I've failed NCLEX twice. I finished school in September of 2019, took my first exam on Dec.17 in hopes of starting the year fresh and unfortunately did not pass. I used Kaplan which I feel like I learned nothing from and mark klimek which is a little outdated but did helped me remember some content. I completely blanked first attempt and dont remember absolutely nothing from that first exam, I knew I failed but was still devastated. I took a bit to myself and then tried it all over again. I set my test date for March.17 & due to covid I had to reschedule to yesterday, May 26. I was so confident this time around. I used UWorld, I even tested a high chance of passing NCLEX on their practice exam for NCLEX. I just dont know what to do now, I feel so unmotivated, I feel like I'm never going to get it. I was so confident this time and to see the words " fail " on the laptop just destroy me. I dont want to do it again, I dont know what else to study. I can tell I've made progress in my learning but obviously it's not good enough. I need help, I cant even afford to do all this, I'm lucky to have my mom and boyfriend by my side through all of this, helping me. I dont know what else to study. I did all UWorld questions, even multiple times. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm just so drained at this point and dont know what else to try..
Have you tried the Mark Klimek audios? I took the NCLEX-pn in may but it was my 4th attempt over an 8 year time span. So I listened to each of those once and the prioritization/delegation twice just to be sure I had that one down.
Initially I started with the NCSBN review because they had the deal going on but I didn't really like the format or anything of it.I had done some UWorld questions through fb site and liked the rationales but it was wayyyy too expensive for me.
Then I came across Archer Review which was really nice, very similar to UWorld but I actually like the rationales better, loved that you could take notes and loved that each question gave you a percentage of average know/dont know that question and then the overall percentage also. I always heard you just have to be right above average, just above the average line and thats a pass. Mark says the NCLEX is easy, its not meant to fool you or trick - it does have its own meaning to things ex: whats best, what is priority, what should do first etc but its all right there and NCLEX is a perfect world so its not what could happen or has happened its what going on right now.
