Failed NCLEX-RN for 1st time in early February, getting back on my feet to take again.

Hello guys! I finished my ADN in December 2015. As excited as I was to take the NCLEX, I unfortunately did not get approved until mid-January to sit for the boards! I scheduled it February 8th. In shock, I failed. I felt pretty confident answering the questions. I was very upset, shocked, and depressed. I needed time to myself. Kept myself busy the past couple months. I felt the worse I have ever felt in years. It really put a damper in my life, but being a nurse is something I want the most out of my life. So, today I woke up scheduling my exam to take again on May 26. I felt like it's time to finish what I started. Any tips for people who have passed the second time?

Preparing for the exam the first time, I only used Saunders 6th Edition. Read most of the content and answered a lot of questions with its online bank. I need something to help me out more on not just content, but it seems like HOW to answer those tricky questions. I need to pass this!

me and you are sorta in the same predicament. I failed it last month. 101 questions. I only used Hurst and Uworld two weeks leading up to it. What's embarrassing about this whole mess is I had one of the highest gpa's in my class, and I failed the nclex; while others who barely got by passed it. Are you going to do any live reviews this time around or just read over content and do questions? I did find that 35 pg nclex guide someone posted on here a while back, but it was very unorganized. I might edit and rearrange some things on it and then post it for everybody.
