I have taken the nclex once back in November, I failed and it has been a nightmare since

im terrified to take it again, ive been studying with ATI which I suck badly at I cannot score higher than 70s! pathetic I know I just don't know how to answer nclex questions and when I get the answered revealed I think to myself wow your dumb you knew that! I hate the fact it has been a year since I graduated nursing school and yet Im working as a receptionist that makes less than 9hr I give up I no longer want to continue studying and seeing the horrible score I obtain I give up on stressing out on the nclex ive lost all motivation im so discouraged I just don't know how to go on I cant belive I graduated top of my class and cannot seem to pass the nclex

Have you tried the Saunders (or a similar) review? The questions you are asked there are VERY similar to those asked on the NCLEX. Good luck.

Anyway. I attended this company's workshop and bought the book. It helped me a lot. I have test anxiety, I've known that since high school. Had to learn some skills that helped me get to the point where my test scores reflected my knowledge and studying.

I thought the above company's advice on taking NCLEX was superior to most others. Just getting the book and going through it will help you a lot too in my opinion.

Hope you feel better soon.

ATI might be the issue. I loved ATI during school because it helped with the actual nursing classes, but for NCLEX prep it is seriously lacking. ATI questions are nothing like NCLEX questions!

I always recommend uWorld. The rationales are awesome and the questions are similar to what you see on the NCLEX.
