Help! Failed NCLEX in 265 need to move forward

I failed my NCLEX In 265 and felt confident about the content however I have never been good at testing and I have anxiety which makes it hard for me to focus and I just feel the overwhelming need to be finished. All of my classmates/friends have been taking the test and passing.

Any tips on anxiety management, moving on from constantly thinking about the test/retake, and how to better prepare the next time around would be beyond appreciated!

    1. Do not discuss with people that you will be testing... do that in silent. This will help wit pressure and stress.

    2. Try mark klimek, UWorld... study everyday... if you are low on money purchase the saunders 6 or 7th ed. Nclex book or Kaplan. If you have no money download ati rn mentor app, saunders nclex app or the nclex rn&pn test pro... take notes... to help you truly understand

    3. Do not study the day before scedule test or the day of... get plenty of rest...

    4. Do not think about what other people got on the tests... while taking the test just focus on yourself & the test.. read carefully... don't 2nd guess yourself!!

    Don't be discourage just learn from what you did wrong last time and make it right!! Stop doubting yourself .. you'll do fine future nurse!!

    I passed last week and found it very helpful to keep telling myself during the exam that I was just doing UWorld questions. I exclusively used UWorld to study and it looks exactly like NCLEX so it was easy to keep telling myself that to calm my nerves.

    You passed nursing school...you can do this!

    Take a few days to rest and recover before you start studying again. I know all of my classmates are always posting about how they passed and have been hired for jobs and it can be annoying so maybe even consider social media. Don't worry about your classmates, in the grand scheme of things you will all be working the same jobs! Try and write down what you found difficult on the exam. It seems like anxiety may be what prevented you from doing your best so for sure work on meditation or strategies that can help relieve your anxiety! Stay positive and tell yourself that you WILL pass this test! It's just a test on a computer, don't let it define you! Good luck!!
