Omg... I just failed for the second time

[mz.tessa]

I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAVE NEVER FAILED AT ANYTHING IN MY LIFE, BUT THE NCLEX:devil:. I AM NOT DUMB BY ANY MEANS... SO WHAT DO I DO? I AM ON THE VERGE OF GIVING UP. I STUDIED THE NCLEX:devil: REVIEW BOOK LIKE IT WAS MY BIBLE, THEN I REALLY TOOK MY TIME AND LOOKED OVER EVERY QUESTION BEFORE ANSWERING. MY TEST SHUT DOWN AFTER 5 HOURS AND 210 QUESTIONS. I REALLY THOUGHT I DID GOOD BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL APREHENSIVE ABOUT ANY QUESTION. I WROTE OUT 200 FLASH CARDS TO STUDY BY. I THINK THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE DRUGS IS WHAT KILLED ME. I AM LOST NOW. I FELT LIKE NOTHING I STUDIED WAS ON THAT TEST:devil:. PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO STUDY. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN TO A FAMILY THAT DOES NOT BELIEVE IN ME THAT I FAILED. I AM JUST GONNA TELL THEM ALL THAT I PASSED. THEN WAIT THE PERIOD I NEED TO WAIT AND TAKE IT AGAIN. I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY...:crying2::crying2:

That is good to hear. I keep reminding myself that this process will only make me appreciate my license more when finally get it. Now I am just taken it one day at a time one question at a time. Good luck!!!!

where would i go to find out my areas of weakness?

Some of the places that offer test preparation courses (such as Kaplan) offer feedback to the students that helps them identify their strengths and weaknesses. You would probably get better feedback with an actual face-to-face course (with the ability to have a conversation with the teacher) than with an online review only.
