Failed Pn Nclex

Published

Hi, does anyone have any Nclex study tips. I will be taking my test for the 4th time pretty soon. I have studied the Kaplan strategy book, reading the Saunders book and doing questions on line for it as well. And I've also listened to several different CDs and took notes over them. I've been getting a great number of questions correct on the Saunders practice questions but I am still a bit nervous. Does anyone have any suggestions, I would really appreciate it.

Take your candidate performance reports and create a targeted study plan. What are your strengths and weaknesses? Are you improving? Are you below in most areas? Near? Above?

Are you weak in content? Test taking strategies?

Yes I've actually been studying mainly on the topic I went below in. Health promotion is what I am having problems with. The last 2 times I went below in this section. And I actually ran out of time taking the test the second time and had the entire 205 questions the third time. It seems like I am getting closer and closer. But I have been practicing more of the questions in the section I scored below in. I'm also trying not to overdue it. The first few times studying I did 100-150 questions a day. I think I may have burned myself out somewhat doing so. And I also seem to better understand the questions as I'm doing practice questions. I'm just getting very nervous and discourage. Just never know what to expect on the test.
