed up for the 7day trial and although some of the questions are difficult at times..they give wonderful rational. The also provide feedback onto how others answered the questions such as 34% of students answered this questions correctly (which as silly as it sounds if I ended up getting the Q wrong it made me feel a tad better knowing that a majority of people also answered the question incorrectly). I would also suggest signing up for the Uworld 7day trial to see if it works for you. So far it has helped me! Also purchase/rent LaCharity!!
