HELP NCLEX in 5 days!!

Published

I am about to take NCLEX for the second time. I did the ATI review the first time and it said i had a 97% chance of passing and I got the green light to test. The day of NCLEX I had all 265 questions and failed. This time I got a few Kaplan study books and the 3wk NCSBN course with questions. I get between a 50-70% on the practice test and I take NCLEX On saturday and I am freaking out. Does anyone know of any last minute practice test that are good? My confidence is shattered after failing last time.

Thanks!

If you've done a lot of review to prepare for the second time around I really wouldn't push it the last few days before the exam. Honestly just do some light review and try to relax. I don't care how prepared you are or under prepared you feel, the worst thing you can do is go into the NCLEX tense and a bundle of nerves. When I took mine I told myself I wanted to be as relaxed as if I were in the middle of a vacation and that's basically how I was. Read each question carefully, use test taking strategies if you're unsure of an answer, and don't get too hung up on one question. And STAY RELAXED!!

Thank you, I will try and stay calm that way I think through all of the questions. I think i got so nervous the first time I made mistakes
