I went to take the nclex this past tuesday. I felt confident going in, i studied my butt off and i thought i had it!!! After 3 and 1/2 long hours and 265 questions I was feeling okay. I waited an hour before trying the Pearson Vue trick and i did NOT get the pop-up. I was feeling frustrated and stupid! Found out yesterday that I did not pass, which is heart breaking and truly shatters ones confidence but i prepared myself for the results because I tried the Pearson trick. I am not sure where to go from here. I took a month and a half to prepare for the nclex and did an endless amount of questions. I completed the Kaplan Qbank questions which an average at the end of a 58% (which according to kaplan if you get a 57-65 you are good), i read the kaplan book TWICE, i did the entire saunders book, a mosby nclex book, and the nclex mastery app. Throughout all of these questions i would read the rationales even if i got the questions correct. I have no idea what else i could have done in order to prepare. I felt that the nclex questions were so much harder than kaplan and i felt that it was impossible to use the kaplan strategies on the nclex questions. I know I am not the first person to fail and I won't be the last, which is keeping me going. Not everyone passes on the first time, its a horrible feeling but it happens! I just don't want to fail a second time!! Any words of wisdom, advice, tips are much appreciated!!
