2nd Time Taking NCLEX...265 questions

Published

Hey all!

i took NCLEX-RN for the second time yesterday (8/17/15) and I had 265 questions again.

The first time I took it (6/23/15), I had 265 questions and I was unsuccessful. The first time I was near passing on every category except one where I was above the passing standard. To study for yesterday's exam, I did Hurst remediation (content videos and questions packet), Kaplan questions with a classmate who also didn't pass, PrepU, and the Saunders book for more question practice. I felt confident and much more prepared to take it this time around. I was surprised that I got 265 questions again but I am determined that this time is independent from last time and I'm not going to base my results on that. I'm from NC so the PVT does work, but I'm just going to wait the two days. I find out my results tomorrow I'm just nervous. I didn't feel like I did bad, I actually thought I answered each question to the best of my ability and what I thought was best depending on priority and what was safe for each client. Any advice or pointers anyone can give me I would appreciate it so much. My mind has been going ever since yesterday, just a little nervous about tomorrow. I really want to pass.

There IS no advice, no pointers to give you now: you are done! You took the test; all you can do now is wait for the results.

Good luck!

been there and done that, I know what you are feeling gone thru the test getting 265 twice and failing, then passed on 75 third time with a breeze.

you can do as many questions as you like, but will that guarantee passing. no. its all about the rationales, you understand those and they will help you understand other questions later, it helps in learning new diseases and there signs and symptoms.

kaplan questions are hard but rationales really suck because they barely tell you why you got it wrong. saunders does have good rationales though. you need to also understand your weakness categories and work on those
