Failed! Now what!?

Published

Took it today............got to 219, time ran out!

I felt like I was taking a pharmacology exam

I had drugs for every other question....it was sooo unfair

I don't have my official results... but I did do the pearsonvue thing!

I did Kaplan and got 58% on both Trainers 6 and 7

Now what!?

I felt like all the stuff I saw on the exam I never even studied.......I focused on the usual diseases that Kaplan's questions presented to me....Addisons, Thyroidism all that good stuff....

The exam game me only drugs, calculations, and some other disease

How do I prepare for round 2?

How do I pick myself up?

How?

Thanks:scrying:

congrats to u, U FINALLY DID IT.

Hi Visuals!

I am in your same boat, I took the exam back mid-August but failed because I ran out of time on question 220-230's. I was wondering what did you do different and to motivate yourself to study. I just don't feel as motivated as I did when I studied the first time.

I want to take the test in about a week & a half but I don't feel ready. I have already reviewed the Hurst content review, read LaCharity prioritizing book, Kaplan Strategy, and have done 100 questions per day.

I just wondering if you had any advice and also if you knew of any good math calculation books?

Thanks & hopefully you passed =)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

i was wondering if you passed the nclex already and what did you do? i just found out i failed for the first time and i'm trying to regroup.........took the kaplan course before.......any suggestions

i found your post very inspiring. i really need to talk to somebody right now. i feel alone and i'm trying to see through this set back. pls pm me if you have time.

I came to this site for some advise and support. Failing the nclex for the first time is devastating but I know that I should not give up and see this set back as temporary. Do you have any suggestions in retaking the exam again? Any resources that you can share would be helpful.

I retook the test today.....

I studied from the Saunders book and did the saunders CD questions..

The last time I took it it took me the entire 6 hours to do only 219 questions... At the end of it I was defeated!!!

This time I did 75 questions in 55 mins! I got up and everyone looked around like I was crazy!!

I don't have official results but did the pearson vue trick and I'm getting the passing "prompt"

THank you Jesus

Thank you everyone on here!!

Bless
