You do the only thing you can do: Take a day or so to regroup, look at your study plan and tweak it to your newfound understanding of how the exam actually works, and when the official results come in and tell you where you went wrong, use those to focus your study work. Do questions - lots of them - as that seems to help most of us who didn't make it, and all of us who did.

You can pass this. You made it through school, you can do this. Everything you need is in your head. You just need to bring it to the surface. :)

Feel bad for awhile, a short while, then make arrangements to retest, prepare, and test again. Best wishes.

I just got home after taking the NCLEX. The computer shut off...... after the entire 265 questions!! I know I failed. I just know it. I thought I was prepared too... I guess we'll see this coming wednesday... ugh....

How did you study? I took the Kaplan course and it helped me a lot. It is a little pricey but well worth it. Kaplan's questions seemed harder to me. Plus they have a money back guarantee. I also did the ATI review (provided by my school).

I took the Rinehart course offered at our school. It helped a lot as in it got me to sit down and read the info and solve a lot of questions but I guess it didn't help me enough... I was depressed and down yesterday but I'm better today. I'm gonna try to be positive. I put a lot of pressure on myself with our newborn baby girl and all... I was going to try and give my family the best gift ever... I'll tell you one thing, I won't let this one failure get me down or from becoming the best father. Let's do this!!!
