FAILED NCLEX PN

You can find examples of how people prepare throughout the NCLEX forum. First start with the mindset that you are studying as if you had never tested before. You don't want your mind to trick you into skipping material because you "think" you already know it.

I know what you mean...It's just so hard to review everything all over again knowing I failed the first try...I'm so unorganized..i hate it.

I recently took my NCLEX PN early March 2011 and I also failed the first time. I can honestly say that I let my nerves defeat me in that test. I got the full 205 and after question 85 I freaked out because all of my classmated got 85 questions and passed the first time. The second time around I felt lost and defeated and really didnt know where to start. I used Saunders to study the first time, but I didnt use it to my full abilities. The second time I used Lippincotts and Saunders Comprehensive is a great tool as well. I studied one and a half weeks before I scheduled my second exam 2 hours a day just to get in the mode of critical thinking and reasoning. Please pay attention to teaching bc that was all on my second exam. I also got the full 205 on the last exam, but this time I took breaks and didnt let my anxiety defeat me after question 85. You can do it, it takes previous knowledge, comprehension, but most of all you have to make up in your mind that you can do it. That was my major difference this time and I passed. I hope this helps you significantly. Good luck! LVN/Texas.

Hi, i know exactly how you feel.... TRUST ME... i failed twice.... and i felt so horrible and you dont know what 2 do.... i registered again recently. But i have a tip for you that might make your studying a lot better learningextension.com it different prices for an amount of weeks. Its helping me out alot. I take my test again in a couple of weeks. All the negative around you. You have to ignore it until you take your test again. I wish you best of luck.
