I need help..failed NCLEX 2x already

Rosey02 · Nov 26, 2014

First Time I took nclex: I bought the Mosby book, the flash cards, and was reading through my med surg book. I didn't feel like I had a good study plan though and was just doing whatever I thought I needed to do. Did 265 questions and failed

Second Time: I purchased the Hurst Review. Studied content and did everything Marlene said to do. My q trainer results were high 60%. I felt so much more prepared and ready. I also had the PDA by the Lurtichy (sp??) but that priority and delegation book everyone said was a must. I did that whole book and was answering very well from it and enjoyed the case studies from it very much. I focused more on studying and knowing my content while doing questions at times I was tired of reading the lecture content to keep my mind going. Went and took the NCLEX this past Thursday, did all 265 questions again and failed. I could see that I was answering questions from easy and I would start seeing myself getting into the more priority questions and harder questions and my god. I felt like everything I studied had been useless when these types of questions came up. Like I would get a priority question and all the answers to pick from all looked like the same level of priority to me. Nothing like I was able to distinguish from the priority book I used.

I need help in being able to get through these hard questions. I know my content. I know I can get through these middle level questions. I need some kind of reference for these hard questions though. Or anything at all if anyone is able to relate to what I am talking about and been through it. I am desperate.

And I to not knock Hurst I really enjoyed their system. I was able to understand a lot of things I was confused about before when studying the first time and want to continue to use it while studying again. And I haven't gotten my papers yet about results but from the first time my results were all near passing. So I figured I just needed this extra nudge and content remediation. But according to results I'm still doing something wrong.
