Last chance to pass :(

Published

Hey guys, so I've taken the skills exam twice already and failed both times. On Tuesday I'm scheduled to take it again but this time around if I fail again I won't be able to retake it without having to retake the entire class again and I refuse to do that. I feel so distraught and hopeless right now, I feel like I'm never going to get this, and I'm under a lot of pressure to get it since it's my last chance and I'm already on the schedule at a nursing home. All of the CNAs I know and my classmates were able to pass the first or second time and I feel like a lonely duck right now. I've been studying a lot but I always seem to mess up one thing. Does anybody have any advice or assurance you can give me?

Thanks for all your help guys! I was able to pass this time woohoo! *dancing*

I take my test on Thursday for the first time. I am anxious and nervous as well. We can do this and we can pass this test. I think you have been given a lot of great advice and I know I am going to use a lot of it to get thru Thursday. Just remember to breath, think about what you are doing and take your time. Remember the instructor puts their pants on the same way you do everyday. They are just like us. We can do this!!! Wishing you lots of luck. I am practicing non stop until I take my exam.

djstormin, wishing you THE BEST. I'm looking forward to hearing you aced your exam on Thursday.

Remember to breathe!

:p

The skills I got on my last test were pretty simple - the other skills I had on the other two tests were pretty hard I thought. I can talk over my experiences though if you would find that helpful ^^
