Start over and study everything as if you had never tested before so that you don't inadvertently leave anything out. But keep your problem areas in the back of your mind and pay a little more attention there. Same suggestion as before, do as many questions as possible and study the rationales. If you can afford it, maybe an inperson review might be helpful.

2brichielpn08 I studied all those different areas on the Saunders 3rd edition CD and took 10 question quizzes on all areas and took 100 questioned test. If you know you are weakest on Physiological integrity study it a little bit more but you do have to study like brand new, everything! You can do it 2brichielpn08 :)

Charityss1 study like caliotter3 said. Don't give up whatever you do. You can do this, If I can do anyone can. Takes alot of hard work, and sacrifice. Sacrifice to study!! Maybe you are not understanding the questions and what it is asking. It took me awhile to get what the question was really asking. I think I was looking to much into the questions and it kept messing me up. Once I got it through my head after answering question after question on the Saunders CD, it donned on me what it was asking and how I should go about answering the NCLEX questions. You can do it charityss1, take your time, understand what the questions are asking.:)

i was so scared to fail the nclex that i studied from morning to night for at least 3 months...

when my computer shut down at 85, i knew i passed.... but actually, when i was taking the test, i found the questions very hard--- many questions i have not encountered in my review ..... i just had to do my best and used the strategies in the process of elimination...

i believe that prayers helped me a lot..... i tried my best to attend mass in the morning before i head the library so that my head will be cleared from worries (am a mom of 2 teenagers).... prayers helped me be peaceful and calm--- i needed these so i could absorb what i was studying....

i used saunder's 4th edition cd, i chewed the rationales very well before swallowing and digesting them .... the good thing about the cd is that you can review by category like by Client Needs where there are 4 sub topics, one of them is psychosocial integrity...

after i finished with saunders, i used exam cram which has 1000 questions... like what the book suggested, i reviewed and mastered the cram for 2 weeks..... i did some notes from exam cram which became my nclex bible (i photocopied the "NCLEX PN CRAM SHEET" from the book which was 7 pages... then that's where i put my notes, on the blank spaces of the front pages, and all the back pages.... ---- btw, my classmate who failed the nclex borrowed the notes that i had.... he said it helped him passed the nclex when he took it the 2nd time... aside from this, he reviewed saunders and hogan)

few days before my tests, i was so so nervous, i could feel my heartbeat very fast and strong... my knees became weak.... but the day before the test, i just snapped and became confident --- i accepted my fate, pass or fail..... i said to myself, "i did my best, and if i don't make it, i just have to try again......" ---- you can do it, too!

hope what i shared will help you in some way... good luck!
