Hello,
I graduated nursing school December 2013. I took the NCLEX RN for the first time in march and I failed. I just took the NCLEX RN for the second time to day and did the PVT and it took me to the CC page. So I am pretty sure I failed again. I did all the question trainers on and Qbank questions on Kaplan. I was feeling pretty good when I went and took my test. Now I don't know what to do to prepare to take the NCLEX RN for the third time. If anyone has any advice on how to reduce test anxiety or what study tools to use it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Danielle

I graduated in Dec '13 and did Kaplan as well. How did you do on the Kaplan qbanks and qtrainers?

Aside from Kaplan trainer I also used Prioritization by LaCharity, exam cram sheet and https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/infection-control-mnemonics-299890.html. These were all helpful to me and I took the NCLEX in 02/2013. I don't remember the exact scoring system for kaplan but I always aimed to score above 55. I did other question banks in between but I concentrated on Kaplan the most. Good luck!

Just dont lose hope... Everything happens for a reason but it doesnt mean that when we fail its the end of it, I believe on the saying delayed success... I just took the exam today also and got the good pop up, I agree that NCLEX is one of the Hardest exam that i have ever had, Every question will increase your anxiety specially if your unsure with the answers or your getting easy questions which we know on the below passing level, just stay focus and be positive with all the answers we are choosing because it will make us feel better through out the exam, and forget about the previous questions Focus on whats currently on your screen... : o)
