HELLO,Took my test today and failed again .I am so upset and don't have anymore resources as i used them all.I don't know what my next step should be .I studied ,studied and studied. I did a ready to pass class that was excellent did the saunders review book did u world .I keep getting to the end of the test and failing maybe nursing is not for me .Maybe i should just forget this whole chapter in my life and start over with a different profession .
UWorld and a calm attitude will change your life.
First time I took nclex, I used Kaplan. It confused the crap out of me but I didn't try any other study material. I was extremelyyyyyy nervous going into it. Had a panic attack in the middle of my exam. Took all 265 and failed.
Second time, I used UWorld. I didn't have the best end score when I finished but I studied the rationales hard and retook the questions I missed several times. And I didn't panic. I kept a calm, cool attitude. Took 40 mins and 75 questions...and honestly the test seemed easy. I know it wasn't "easy" but UWorld is harder in my opinion and prepared me well.
You are not a loser. I just took my 4th exam on Thursday (the 6th) and I finally passed. I got decent grades in school, but I have horrible test anxiety. I did go to my doctor a few months ago and had her put me on a low dose of Lexapro. It has helped me concentrate and stay focused. Now that I am an RN, I am going to wean off it, but you could consider that. I literally took my pill about an hour before I tested so I would be relaxed and I was. I did get anxious about question 70 and took a break because I was afraid it was gonna shut off at 75. But luckily it didn't. I got about 100 questions. I did the trick, got the good pop up and my RN license was active yesterday morning. Please don't give up. I know someone who took it 8 times and finally passed. Good luck and keep your head up!
