Failed NCLEX

[seansun2009]

Hello!

I failed nclex January 2016! I have finally rescheduled for March 2016 and have so many mixed feelings about how to study the second time around. A little about me, I graduated in December from nursing school and did not fail any courses. I did not get any Cs in Nursing school mainly low Bs and one or two As. I did use the testing center through my last year in school because I have test anxiety . When I took the nclex, I thought I was going to be fine because I really studied a lot. The first time, I did hurst and Uworld. Hurst was very brief and I felt that nclex was very specific. As for UWorld (54% average scores) it gave great rationales but I didn't see it was harder than nclex. I felt like nclex was more fundamentals and medsurg. I now purchased ncsbn learning ext because I do need a deeper review. I have not done medsurg content since April 2015. Please help, I feel super frustrated about studying all over again and keep getting questions about random disease process. I am considering the kaplan q bank. But would really like to know from others experiences. Thanks in advance.

I would suggest practicing questions and reading the rationale, even if you got the question right. Reading the rationale will help you to find the keywords that will help you with answering the question

I did that the first time but I feel like it just increases my anxiety when I do not get a good score. I am doing it now and want to do at least 50 questions a day
