Failed nclex 5x

[Nikki1991]

Hi everyone,

i just became a new member to allnurses. But I need some advice. I graduated May 2014 and have failed the NCLEX-RN 5 times. The first 3 times I failed at 75 questions, 4th time was 176 questions and my most recent which was October 1, 2016 I failed at 265. I thought this was it and that I had passed but now I'm starting to feel defeated. In August I took a hurst review and really liked it. I've also had 2 tutors in the past. But I'm thinking of going back to test but instead this time do the NCLEX for LPN. And buying a question bank for LPNs. So I just wanted to know your thoughts please... should I try the LPN or go and test RN again. Thank you...

It seems to be from reading on here that when someone fails multiple times, it isn't knowledge-based but anxiety-based. Look into that.

GOOD LUCK!!!
