As you an see I failed my first attempt at 265 questions. Got "Near Passing" in all areas. :banghead:It was an extremely humbling experience to say the least... Now I am not far away from retaking this dreaded exam! Many say it should be less anxiety this time around since I have taken it I know what to expect but I'm finding myself to be even more worried I really cannot afford to fail this time!
So I bought Hurst which I think its a great review content wise and I have completed 2 of the Q banks 81/125 and 77/125 which they say a median score of 84 is what people get who actually pass so that scares me since I haven't hit that mark yet! I also purchased the NCSBN review and I feel the content is hard to take in since its so much info! I've mainly been just taking tests in the evenings scoring on average 60-70 with a few 80's & 90's here and there. Lastly I purchased the Mastery app but I just use that once in a while on the go my scores are hit and miss with it but I do like the rationales.
I've been studying basically all day almost everyday and I'm worried I still won't be prepared in time but I can't really afford to reschedule! Any tips or advice would be amazing and congratulations to those who are officially Registered Nurses!
