hey there, i have been there, try to study with someone, or if you do have someone try someone else to give a better idea, someone who did really well, and tell them you don't want answers but you want to know how they are preparing for the test and if u fail which i hope u don't then take it over it will just make u a better nurse trust me my good friend fail the last semester by one point and the teacher would not give it her she was a great person also studied and always on time had all good grades she could not believe it to make story short she is now an RN in the ER and has everything under control i know because i took my grandmother there and she was not my nurse but made sure i had a room for grandmother and she was treated great. i failed twice my boards this is going to be my third time testing i had lots of problems i got pregunant and the i was bleeding and they thought the baby was not going to make, then they said the baby was going to have down syndome ,I got married had a baby boy, had a baby shower and my son was born and was taking from me hours he was born to be put in NICU because of hypoglycemia, then i after all me problems i had no baby sitter and was trying to study with the baby in crib, i finally got everything fixed and the baby is fine now he is 1 year and 6 months now and i have a sitter for him and i am doing everything different to study, try study groups but study with people that are prepare and go in prepared with study guides answered and read your chapters that you will tested on completely, trust me you pass and have a good talk with your teacher and ask her/him what does she suggest or where does she think your a going wrong, trust me have a great communication with your teacher and you will be surprise at all the help, teachers are here to help you and guide you, i never missed a day of nursing school i had really tuff teachers they did not play, but i always did everything and studied hard and with a study buddy, i hope this helps and remember to pray before you take your test. good luck any questions let me know i will be more than happy to help you.

NCSBN ? you pay online and they give 1,2, 3 weeks of information and questions ? i am also awaiting suzanne's second tip, i know lots of people that did the learning extentions and did very well i did 265 in the last test and fail i thought in my mind i had passed but i know now it was too easy, the harder the question and the more i feel i don't know the answer the better i am doing, go fiqure, i got the results and had all passing level none below, enough of the pass and now it's time for us to pass and not make the same mistakes. when is your test date? if u have one yet

thank you for your kind words, You need to just stay calm, clamp down and get back on track, and yes we all get grumpy about not passing but thank god that there is some really good tips on this website and nice people in the same boat, wish you well and suzanne's first tip is to take the quiz in the sanders comprehensive review and make sure you score 75%, if you do proceed to the next chapters if not read that chapter and make sure you score 90% after reading the chapter finish the book and the pm her and she will tell you the next step, good luck

thank you for your kind words, i am doing suzanne's plan which is doing the quiz on the saunders comprehensive review and if i do not get a 75% first time then read chapters and re do the quiz and make sure it's 90% the second time i take it, then pm her and she will tell the next step of her plan i have been reading the threads and it's worked for lots of people, so i am going to try and i my friend is lending me her helen feur cd's after i do suzanne's plan so i help this helps me, thank you for your support
