In some states like New Mexico,the BON requires only three times after that you'll just take a refresher course.Kindly check on your respective BON state website for more info.

Vermont has had this rule for at least 10 months - when I first completed the application. They want to see what review course you have taken before allowing you to sit the test again.

I think that is reasonable, if you fail that many times you really need to review your strategy.

this is from the Texas BON website

Texas has unlimited testing within four (4) years of eligibility. US graduates will have four (4) years and unlimited testing attempts to take the exam from their date of graduation. For example, if you graduated from a nursing program 05/01/2000 then you will have until 05/01/2004 to take and pass the NCLEX exam.
