Failed NCLEX 2X

[NurseTiten]

I am so devastated, I took the Nclex recently and failed it again at 205 questions. The first time I didn't really prepare for it, I kinda just went in and took it. I was late and ran out of time the computer shut off on me at 187 questions. I received the progress report and everything was "NEAR PASSING STANDARD" I do know what to do now or where to take it from here. I used kaplan questions and Sanders (green book) to study. I feel hopeless honestly. The questions I received honestly were moderate as far as difficulty. I do not understand what I am not getting. I read the entire green book! I was studying since April.. I felt the questions I received were very tricky. I was more comfortable this time then the first time. I was thinking of taking a month off of work to study for the nclex? In need of serious advise and suggestions

Thank you! Yes, I just wish I went for the exam right after I finished nursing school. Things were fresher. I was not properlt prepared at all, I was all over the place. I am happen I created this account because all pf your responses helped me figure what I did wrong and I realized it was my studying preparation.

You can do this! Move forward and think positive :) I was out of school for years as well before I took my nclex! Just think that it wasn't the right time yet. Now this is your time to shine! :)

Hello guys,

How are you all? I just want to update you all. For all of your advice was greatly appreciated and considered. However; I took the test on 01/06/2015 and failed for the 3rd time. This time around I used Kaplan and did 25-75+ a day, I was random with it. I will reschedule for the 45 days though. I am taking a week off to enjoy life, for the test has been big stress on my back for the last year. This time for some I do not feel dumb maybe because I did not really put my all into it this time, idk . But again I will keep you all updated on my story for those of you who gave me advice and for those looking for courage because they too are experiencing the similar situation. ( again, this is for the nclex pn) Oh yeah I think I did really bad becuase the test 3rd time ago stopped st 110 or 115. First time 180 ( I ran out of time), second time 205, third time 110-115 not too sure computer shut off so fast.

Hi NurseTiten. I feel your pain, I failed NCLEX-RN twice last year. I am now thinking of going to Kaplan to hone my critical thinking skills (I know my content, it's just I really suck at critical thinking) How did you like Kaplan's way of teaching/review?
