Yes, unfortumately you do need to pay another $80 to the board to be eligible again. It sucks but at least its not another $430 that we had to pay the first time around.

I am also from mass and I failed my first time too. I got 265 questions. You will get a paper in the mail telling you how you did in the different areas of the exam. You will need to call the board and make a payment for $80. I called and the next day I recieved my ATT via email, but a friend of mine failed as well and it took a week for her ATT. No, there is no limit on how many times you take it as long as you wait 45 days in between each time. I did the Kaplan review and took it a week after. This time around I am doing Saunders and the Kaplan questions again. I know it's hard and you are going to feel like a complete failure (because I do) but you just need to go through the stages of grieving and put your nose to the books and keep studying. You will pass this test and you will be an awesome nurse! Don't be to hard on yourself. Take a week or two and go get your mind off it, do something fun! YOU CAN DO THIS!
