math are considered lower level questions, but that doesnt mean they're a bad sign. they are just part of the question bank. your pass/fail status doesn't necessarily depend on the type of question, length of test, last question on the test -- but your performance! good luck!

i am on the same boat as you. took the exam FOUR times and still didnt make it. but please don't lose hope. like the other members say here, knowing that you've taken quite a number of times means that you really want this! if there's a WILL there's a WAY! WE can do this. just don't lose hope!

took the test four times, in this order: 76, 75, 123, and 75. didn't make it on all four but don't worry. the number of questions doesnt necessarily measure your pass/fail status.. it's how you answered whatever amount of questions you were given. don't worry yourself too much. just keep praying until you get your results!

it's a normal feeling to say that you failed the test.. don't lose hope until you get the official results. too much pessimism may be a bad thing! so keep your head up high, pray, and hope for the BEST, not the worst!

try and follow suzanne's plan. the sticky thread on top of the NCLEX discussion forum has all the instructions. i hope you pass on your retake! best of luck!

so far saunders + suzanne's plan is working wonders for me.. i'm about to jump into suzanne's second step and i'm really looking forward to it.

don't feel too bad. i took the test four times and didnt make it too. do consider suzanne's plan. i am on it right now and am very excited with my progress. give yourself enough time before retaking the test. not too much though, so you won't forget whatever you studied from your previous test. i wish the best of luck for both of us. don't lose hope!

i had 10 SATAs when i last took my test, 75 qs, but unfortunately didnt make it currently reviewing again and this time, using the new saunders book and i've been practicing a lot of my SATAs! and congratulations on passing RootedRedwood!

currently using Saunders (under Suzanne's plan) and so far everything is going well. :) I say that the more practice questions you go through, the better your chances are to pass. best of luck! :)

nothing should stop you! if a 90+ year old lady made it (check out Nola Ochs from Fort Hays State University, KS), why can't you? there's no age limit for learning! best of luck!

why not? i already married an RN, that's just a couple of extra school years less than an MD right?

i really don't see much of a difference at all.. i've worked as a CNA before and have been called nurses aide, CNA, and even patient care technician.

they say that the more languages you have under your sleeve, the better your chances are to land that job.. think of learning spanish if you live in the houston area. that will surely help a lot. i've worked in a hospital in kansas before where hispanic patients would arrive and nobody had a clue as to how they would deal with them (they don't speak any English). so it is a serious benefit for you, depending on your location that is.

if you had so much job switches, then a one page resume may not be able to explain all that. use as much pages as you need, but be sure to prepare yourself for explanations as to why you had a lot of changes in your employment. good luck!
