Keep hope alive!!! You can do it!!! I do understand your feelings.I live in Florida and we have only

three chances to test and after that you have to be remediated.....Bummer. I guess some states

don't have a minimum.I have read where some said they are on their fifth or sixth time.Which would

work for me.Here remedial courses are $1500.Pray and ask GOD for wisdom and knowledge and he

will.He didn't bring you this far to leave you.You can DO IT!!!

I know how you feel. When I took the boards I was so nervous I litterally had shaken legs for the most part of the test. I was a nervous wreck.

When I was preparing to take the boards, Ive heard from others to do a lot of questions, so that is what I did. At my schools nursing lab, we had several programs that had questions and I did those. Then I also had Kaplan, so I just did the questions from there. I think the Kaplan questions helped a lot. When you do questions, analize how you answer the question. Do you cross off options, jump straight to the answer....how do you go about answering that question? One of the most important things Ive learned in nursing school is how to answer questions. That is really, really important. I knew this one student nurse who was really smart and had a lot of knowlege but for some reason she failed the class because of the tests. So just practice questions after questions after questions after questions..... If there is something you didnt know, review that and then go back to doing questions. I would even suggest you review how to answer nursing questions. There is information out there on this so definately look into that.

Also I had a review book and went through that. I didnt want to start studying from the textbook because I would be overwhelmed with information. So having a review book was helpful. I believe I had Saunders, but I am not certain.

Good luck with the exam and I wish you all the best!!
