failed nclex twice..what should i do?

[donovan]

I graduated in may..took time off before i took the nclex..and then waited several months after that to try again..and I continue to fail.. I feel confident in what I know..i just have severe anxiety and can't seem to find practice questions that resemble those on the nclex.. any help or information on how to study or on what to do would be great! been considering taking a review class.. what do you think?

latest edition in saunders.Take the test in each chapter if you get below 70% read the chapter and make sure you get about 85% the second time around once you are done with all the chapters.go onto the cd and answers 75questions every day and sunday off to rest your brain.make sure you read the rational even if you get it right or wrong.finish the questions on the cd and after that take the nclex exam you will pass .it has worked for alot of nurses.Goodluck

If I was you, I would spend 2 weeks reviewing all the material that you learned from school, including your notes, and then do practice questions. I passed my NCLEX 1st time with 75 questions and I really feel that it was because I did so many practice questions on the computer. I also read basically all the rationales behind each question and took notes as well.

I agree with Gerry doing questions on the computer is the best way to study for NCLEX. It is a computerized exam so stay away from alot of book questions.
