I am testing for the 4th and hopefully last time on the 14th, less than a week now. I go through phases of confidence then I feel like I'm definitely going to fail, but for the most part I have a lot of confidence this time around. I feel like I refuse to fail this time, it's been 2.5 years now since I graduated, I want to pass more than anything. I feel like I have put so much time, effort, and money into this test that I will pass this time. Anyway, I wanted to see if anyone else is taking it on the 14th and I wanted to wish GOOD LUCK and pray for anyone else taking it this month of July (especially if it's your 2nd, 3rd, etc. time around, like me). Also, I wanted to write that in the past my test was always very early in the AM (at least for me, I'm not a morning person at all), usually 8 or 9AM, but this time I found one day that had a 12:15PM opening so I took it. I was wondering if anyone who has taken it more than once or took it later in the day found that they passed or did better. I am confident that I will do better taking it later. It was also tough last time I took it at 8AM, I am about an hour away from the closest testing place, so I had to get up around 6-6:30AM for this test, so I know I wasn't 100% at my best. Anyway, sorry for the long post, but like I said, good luck to all test takers in July, I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers!

you will be fine and i will pray for you. Can you also recite the St Joseph of Cupertino prayer? many people have a good experience about the prayer. I m taking the exam on july 20. I picked 2 pm for the exam: just to relax, be at the center around 12.30, relax in the car and go in around 1.30pm. I don't like morning stuffs.
I will pray for you and God will assist us.
I had never heard that prayer before, but I looked up, thank you for recommending it. Good luck and I will pray for you!

I am testing July 14th at 2p in Boston, MA. No early morning traffic jams for me! I will get on the commuter rail near my house, I am on the south shore, near Plymouth, and relax for the ride in. For one of my Excelsior exams, I was in a car accident on the way to Boston, don't want a repeat of that for NCLEX. Started taking practice exams yesterday, scoring in the high 80 percent area. My weakness is maternal/newborn so I am brushing up. Good luck to you on July 14 and post your good news!!
