Oh!! Okay, for some reason I assumed she took it then never went to take it again! Sorry!! Good Luck, maybe you can write to the BON and convince them to allow you to test!!

What isn't correct? I did graduate almost 7 years ago from a nursing program in PA and took the NCLEX and failed it (That was within a year of graduating)...then I didn't take it again until almost 6 years later.

Not sure if this is will help...but I graduated 6 years (almost 7 years ago) from Nursing school... I failed my NCLEX and gave up! Luckily, in Pennsylvania they allow you to take it after this many years. So could you take it in PA or would you have had to go to school here too? I'm really not sure how that works.

I have previously failed and now I keep changing my date because I am too nervous to go through the sadness of failure again!! I sure am sending you positive vibes!! Have you found out yet if you passed?? Crossing my fingers for you!

I have never got an email and I also have not had one of the letters people say they got in the mail saying what areas they were weak or strong in. I called the BON about it and the lady said... "Well, it was sent to you."

Have any repeat test takers tried NCLEX High Yield? I keep reading so many positive things about it. I browsed the site and it's almost $600! But a thread I saw on another site said she didn't pay for it and it still helped her pass on her 3rd attempt. So, I'm trying to figure out how this program works. $600 just seems like SOOOOO much money! Any advice is appreciated!

Congratulations on passing! Did you use UWorld and Mark K when you passed? I failed and am scheduled to retest next month and am a nervous wreck! Ugh. I am using Mark K right now and am wondering if UWorld will be good for me to try. I also bought LaCharity's book-Prioritization and Delegation... I do NOT want to fail this again!!

So, still no ATT from PA BON. It's been about 3 months!! How long has it taken everyone else to get one? I have emailed several times, not a single email back. I called almost 3 weeks ago and the lady only said... we complete the applications in the order they are received and it should be anytime now. Well, still nothing. So I called again today, There were 32 people ahead of me... I waited on hold all that time just to be transferred to someone else. That time there were 17 people ahead of me- I again, waited my turn just to hear the same stuff again! NO REAL ANSWER FROM THEM AGAIN! Does anyone know what I can do or who I could possibly call just to get an answer. Or do I just need to be patient and keep waiting? I assume that's what I need to do... Ugh. Maybe this is a normal time frame and others had to wait this long? The last update made to the PA licensing page was from April 22nd-- that is it. Nothing since then.

I am in Pennsylvania and have been waiting about 2 months for my ATT. I have sent multiple emails with no responses to any of them. I was able to finally get an answer on the phone last Monday and she said they have all my stuff and I should have my ATT in my email within the next couple days-- Its been over a week and still nothing here either. I figure if I don't have it by Friday, maybe I will call again and get an update... but I'm afraid if I bother them they will push my stuff to the back of the list hahaha! I hope you can get an answer soon!!

Well, I paid Pearson and sent my application for my ATT to PA in March. Finally on 4/22 the PALS website updated and said my application is pending review so I know they got...and I have emailed 3 times since then to get an update on it or to see if they need anything else from me... no response. I am a repeat test taker and it has been a year since I tested so the 45 days is definitely up. How long did your ATT take from Pennsylvania? Thank you!! ?

I sure hope you passed!! That would give me some faith in myself doing it again!! Fingers crossed ?

Damion, I did download and study your study guide, I also took notes on it. I tried to message you on here a few weeks ago but it says I didn't post enough or something. I also visited your website that same day, but unfortunately, I quit my job to focus on passing this test so I can't really afford anything extra at this point. I do appreciate the study guide and your guidance on this site! ?

Thank you guys for the support! It means so much! I have been studying quite a bit the past 2 weeks and I started Archer and bought the 60 day Qbank questions. I actually never did questions before so I honestly feel I am retaining information. When I get a question wrong, I read the rationales, then I write down the info in my own words in my notebook. If I still don't get it, I use Youtube to figure it out. This time around I have told NO friends or family- only my Husband that I am going to try this again. It seems to keep my anxiety level down and I have nobody wanting to take it before I feel ready. I did download and take notes on Damien's studyguide about 3 or 4 weeks ago ? Thanks for the tip! I have to agree, the questions actually do seem to help. I wish I had done those before. I keep telling myself, I got Max questions each time so if I could just get a few more questions correct, I will PASS! (Trying to keep the faith and confidence up!) Thank you all again for the help!

I am so desperate for someone to lead me in the right direction PLEASE! I graduated Nursing School a few years ago. I didn't make the highest grades, but I always stayed about my 80% that I had to. I made the mistake of working with my temp license for a year before I took my NCLEX--and I cram studied the night before and that was ALL... Needless to say, I failed. I got the max amount of questions...and I knew before I was even done with the test that I failed. I took a job in management at the facility I was working at on my temp license. Every single day, I wanted to be on the floor with the nurses and residents!! So... 2nd try at NCLEX-- I was foolish, yet again and waited OVER a year to test again. You guessed it, Max questions again and FAILED. (My own fault, again- I did study more than the first time, but I rushed it again- didn't do any questions and only studied content off and on for a couple weeks). So fast forward to 3 years later- I took it again in 2020- This time I listened to all of Mark K's audios and took notes on all. I created flash cards for myself. I knew I didn't feel prepared to take it but I listened to others that kept saying I was ready and I took the test again--and 3rd time, Max questions again failed. So here I am...determined MORE than before to pass this darn thing! I have again done Mark K audios, I have been watching all Remar videos I can find on You Tube and taking notes on every video. I also downloaded the study guide from this website and took notes on it. I just signed up for Archer today... This is truthfully allllll I think about. The minute I wake up, it's on my mind! I have now been studying for about 4 weeks and I have NOT told any friends or coworkers because I want to test on my time. Each time I took this test, I seriously felt like my heart was going to come out of my chest! I can't remember a single thing on my exams!! I had to reread every question multiple times because of my nerves. I am not an anxious person at all, but when I sit down for that test, I instantly feel overly anxious. (I am not saying that's why I failed-I failed because I was foolish and didn't study like I should) Can anyone please help me figure out how to properly study? I want this so bad!!
