Failed again x3

No I haven't tried that. When I get the book how can a develop a good study plan. Thanks for responding, I just been so upset with failing all the time.

first thing first is how is your study progress before?

saunders comprehensive review book is one good source to study the content.

maybe before you review for kaplan you haven't had enough knowledge on the content. content first then review questions and rationales.

it's hard to study if you're not totally focus

i suggest you make a time plan on your everyday schedule incuding work

have faith in yourself, and don't give up!

you're not alone..and yes we all went through our nursing school

so as I always tell myself

if someone could pass the nclex--why not someone like you?

aaahh..nursing you really got to be a competitive one!

Jarlesha, I am in the same boat with you. But the first step is being true to yourself. If you look at the assesment sent to you by the boards you will see your area of weakness and you can strengthen this by reviewing all over again. concentrate on your area of weakness ten review other content area because you can not neglect them too.

I know this exam can be tricky. It will only make you stronger. You have to be strong for yourself and your kids. Go back to studying with full force and you will make it. God will provide money to retake. You and I will smile in the end. Everytime I feel like quitting I see my daughter's face and feel my unborn heart beat and I know that I can never quit. Please do the same you will do fine.

Thank you so much for the encouragement.

You have the right temperment to be a nurse..and a good one, this will only make you stronger and your husband is watching over you:saint:, just read the saunders, it is very easy reading and if you want i can send you the la charity book:)

Take comfort to know that you are not alone; there are many others who have taken and failed, yes some 3 or even 4 or 5 times. Yes, it is expensive to retake but have faith, maybe it was not your time. Get back in the saddle and give it all that you have you also have the support from all of us on this site. :icon_hug:Good luck on your studies.

hi! i havent taken NCLEX but as what most of my mentors say, start studying the basics and you'll get better at identifying the abnormalities in different cases. try learning/studying by body systems too so as not to overwhelm yourself with so much info. hope this will help in some way.

When you start to study again do so as if you haven't tested before. Set out some protected study time each day and stick to it. Practise questions and read the rationales. You have had a rough time but with determination you can make it. Good luck

Thank you all sooooo much, and thanks for even replying to give me some input.

Hi Jarlesha,

Keep your faith and do not give up. You would not have come this far to give up now. Try the study materials that the previous replies have suggested and try and not think about the times you have not passed. Also, a helpful tip for me is to not read to much into the question should just answer what the question asks. (meaning do not second guess yourself) And last when you are taking your test try and think of the place where you studied home, bedroom etc it kind of eases your thoughts and fears that you are in a familiar setting where you studied. These tips has worked for me because sometimes I experience test anxiety when taking a test. My thoughts and prayers are with you and claim the victory you will pass next time.

girl im in the same boat as u as far as failing the test 3 times and trying for the 4th time. I'm using Exam cram by wilda rinehart. I have month b4 I take my test. Don't give up because I'm not..kids and all I have 3 small ones..they are stressful but u can do it..
