The rules for retaking the NCLEX vary from state to state. I'm really surprised that you failed after doing so well on the practice tests. Did you have overwhelming anxiety on test day?

Suzanne is a moderator on this forum. She offers a study plan using a book called Saunders Comprehensive Review. She has a very high success rate. The information is located at the top of the forum page.

The number of times that you can take the NCLEX varies from state to state. For example, in my state, Nevada, I can only take it three times. However, I can go next door to California and take it as many times that I need to in order to pass.

hi Eric... No I went in there all relaxed thinking this time I will pass for sure, I admit I did a few questions about 4 in total that i basically did not know the answer too, but thats about all.

Hi there, I've still to sit the exam (waiting for ATT), but I can recommend saunders and suzannes program. I think it's difficult to study when you're doing it on your own so it helps to have a plan and direction from someone. I hope you get lucky next time, I just want it over and done with cos I feel as if thats all I think about lately:selfbonk:

Here is a question for you all...

How can you pass nursing school and fail the NCLEX?? Is it THAT HARD?? You would think if one was a good nursing student, you'd do fine on the test. Now I am scared!! E

Paleobug · Sep 5, 2006

Epona, IMO, I don't believe that the nursing schools do enough to prepare students for the NCLEX, which I think is really unfair. You go to school so you can pass that stupid test. The schools tend to rush students through with a lot of content and not enough preparation. This is why some people have to spend more money in preparation in order to prepare to pass. For example, prioritization and delegation was barely covered at my school.

It may also be that some people just aren't good test takers...as in my case. I made dean's list all through school but just passed the nclex on my second try.
