NCLEX for the second time

[porkey2]

Hi guys, for those of you who did not pass the first time, do you feel that the nclex is harder the second time around?

I heard the questions are more difficult than the first time around.

Good afternoon!

Yes, it is... but don't get discouraged! Continue your studies without any interruptions! After 45 days go try it again! I took my first exam out of curiosity and didn't study enough. Try not to rush through questions and analyze your answers! Is your Board sets some limitations on how many times you can take exam?

Best wishes!

Thanks, I hope I can get thru it the second time. Not sure how many times I can take, hope this next time is it though. I believe I have to wait 45 days, waiting to see though. Thanks again for your advice.

Good morning!

I forgot to include one more thing - study Boards papers (NCLEX_RN Candidate performance report) about your exam and see your weak areas, then study them more because computer will test these areas on your next exam. I hear from many nurses who passed their test - they answered from 4,000 - 10,000 questions before they took their exam. Only when your are sure of your knowledge then take your exam.

Best wishes!
