I know that I was not ready to take NCLEX, but...

Hello everyone. I am sorry for my poor English skills. I am an international educated nurse. After I took exam yesterday, I knew that I did not pass it using PVT trick. Instead of good pop, I got CC window. I feel very miserable. Before I took exam, I had finished KAPLAN review class, QBANK, Saunders 4th edition and CD-Rom. Since I started studying for the first 3 months, I practiced questions around 50. Then, I practiced questions 100-150 everyday.My KAPLAN's average score was 57%. I know I should not have taken the exam due to my poor English skills, but I could not postpone my ATT validation date. Therefore, I took exam with my lack of knowledge and English skills. While I was taking exam, I saw a lot of questions which were very different from Saunders and KAPLAN.

Now I have no idea which categories I have to study and what kinds of material I should use except improving my English skills. If someone has helpful suggestions, please let me know. Thank you for your time.

Maybe you did pass, you never know! But I think that if you do not pass, they will mail you out what areas you need to study based on your test answers. Stay positive!

Don't worry about it now. Give yourself credit for having tested and look for the best. When you get your official results, you will find out if it is time to start looking for your first RN job or whether you need to plan to retest. Good luck.

You have passed your nursing in English that means you are not poor in english. so don't bring this to your mind again and again. Just keep on going. One day you will be fine. I know this is easy to say but hard to accept at this time.

Thank you for telling me and your encouragement. I do not want to give up to take exam again. On the other hand, I am afraid of taking it again. However, I want to believe that I can understand and memorize a lot of nursing knowledge, then I will have a confidence in myself.
