Failed NCLEX 3 times and FINALLY passed!!

[cantgiveup]

Hey everyone! I wanted to post my story on this website because it was other people's stories that got me through the past year and a half. I graduated Nursing school in August 2010. I first took the NCLEX in November of that year and didn't pass. I took the Kaplan review course, but I know I didn't do as much as I should have. In 2011 I took the test two more times and both attempts were unsuccessful as well. I really felt hopeless, humiliated, and had no idea if I should keep on pursuing it. I had been out of school for so long, I didn't even think I could get a job at this point. But I gave it another chance and again, used Kaplan Q bank and Hurst review. I did EVERYTHING you could possibly do on both study sites. I took the test again on January 6, 2012 and PASSED! It felt amazing! I had been depressed and so stressed out the past year. I just want to let anyone who is having the similar problem as I had to NOT GIVE UP. With a LOT of prayer and a ton of studying, you can do it!!! Good luck to everyone out there trying to conquer this monster of a test and I will say prayers for all of you!

Congrats to everyone that has passed!!! I need a lot of help! I took the nclex December 2011 and failed with 265 questions. I was near passing in all categories. I used Kaplan to study but did not understand the strategy well. The second time I took it I strictly did virtual ati and failed with 75 questions and was near passing in all categories except physiological adaptations and health promotion where I was below passing.I know my content. So far im scheduled to take it again in march and have been doing Kaplan again and getting the strategy down. Any help would be amazing!!!
