Hey, guys! After frequenting these forums all summer, I decided to contribute my story. I have terrible testing anxiety, which makes things like the NCLEX very difficult....
My first time, I failed at 265 questions. It was miserable, in all honesty. I left knowing with all of my heart that I had failed.
The second time, I simply practiced hundreds and hundreds of questions until I was so comfortable with them, I could practically do them in my sleep! I tried my best to stay calm, and it worked. I passed. In 75 questions.
The best piece of advice I can give anyone is just to practice, and stay calm. You got through nursing school, you should have the basic understanding to pass this test. You can do it, I promise!

Thank you! I really do. The Q&A is split into sections based on nclex topics, so I focused my attention on the questions from the section I scored low on. It really, really helped. Good luck, I know you can do this!
Thank you for your answer!
Thank you!
