2nd attempt at the NCLEX. Tons of anxiety

Published

I failed the NCLEX on March 29, 2014 with 265 questions. My next attempt is on August 1, 2014. After failing the first time I took a long break before studying again. I used Kaplan only for the first attempt. For my second attempt I'm using mostly saunders and did not log into kaplan at all till recently. Read the chapters in saunders and did a lot of questions from the book and online program. Just last week I started using kaplan again and here are my trainer scores...

Trainer 1. 49.3 (March) 66.7 (July)

Trainer 2. 42.7 (March) 69.3 (July)

Trainer 3. 52.0 (March) 56.0 (July)

Trainer 4. 51.3 (March) 60.0 (July)

Trainer 5. 55.3 (March) 62.7 (July)

Trainer 6. 55.0 (March) 68.5 (July)

Trainer 7. 53.2 (March) Not yet taken

There have been improvement in the scores but I don't know if its because I am actually improving or because I've taken those tests already. I'm going crazy and I don't know if I should push back my exam or not. I really don't want to fail again! Am I on the right track?

How was it?? Many SATAS, EKG's??

I had a lot of SATA! 1 EKG, 2 drag and drop, 1 Pic, No med calculations and tons of other questions.

I hope you past..

*Update*

I payed for quick results and I passed!

were the SATA difficult or pretty easy

were the SATA difficult or pretty easy

To me, they were all difficult. There's always one answer that I wasn't sure of. I just went with my gut instinct for the most part and tried to look at each answer given as a true or false.
