After a year of just siting and wondering, should I go retake this test? Can I really do this- not to mention, it is a little costy to keep failing it and the mental strain of thinking your the biggest failure in the world. I have been in healthcare as a CNA for over 10 years and a Health Support Tech School Nurse for 6 years, I can't let this beat me, I open for any suggestion's, thanks.

What an accomplishment, this is a great. Good luck to you. I hope to defeat this beast of a test myself- soon, and very soon. It's been almost a year since my first try and I need to just get myself together and try again before I totally give up.

Hello to everyone, I grauated my PN program December 07 and failed the exam March 08 here I am almost a whole year later from my test date, still shaken up, nervous, scared, disappointed with my self and ANGRY should I go own. I feel I let my family and friend's down, I think I left out the feeling of being ashamed. I cut off after question 85 I was sure that I did good, not a chance. I do not know where to start. How do I go up against this beast of a test for the second time? How do I prepare? What area do I focuse on most? I don't know, my confidence level is below at this point. I have tried to stay positive and motivated, I have all kinds of NCLEX-PN books including the Saunders I have all types of information, study guides, material from school; I reserched this test online............................I just need some real help & direction. This has to be the most hardest obsticle I have come across in my life. I am open for all sugestions(please & thanks!.) I have been reading up on Suzannes plan in hopes of giving it a shot, what do I have to loose at this point.

Hello, I am new as well I am a PN graduate and i have attempted one try on the NCLEX-PN and did not pass, I hope to retake soon. As far as the TABE I needed a 11'th grade level in the reading, math and English. Not to discourage I took the test several times and had to use many stradegies upon becoming successful. The math was most difficult for me. They do have a TABE test prep book it's abot 14-15 dollars. I did not purchase it; and yes, a GED book will do just fine. I ended up getting a math tutor as well as switching my test site for atmosphere change, breaking down each test subject one by one and testing on them on different days , and lastley requesting the paper test booklets rather than taking the test on the computer. It was an adventure however I did it. The NET test was not so bad I passed it on the 1'rst attemp-glad because that test in my area is 27.00 evertime you take it. I did get through the PN program Dec. 07 I just have to fine a plan to get me ready to retake the NCLEX-PN again and pass -good luck in your nursing career.
