Since my failure on my first attempt on June 10th I can't stop thinking about the NCLEX. I have been to the bookstore about 5 times trying to find the right books. It's killing me knowing I have to wait 45 days. I am not saying I am ready today nor tomorrow just knowing about the wait!! uggghhh!
I know where I went wrong after much thought! There are some areas I am going over, I have come up with a new study plan and I will be ready to tackle the beast again. I don't think I practiced enough questions. I did a lot on Saunders but found them too easy. Yesterday I purchased Exam cram and from just flipping through the book I found 3 questions that were identical to the NCLEX with the exceptions of wording differently and age change of the scenario. I hope that Exam cram will help me. I also have to understand how to answer, since this is where I went wrong.
My biggest problem that was totally my fault is when I go to question 150... I gave up. I just read the question, read the answers, and didn't even think about them just picked one.... and I did that all the way up to question 265! I was so tired and exhausted from the drive there. I wish there was more Pearson Vue test centers and it would be nice if I had one close by!!!
I guess I feel I needed to express my feelings! Good luck to those up coming test takers! My advice more questions and definently learn the strategies on how to answer!!
Maybe when you reschedule your exam , you can pick a time late in the day, you can drive to the test6 location in the morning and then find a library or somewhere peaceful to relax for a couple of hours so you will be rested and not feel stressed or better yet, save up and stay over the night.
