Failed NCLEX at 265 questions.. need encouragement

[sbk94]

So I took my NCLEX exam back in July, had all 265 questions, took almost 5 hrs to get done. I used Kaplan heavily for about 5 weeks and had a 55% on the readiness test.

Kaplan was not useful to me, I did it just because everyone else was using Kaplan from my class and I felt like if that's what everyone else was using than I should be using it too.

I have rescheduled to test again in September and I have been using UWORLD this time around. I currently have an overall percentage of 58% after 1300 questions but i still have about 600 more questions to go and two readiness exams to take. I believe i am getting something out of UWORLD whereas Kaplan wasn't helpful at all, but i am in need of some encouragement, i never thought I'd have to study for NCLEX a second time and i REALLY dont want to have to do this again a 3rd time.. any advice or encouraging words will be highly appreciated... has anyone passed the second time around with UWORLD? what was your experience with that study program?

I failed yesterday with 234 questions. I cried for what seemed forever but you know what? Today is a new day. You can do this just as I know that I can too.

My suggestion: You can't answer questions without knowing the content. Use Hurst for the content and Uworld for the questions.

Best of luck, you can do it!!!
