I have taken the NCLEX twice! The first time...I studied my butt off and took the HURST Review. I have really bad test anxiety which is what I feel hurt me the first time. I had 80-something questions and failed. The second time I took the test was today! I tried to do the remediation the HURST offers and HATED it, so I had someone show me the Kaplan decision tree. I studied, studied, studied, and did tons of questions. I managed to keep my nerves in check this time, for the most part. This time I got all 265 questions, I took all of the 6 hours. I don't know if my mind became fatigued or if I rushed a bit, or if I just didn't know what I was being asked. I came home and did the "pearson trick" aaaand it happened. I was allowed to register and pay (though I didn't, guess I have some subconscious wish that the trick was wrong). I was wondering if anyone has any advice, suggestions, good resources to study, etc.... I know I am not the only person who has had to take this test more than twice, but getting those results was such a kick to the gut today..
