don't give up. i too, have been having difficulty with passing the exam. unfortunately i have been talking myself out of taking the exam again; nerves of failure overcome me! however, i am taking a new outlook to this and am determined to conquer the nclex!!!! from what i have been reading, suzanne's plan seems to be the way to go. you should check it out, but don't give up! you've worked too hard and long to throw in the towel!
