Passing NCLEX-RN

Published

I have taken the NCLEX-RN exam a few times and have been unsuccessful. I'm looking for suggestions on how to pass my board exam. I have taken the Kaplan review course. I don't want to give up but i don't know what else i can do as far as reviewing for this exam.

ANy idea what is the problem? Test-anxiety? That is usually alleviated by feeling prepared. Knowledge deficit? The only way to cure that is study study study. If you need help with test-taking strategies, ask the test center at your school. They may have tutors or helpful info. Believe me, they want you to be successful too as you are part of a statistic regarding the nursing school. Talk to the Dean at the nursing school to get advice. Reach out and ask for help from someone near you.

Thanks classicdame for the reply. I think my problem is a combination of both. And i have reached out to friends but they have already passed the exam and put it behind them, that its difficult for them to help me. Hence it has made me reluctanct to reach out now. But i will try your other suggestions. Thanks again.

Today I took my test and it was a rough start.. I was there early and I didnt have the Authorization To Test letter! I had the wrong print out. I went to the libraby and printed all what i thout emails from Pearson Vue and went back to the site..Again not the right one..I called the 800 number and I was told that I had to forfeit but that it was up to the site if I was to take the test..I had them resend the letter to my email and I was able to printed after I had to become a member of the library of that town (1hr30min from my hometown). I went back to the site and handed the letter and I tell you I must of had angels watching over me because I was told that I could test! 75 questions and 2 1/2 hrs later I was done...After all this I hope and pray I made it. Moral of the story never leave home without making sure you have all the CORRECT paperwork to bring to the site and proper ID.
