Failed NCLEX in 75 questions

[Itsryry]

I failed my NCLEX the first time in 75 questions. I didn't even know that was possible. I am really struggling on how to study to take it again. I did not like UWorld personally. I felt I was exhausted after 40 questions. It just didn't work for me. Anyone have any advice on studying???? Please and thank you

@kayisatay @CollegeKid2020 Hi, Do you guys mind to share what did you guys used preparing for the NCLEX? Thank You.

I live in California how about you? In ca.brn there’s an option for “reapply exam” you didn’t do it? I’m confused if I should contact my brn. I’ve also paid $200 when I did PVT and went through so I’m assuming I failed at 75q. 
thank you for your reply.

I used online question samples, especially this website https://m.nurse.plus/

they had lots of free sample tests for each category

@JS90 I live in New York. In NY I just have to pay the $200 and wait for 2 weeks for the ATT number. I recently took the exam and it ended at 83 questions. I was really shock :((. To be honest this is my second try and I was more comfortable this time than my first try. However, my first try it went all the way to 145 questions and my PRC wasn't so bad with near passing but this time it was horrible LOL so I am a little lost of what to do next. What are you using to study?

@coffee. I used Rachel Allen review center, q banks, also did some Kaplan reading. I think I have to submit a “Reapply for Exam” application online besides paying $200 which I’ve already paid ?. So I’m just waiting for official result and maybe purchase a quick result once it’s ready so I can move on with the process again.

@FiremedicMike Hi, is Archer is the only source that you have used to pass your NCLEX? I used Archer for my 1st and 2nd try and my assessment before my exam was high too. IDK if it was knowledge deficit or I rush myself through the test. I am trying to figure it out so I can improve for my next one.

@coffee, just keep on studying. I was torn when I did the Pearson vue trick and I actually tried to change the CVV number it said incorrect and tried to put incorrect credit card number as well. So I told myself OK I assume I failed, so I just went ahead and paid the registration of $200.

@sara2013 Thank you Sara I will add that to my source of study. Did you pay the prescription or just do their free questions?

@JS90 The result will available in 48 hours. When did you take your exam? is this your first attempt? I hope you pass and let's hope that it was just a PVT mistake.

I took my exam yesterday at 8am and yes this is my first attempt. I really hope and pray that the PVT was wrong and that I passed.

@CoffeeI only did free samples from the website. , the Saunders book came with online resources that you register if you purchased the book new . Otherwise there is ton of free NCLEX style sample questions online. Some people buy subscriptions, but for me I thought those were enough study materials. I passed my LPN and RN exams first try with minimum questions. But felt sick how hard questions were and wasn’t sure that I passed until I saw active status on my license. Good luck !
