NCLEX Friday ... really scared plz help - should I reschedule

Published

:crying2:Hi everybody, I test on Friday, due to numerous personal and medical circumstances and having a child with no help, I was able to only do 1500 questions sporatically in the past 3 weeks...I did study in June - but now I keep scoring 50-60% :crying2:on the NCSBN site and Kaplan too, my confidence has been shattered and I don't know why I'm doing so badly, I was a straight A student in school, did an accelerated program which was NClex based.

if I reschedule the test i fall behind from my graduate program, for a year, which has numerous other consequences... should I go for it,

i don't feel very confident after these results..

did anyone get the same scores with ncsbn or kaplan and pass... is the real one easier or harder?

please help, i keep loosing more and more of my confidence with these questions.

also with 2 days left is it better to try to reach 2000 question (500 more) or read content, labs, meds?:confused:

Thank you sooo much,

I was using the Saunders 3rd edition cd and about 3 days before NCLEX my scores started droping to around 65-68% I talked to my instructors and this is what she told me you made A's al through the course and the predictor said you have a 97% chance of passing the first time. You know this stuff do not reschedule just go take the exam and stop studying before you start doubting the answers that you are choosing because I think thats whats happen with you, so thats what I did yestrday afternoon, got home and did the trick and got the pop up still waiting to be able to get my quick results I also have talked to someone who kept putting hers off and she said the same thing everytime it got close to the time for her to take it she felt like she was not ready. I believe you will feel like that no matter whether you decide to reschedule it and the next time you will feel the same way. But no body knows but you whether you feel ready or not, if you believe you truly need more time to study then reschedule it, but do not reschedule due to test anxiety because that part will not change. But like i stated above only you know whether you are truly ready or if you are just afraid. Good Luck and let me know what you decide to do.

Don't reschedule ! I only studied for about 2 weeks and passed ! The sooner you take it the better. However, we are two different people so do what you feel is best. Someone else tried to get me to push off my exam but I refused.

Do not reschedule it! Your scores are good! It's all about your confidence, so change your way of thinking! I went into my first nclex-rn and doubted myself because I got frustrated by my scores and ended up failing the test with 265 questions. Only after did I realize that I knew my stuff just needed to have the confidence! You are prepared and will pass! Keep telling yourself that! Goodluck!

Thanks everybody, it means a lot that you shared your situations....you are all right about the confidence, I just don't know how to obtain it, I have lost it! And I don't know how to get it back before the test! I felt like i knew my stuff, but maybe it's been too long since graduation (3 months) or maybe it's just the fact that there is a bunch of other stuff going on, if you have any suggestions on gaining self confidence before the test let me know :imbar
