I took the NCLEX this week for the second time, and my exam shut down at 75 questions which took me by surprise. I had about 15 SATA questions, 4 pictures/diagrams questions, maybe 10 pharmacology, and a bunch of prioritizing. To me it seemed like the questions were more upper level than the first time I took the test. I had no phycosocial, no OB, no pediatrics, and no posology. I took the kaplan review course and followed their sylabus in detail, and put in at least 5 hours of studying a day. I was getting the scores on the Qbank and Question Trainers that they say you need to pass the NCLEX, but my 'unnoficial' results say I failed. I am actually very frustrated and depressed, since apparently I did worse on this exam than the first time I took the NCLEX. Does anyone have any suggestions for a plan of study? I really don't know what to do right now.
You should contact kaplan that you failed and let them reassess you but if you would like to try a different review course I would recommend Hurst or NCSBN.

I didn't realize she paid for her results. I think the OP should do more test questions, study the rationales and learn some techniques to reduce test anxiety and focus on NCLEX test prep tips
