I took my states boards last Tuesday (6/17/2014) and found out that I had failed. I know that there were a lot of things I did wrong. #1 - I didn't do many practice questions. I took the HURST live review and that's all I studied. Unfortunately, that only helped me on maybe 3 of my questions. #2 - I allowed my anxiety to get out of control. Literally, I had a full blown panic attack on the way to, and during my test. I had a job lined up and was already working as a graduate nurse, but now that I've failed my Boards, I have to re-apply. My manager is doing her best to unofficially save my position, but now I'm REALLY feeling the pressure to pass on my second go around. I've seen a lot of threads about how people have failed 4 or 5 times before passing, and honestly, that freaks me out even more. I am hoping for some tips, tricks, hints, suggestions, anything that I can do to improve my chances of getting this evil test done and over with. I am currently taking the HURST remediation course, which is helpful for content, and the Saunders 6th edition for test questions.
