I cannot ever seem to pass my NCLEX!!! No matter what I do and how hard I try!!

Published

It's getting ridiculous already on how I keep trying for my NCLEX and still not working! What am I doing wrong?! I studied EVERYTHING!!! And i mean everything. I feel so dumb already. Right now I am in limbo.

Should I jump right back in with reviewing because I want to take the test again after the 45 day waiting period or take a break? I don't want to waste my time with waiting and at the same time I want to get my license this year. I am so tired of trying this is my 7th time and i still failed! I am running out of hope! It seems like God never wants me to pass! I am so hopeless and frustrated and so tired of studying.

The last test I took I ran out of time. I took the review from Delmar's and passed all my mock test. I can't seem to get a hold of my test anxiety! Can someone out there please hear me out. I am so desperate to the point where I'm an inch away from giving up

Look, nursing isn't for everyone, and if you had to take it 7 times... well... nursing is not for you. There is literally no reason to fail that many times.

Although you have taken it 7 times, please do not give up. Some people are just not good test takers but are great nurses. I suggest working on strategies

Even if you think its ridiculous and stupid for me to fail that many times. I know how to not give up on something i love. I am not good with tests but i know i will be an excellent nurse. So if u think my failure is stupid please keep that to yourself.

Have you thought about seeing a counselor about your anxiety? There are a lot of calming techniques that might help you if this is indeed the reason you aren't passing the test. Also, you might want to consider a refresher course. I wish you the best.

I don't have a counselor yet and i think i might need one. I read all the refresher courses. I just don't know why i black out when i take the test. I passed all my pretests and have gotten even 67% on almost all of them i don't know why i just can't get it right.

Hello jjgrlh0318 Just because you are struggling doesn’t mean you are failing. Every great success requires some kind of struggle to get there. Opportunity always comes with opposition! Hang in there!

I took excel nursing review. They travel all over the country. Give them a try they helped me so much! I failed more times then I would like to divulge but after taking them I passed with 75 questions. I highly recommend them.
