Count me in - I'm taking mine on the 15th (for the last time).

Here in KS the only times available for testing is at 8:00, lol..so i really didnt have a choice.. :) i qould suggest you doing 100-200q's a day and read rationales even if you got it right. just so you could be familiarize with the answer. 8 hrs is long..you're putting too much information on your brain, maybe that's why you feel very anxious. just take it one day at a time and im sure yuo'll be fine. i stopped reviewing a day before the test..i went to the mall, and walked around to calm my nerves..my stepmom also told me watch movies if walking around don't help..the last day should be a relax day.. :)

goodluck!!!

wow! congratulations!

I'm pretty sure my weak areas are calculations and medications. Do I really have to memorize the medications? I dont know how to study it. Its too much!

Well, I'm just reading the rationale for oncology topic. I got 67% on the subject.

Did you study per topic and take the exam or just did the 8 content areas( physiologic adaptation, pharmacological and parental therapies, psychosocial integrity....etc)????????

oh gosh...my friend told me at work that they are anticipating on me taking the exam...of course they,ve been betting if i will pass or not... Thats so rude! Evrybody at work thinks i cannot pass the exam. I only took the exam the exam once and failed. Now im gonna try again... It makes me more stressful now that people at work wants me to fail. :bluecry1:

I am still trying to finish the hurst review content. And i tried to take the practice test on saunders comprehensive review cd. I got 66% on the assessment.:( now i feel more nervous and so anxious as to take the exam on the 28th. I guess i have to reschedule it on june 3rd.

I dont know whats wrong with me. Im so sensitive to what other people are saying.... I really need to pass this. I pray everyday to the lord, to help me forget what people are saying and help me to concentrate on the review. My family are hoping too that i will pass this exam. I feel like stupid that they talked behind me. Those people who i thought were my friend. :(:bluecry1:

How will i know if i amready to take the exam. How should i score in the saunders comprehensive review cd q &a. Should i score at least 75% for me to be able to take the exam? Please help i am confused again....:banghead:

repeat this daily, if its to be, its up too me

annfaith- I wanted to wish you good luck with your exam. I finished mine today. The computer shut off at 75. It took me about an hour and a half. It was like no other exam I have taking. You can beat it. Like I stated in my previous post, I tried the "trick" and it would not let me go the the cc page. I hope it stands true. Good luck to all future RN exam takers.:wink2:

I just took my test nclex rn again yesterday. I have taken it numerous times and am scared to death. With times before, I just went in and had all the ?'s and then received the results of "near the passing standard" in EVERY section. What was I suppose to do with that?? That happened to me 2 times in a row!! This time I focused a little more with studying and hoped and prayed I would just pass already. I graduated 2 yrs ago now and although I have had many ups and downs, I could not have studied any better for that test. Yesterday I received all 265 ?'s again and finished in time. I have to say it was the hardest yet. I had many SATA, about 7 calculations, and many meds that I really could do anything with (couldn't break them down, categorize them..) I walked out of there with no idea. I couldn't sleep at all last night and had to be up at 4am to come to work this morning. I have been keeping myself busy trying not to think about it, but man is it hard. I just know that nursing is my passion. THis is what I am suppose to do in life. I just need to pass. Thanks for reading this and taking the few minutes to listen to me vent. I just need a little support. :uhoh3:

Good luck to everyone else testing this month.

I woked in the Nursing Field for over 20 years. I have been out of it for 10 years and now wish to return. I took the NCLEX today and it stopped after like 79 questions. I feel horrible about it and don't think I passed. Oh well I guess I will hope and pray, but be ready to taka again if need be. Good luck to all those taking and wasiting!!!! God Bless.
