Failed again!!

It wasn't my N-CLEX exam, but the community/psyche portions of my nursing school tests. I had the worst time answering those properly. When they would start with "What would you do...." I realized I needed to read them differently. I read them as "What would Julia (my instructor) want me to do..." Psyche & community was never my strong area, but this little change made a big difference. Most of my N-CLEX exam was psyche questions, and I stopped at 75 and was sure I failed. It took longer to drive to the exam than it did to take it. I passed...but I believe it was my different perspective on those questions that helped. Sounds crazy, but it worked.

Another thought, definitely take into consideration the areas you find are more troublesome with your N-CLEX prep programs. Spend the most time on these. I believe there are also brush-up courses for people who have had trouble with the N-CLEX. I don't know how long it's been since your graduation, but you may consider the brush-up. Best of luck!!!

eoesaeni,

sorry to hear that. remember, sometimes things dont' go the way u want it to go...imp. thing is not to let those dissapointments hold you back from living your dream. don't give up, show it you are more stronger. take care.

to leigh and other frens,

i think i have a test anxiety disorder as well....always, i have been really really nervous whenever i have had a big exam next day. i can't sleep the night before not only that, i keep waking up and freaking out. telling myself calm down calm down don't help either and than i am just extremely hyper. i dunno y it's like that...usually/normally i am a quiet person, but sometimes in large gatherings etc or exam, soemthing that's important to me, i get hyper.

i don't want to frreak out this time when i sit for my exams. i want to be as calm as possible and be able to have a good night sleep so taht i am rested to take my exam teh next day, but i dunno how.

anyone else have used any technique to overcome their anxities at a wrong time to face the situation more calmly and well? vbmenu_register("postmenu_1609240", true);

Don't give up on your dream! Find an NCLEX review course in or around your area. They can do miracles.
