NCLEX-RN boards 2nd time....How do I know i'm ready?

Published

I graduated this May 2012. And I have almost all my books from school.

These are all my NCLEX review books:

Kaplan 2011-2012 Strategies, Practices, and Review book

NCLEX-RN Cram 3rd Ed

borrowed two old Kaplan RN course books

Registered for a Kaplan review and have my own current RN course book

did another NCLEX review with another course book

Saunders 5th Ed comprehensive review (yellow book)

Mosby 20th Ed comprehensive review

HESI comprehensive review

Lippincott NCLEX-RN 10,000 question book

15 NCLEX iPhone apps

a clinical Lab book

and thousands of paper notes from school and friends.

My friend showed me this book called "NCLEX-RN 101: How To Pass" and I'm thinking about getting it. Do I really need another book?

I took my boards Oct 9 and failed. I was excited to take it but my nerves got the best of me when I didn't understand the questions. It's BASIC nursing skills and I couldn't even get it. I paid too much attention to the types of questions and what number i was on.

I'M SO NERVOUS, SCARED, DiSCOURAGED that I have to retake it :/

During my review class, I get the content. My review teacher made it so simple. but I've been getting 60% on my practice tests. a few 90s but no consistency. How do I know I'm ready?

This might be far fetched but I believe when you look at a question and know what category it falls in. I am researching this idea to see if it helps understand the test process.
