Failed Twice, please help

Published

Hello,

I have taken the Nclex twice and failed both times, one time I had around 120 questions the next time I had around 140 questions. I am doing Uworld and will do 10 questions at a time, sometimes I'll get 80% but most of the time I get 60%. I try to read all the rationales for the questions as well. Is 60% a bad sign? I don't want to fail again. I can always narrow the answers down to two and most of the time choose the wrong answer. I am planning on taking the Nclex next month. I just want to know if 60% average so far through 500 questions is good predictor I will pass the exam?

Thank you

Have you examined your candidate performance report to see where you weaknesses are? It makes most sense to concentrate on those areas below passing standard most, near passing standard a bit less, and above passing standard for review.

Yes i reviewed it, I was below in one category each time, both different categories for the two different exams and the rest near passing.

You should do 100 questions at a time, if not more. Train up for endurance vs fatigue. Worse case scenario on test day is you're gonna take all 2xx questions, be prepared for it. If you're gonna train for a marathon, you run the whole marathon on your time off, not laps around your block. Look at the Kaplan guide, it has a nice pathway for priorities.
