Hi 3rd,

You may want to take a look at my post "long time lurker...first time poster" as I, too, took & passed on my 3rd attempt. All the best!

i just finished my 3rd attempt last weds. it led me to 265q's. i have been getting the "good pop up"...... i hope its true! the questions covered almost everything. from SATA, Priority q's a and lots of meds.

i read Saunders. did 100 q's everyday.

Lacharity is a must.

Nclex 4000.

Kaplan Q Trainer

i think i did about 3,500-4000 q's. try to read meds everyday. i know its hard but repitition helps!!!i changed my schedule to take the test about more than 20X. i always felt i am not ready but in reality u will nefer feel ready to take the test. just study as if you've never tested before. and lots of prayers too!!!

Good Luck!!!!

Never give up on yourself! The depression will pass but you have to take the initiative and tell yourself that you are going to do it - don't let fear conquer you. You have our support on this forum and many others have been in your shoes, so dust yourself off, jump back on the horse and study. :banghead: There are many resources on here especially the random facts and the infection control link.... change the game plan and study as if it was your first time. Best of luck, you CAN do it! :twocents:

Same as before, do as many questions as possible and study the rationales. Only difference in studying for a retake is that you should study as if you had never tested before. You don't want your mind to trick you into skipping over areas because you "think" you already know them. Good luck.
