Believe me there were times when I wanted to walk away from it, but I had it in my head that nobody or nothing was gonna beat me down. I studied non stop, every where I went I had my phone answering questions from the nclex mastery app. I cannot even tell you how many rationales I wrote down even if I got the question right...I feel more knowledgeable now and confident than I ever felt before. Keep your chin up. I would be willing to send you the book I used if you can email me....I know the struggle I will help anybody out that is going thru the same thing. [email protected].

So to EMT, RN, AND ETC....who,posted that there was a so called rub about the test being graded twice.....well guess what, you may have thought you shot my hopes out of the sky with your post, NOPE. YOU DIDNT. QUICK RESULTS ARE PASS. BOOM THIS GIRL IS AN RN AND DAM PROUD OF IT. I busted my butt to get and no one was gonna change my mind that day. I know how I felt walking out of that test center that day. A lot different than the previous times. Yep it took me five times. I can bet you I know a smidge more than some of them. You know what 1, 4, 13 times doesnt matter hiw many times you take it. Your still an RN.

Yes the name of the book......test taking strategies by saunders. There are other ones available but based on reviews this one I believe is better. So glad I purchased it. Just wished I would of purchased it way before the fifth attempt.

I purchased the book on Amazon....it is a tremendous help. I recommend it to anyone who is not a good text taker like myself. When I left the test center o felt so much better about myself and the test itself. Nervous only because fear of failure again. But I kept feeling positive. And repeating in my mind ABC's, maslows, nursing assessment. I wish you the best of luck

I did not do u world.

I bought a book that helped me tremendously . I am not a test taker by far. Test taking strategies by saunders I believe is the best book I found. It teaches you how to break the questions down. I truly believe this book helped me pass my boards. Makes you look at the questions in a whole different way. The techniques in the book were not taught to us in school. The book was 32 dollars or you can buy used or kindle version. Believe me it will help tremendously. Remember ABC's, maslows, nursing process.

Thanks for shooting all of my hopes rigbt out of the sky. Your great

I had a lot of sata. Only two med math. No hot spot questions. Four questions that you had to put in order. Not very many maternity or med questions. Alot of teaching questions.

So I started at 8 am this morning and finished at 141 questions.. I wanted to cry. I was hesitant on doing the trick because of it being wrong for me before. I did do the trick and it states that I have an open registration and no further testing could be scheduled. Is this the good pop up? I sent it to friends who did get the good pop up and they said yes. Just very nervous

Did you pass

So very nervous. This will be my fifth time taking the exam. I have done so many questions reviewed content. I am so worried about medications. Any pointers on how to remember them. Mnemonics do not seem to work for me.

Thanks for the tips. But does anyone really know the feeling of failing four times. It is the worse feeling ever mentally. I work full time midnights, trying to juggle time to study and sleep. It is a constant mind game. Then you have to listen to people post on here. Four times, guess you better change your career. Have they ever been through this, I can guarantee you they haven't. Until they walk a day in my shoes, then keep your negative comments to your self.

Thanks for the advice

I have used Kaplan book, NCSBN, Saunders, Mosbys. Every possible choice I can think of. I used the test taking and strategies book from saunders and Kaplan. Its always near passing. I have had 75 questions to 265. And always get let down. So discouraged. I'm not sure I even want to attempt it again for fear or failure again.
