Failed NCLEX 1st attempt in 75 questions

Published

Hello guys, I failed the nclex on my first attempt in 75 questions. I am really discouraged, upset and don't know where do go from here. I went in there with no test anxiety and feeling good. I didn't find the test to be that difficult which scares me that I failed. I don't know how to go about studying for the next attempt. Any tips would help tremendously.

I'm so sorry. Keep your head up! You are not alone and you will get past this.

Can you give a little bit of info as to how you prepared for the NCLEX? That way we can go from there as to advice for new ways to approach your prep.

Are you sure you failed? Did you try the PVT?

I'm really sorry. You are truly not alone. I failed this week also and felt hopeless and devastated as soon as I did the pvt. Since then I have woken up with a new attitude and with a positive mindset. I will pass this test. You will too. Just believe that you will.

I passed NCLEX 3 days ago, and I feel that kaplan really prepared ME for NCLEX, cause I got a lot of priority questions and what is interesting is that my FIRST question was a SATA???? I Tought you get SATAs with hight priority questions, but being the first one, I am very skeptical about SATAs being a "good sign", I passed with 85questions and got only about 5-6 SATAs.

Common misconception is that SATA means you are passing, or getting "above passing level" questions. Truth is that SATAs can be the format for below and above passing level questions.

I am SO with you! I failed the NCLEX Rn on 7/3. I am DEVASTATED. 75 questions and I failed. I thought I was doing great! Walked out feeling like I passed, like it was not difficult. I have to be honest though, I did minimal studying. I'm hoping for any advice you can all give. Much appreciated!
