I am so confused, lost, hurt, sad and overwhelmed. I almost just want to quit and never look back at nursing. I took the Hurst review and I got a book of flashcard questions before the first NCLEX test I took. I failed miserably,75 questions. So I studied harder. Some girls that took the test before me gave me their Saunders, Kaplan, NCLEX 3500 and Exam-Cram cds and books. I did over 100 questions per day and I based it on my weak areas according to the BON results paper they mailed to me. I spent all SIX HOURS there at Pearson and ran out of time, I answered 236 questions and I FAILED AGAIN??????!!!!!!!! I don't know what else to do. I struggled there for six hours up and down, up and down. I was so confused. I didn't know what they wanted. I tried to use all the strategies and Maslow's but it was like I couldn't figure it out and the way the questions were worded didn't seem like the answers fit or they gave parameters that weren't the same as what I learned in the practice questions????? I was fighting back tears for the last two hours during the test knowing I was unable to stay consistent and get above the level needed to pass. Everyone else that I know who has taken it from my program has passed in under 90 questions. What am I doing or not doing????? I did good in my program and I got a 96% on the End of Program. I was scoring 79-80% on the practice tests. Someone anyone advice?????????
