Failed Nclex for second time

Published

So, I retook my NCLEX yesterday. I got the 265 questions again and when I did the PVT trick it gave me to good popup and about an hour later it gave me the dreaded bad pop up. :arghh: This morning I checked the site and saw the results...FAIL! I don't know what to do. I totally changed my way of studying and used the nclex mastery app and did over 2000 questions. (Used Kaplan first time) I wrote down rationales and reviewed what I was weak in. When I started the test the questions seemed on the easy side. When I got to 75 I was expecting it to shut off but no such luck. I am just devastated, embarrassed and disappointed. Most of what I went over was not even on the exam. I got a ton of SATA, and lots of priority and some delegation. I also go quite a few questions telling me what to include in a staff meeting or teaching. I don't have the face to tell anyone at work that I haven't been able to pass my NCLEX. I am in Florida so if I don't pass the next time I don't know what I can do because I can not afford to do a remedial program and wait months to retest. I'm sorry for such a depressing post. :cry:

they say it doesnt work now since the pearson vue has been updated when it comes to that.[/quote

Pvt trick definitely still works!

Hello. It means the program has enough data to determine competency. Imagine the nclex like a graph. After #75 The computer throws a set of questions at u, if dip below or rise above the line it shuts off. If your straddling the line , it repeats until 265. Wishing u the best.
