I also took my test yesterday and got the good pop up but my license # hasn't posted yet and I'm starting to panic. This is my second try and it feels horrible. Has your license posted? What state are you in?

I studied with lippincott book and scores were ranging in the 60-80's. I took the nclex yesterday and got the good pop up so hopefully that will be right! The best info I got from my DON is focus and go over your test taking stragities. Remember ABC's, Maslows, and the nursing process. Look for clues in the questions like (female, geriatric, asian etc). Ask yourself what the question is asking you and don't over analyze and add things to the question that isn't there. Keep it simple. Breathe and focus and you will do great. Good Luck to you!!!

I can handle the math questions. I hopw you passed. Good luck to you.

Thanks so much for all the help. I've been focusing more on my test taking strategies and decreasing my anxiety. 2nd test is in a couple of days. I just hope I've done enough. I also didn't tell anyone I wad taking it this time and I think that had helped my anxiety as well.

No I was below on three areas total. My nerves were so bad on test day. I think that could have helped in the downfall on the boards

Thanks for the resources. I will definately check into them!

Despite graduating with a 3.6 gpa, I failed the nclex the 1st time in July 2013. I passed my pharmacology class with an A and passed the ATI with a level three and can't remember anything. I dont' know what happened to that information! After a deep and long depression, I am starting to come out of my funk and I am currently studying with Lippincott's review but it doesn't have much direct pharm review. I really want to pass this test the second time around. The fear of failing a second is almost crippling. Any advise?
