My results came 2 days after I took the test. I'm taking a week or so off to clear my mind before I start reviewing again.

You should also get a letter telling you of the area(s) you need to focus on as well and hopefully that will give you some direction as to what you can improve on. For me I was close in several areas and below in Management of care so hopefully the book will help. I'm also going to try going to the library to study instead of my house even though no one is here during the day. Maybe I different setting will help!! I'm all about trying different things and mixing it up.

After having a couple of days to reflect on the exam. I like you wasn't sure how to approach this test for the second time. I feel like I have a very good understanding on the concept but I really suck at taking exams. I'm going to focus on LaCharity's Prioritization/delegation and assignment book and continue taking test questions. I felt like the most helpful thing to me was taking questions and reading the rationals. Know that this test is a standardized exam and it doesn't mean anything about us as a nurse!!! It sucks to fail but we're going to get it the second time and this is just a minor bump in the road. We can do it. Good luck,

I'm sorry to hear this. I am in the same boat as you if the PVT really does work. I'm having a hard time because I studied sooo long and hard. I used the newest saunders book/cd and a few other review books, kaplan. I would guess I probably answered 2000 questions. I think the hardest thing is the test turned off at 75 questions. I didn't feel like it was easy. I could tell the questions where getting harder (or so it seemed liked) I had SATA, alternative format questions. I just don't know what to think. I know I don't do well taking tests and this just proves it. I know I'll be a great nurse once I get a chance.
