I've taken the NCLEX TWICE!

Published

I have taken the NCLEX twice!

The first time...I studied my butt off and took the HURST Review. I have really bad test anxiety which is what I feel hurt me the first time. I had 80-something questions and failed.

The second time I took the test was today! I tried to do the remediation the HURST offers and HATED it, so I had someone show me the Kaplan decision tree. I studied, studied, studied, and did tons of questions. I managed to keep my nerves in check this time, for the most part. This time I got all 265 questions, I took all of the 6 hours. I don't know if my mind became fatigued or if I rushed a bit, or if I just didn't know what I was being asked. I came home and did the "pearson trick" aaaand it happened. I was allowed to register and pay (though I didn't, guess I have some subconscious wish that the trick was wrong).

I was wondering if anyone has any advice, suggestions, good resources to study, etc....

I know I am not the only person who has had to take this test more than twice, but getting those results was such a kick to the gut today..

Ok from what I know is if you go to the credit card page...means you failed for sure. I had my results on hold for a day then the next day it took me to the credit card page..I failed. I wish you luck for sure...

i pray you passed..but if you have to retake it.. i suggest purchasing the kaplan qbank.. knowing the decision tree is helpfull, but it is also good to practice using kaplan qbank. thats what helped me pass. all i used was the qbank. the questions are above passing level type questions so they are hard, but it really helps you think critically. also, ALWAYS look at the rationales because thats how youll trully understand why you got that question wrong.

Good luck to you my dear
