ScaredSoMuch, you have to stop being so scared, are you will be so scared and tensed, you will not do good on the test. Some people have to study for monts and some people don't have to study at all, well I wasn't that type of person. I really had to study to acheive my goal which was passing the NCLEX and finally becoming and Official LPN in Dec. Passing the test is not easy but it seems like when it is your time to pass the test and you sit for it, the test seems a tad easy and it's like is this really happening or they for really asking ME this easy question and I know it too? Read some of the threads out there how I shuggled with this test. Read Our threads as well, this crazy test is not easy but U can pass it. When you go to sit for the test Jan. 27, Eat a healthy Breakfast, relax, calm down, take some deep breathes and take breathes throughout the test, that will give your Brain Oxygen. Take your time answering the question and make sure you understand what it is asking. Look at the answers and start your process of elimination skills, pick the very best answer. There are other Test taking techniques on this forum, read them, the techniques are almost the same. You can do this ScareSoMuch. You will be in my prayers. Between now and Januray 27, I would concentrate on answering questions, questions, and more questions. This does really help when you go to take the test. Study questions and rationals even if they are right. Study your labs, ABG's, ABC's, priority questions (which patient will you see first). Study Maslow, don't get hung up on all the meds in the world, when you take the test, you are going to get the meds they are going to give you and you probably never ever seen it before, you just have to select the best answer. God Bless you ScaredSoMuch!! Good Luck :idea:

@nurselil-lea thank you so much for your inspirational words...it means a lot. it really is such a big stressor not to have a lot of support in taking the exam. but knowing that this site exists, and that i am not alone in my fear of the nclex, it just makes me feel a whole lot better :)

hello i took my test for the second time last dec. 31st, i failed the first with 75 question and my second was 265 which absolutely failed again though i dont have the results yet but i tried the pearson vue trick and i went to the cc page, the worst thing is i paid, coz i thought i have to put my credit card number, well i guess its a good thing too coz i jas need to pay for the 75 re registration.

I am just the same with you guys..my exam will be on the April 19 but I will move it on the last week of march which they advised me to do..I'm feeling like my head is so full and overflowing and it's like I'm not absorbing aything that I read which made me so stressed, anxious, distracted and pressured, but then my aunt bought this calendar that says "BE SILENT AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD". So, i'm holding to it...goodluck to us...:)

Hey I graduated in December 2004. I tried it twice and failed both times. Then with my broken heart, I said the hell with it and I never took it again. This year in September, I felt something was missing in my life and I knew what it was. I started getting ready for it again in late September. I took Kaplan in late November. After the in class review I finished all of the question in qbank and the qt exams. I also did my own review as a supliment. I took my NCLEX on December 16th and passed it with 77 questions. You can get in touch with me and I will try to help you as much as I can. You can do it. Good luck.

hi i graduated in 2007, i took the test twice and failed, first 75 questions then second 265, i plan to enroll in kaplan comprehensive review class, is it worth it? coz its kinda expensive and i hope i wont just spend hundreds of moneyfor nothing, and thats the only money i have on the bank, plz give me some advice i really appreciate it thanks people around me are giving me a lot of pressure and some words that really hurts my feelings, . help plz thanks a lot

Good for you that you have money in your bank account.,unlike me.,no money and no job..I'm doing self-review, it's better for me coz' I can't concentrate for 2-4 hours straight listening to an instructor..My mind wanders after 30 minutes, so I have to take a rest again and go back..and I'm better of alone reviewing..What i am doing right now is focus on what I really want and ask God for guidance,.It depends on you on what kind of review you think you can think best and concentrate..Godless!:)

i can review by myself too but we live in our uncle's house right now,i have a 4 yr old boy cousin who is soooooooooooooooooooooooo noisy and keep disturbing me and even want to answer the nlcex question himself hehe,1 more thing i used their computer coz i dnt have 1 and my cousin keeps pushing me away when i used it, another one my uncle said i should enroll in the kaplan if i want to pass not unless I DONT REALLY WANT TO PASS, who the H*LL is the person who DONT want to pass,right? i really feel so stupid and dumb and insulted, he even said that I already took it twice and I still didnt make it, those words made me feel that i was the most dumb person in the whole wide world,sorry for this message coz i just need someone to talk too, i feel really hurt. I have my unemployment benefits coz I worked before that's why I have some small amount of money, and recently I was hired in mcdonalds, they give me like 4-10 hours a week, not that much money but still it help me pay the rent of the room in my uncle's house, the 2 registration soon my 3rd, re application soon my 2nd re application and soon the payment for kaplan which is expensive. thankz for reading this

einnannie_05 · Jan 13, 2010

we have a lot in common sweet_kisses..i'm living with my aunt, who's got 2 kids that sometimes I need to look after but they are accomodating to my requests not to disturb me when I'm reviewing and I'm sharing their computer too... :lol2:

But I'm filled with people who are very supportive and the people on this site is where I get help and hope...

maybe try to manage your time and plan the day ahead..This challenges and hindrances on your review are part of the test. We want to pass NCLEX so bad that we have to work hard for it.. Don't get affected by people's comments..just breath it out.. JUST PRAY...
