Thank you for the advice. I have done some research already, and I intend to do more before making any decisions.

I am unsure. All I know is that many of the states offer more than three writes. The Ontario Union has asked for the Ontario board to consider unlimited rewrites as many students are struggling to pass the exam in Canada. When I started the nursing program I was interested in coming down and nursing in the states.

Yes I did have test anxiety in school. My program like many others across the country, prepared us for the CRNE which was the previous exam used for entry to practice for RNs. Many of my fellow nursing peers are struggling with this exam as well. I am debating on just coming down to the States for another rewrite. I refuse to give up my dream of being a Registered Nurse.

We can only attempt the test three times, but you can apply for a fourth rewrite, if the board feels that it was circumstances such as anxiety, death in the family, etc that caused you to have problems with passing the test. I am strong student academically and I know my material. I think it is the format of the test and the questions that really get me. On practice tests I was scoring anywhere from high 50's to mid 70's.

Hi there, Sorry to hear that you failed as well. It really sucks that we got this test thrown at us without preparation for it. I have been using uworld as well, I find the questions have been super helpful. I am also at a loss as to where I need to focus for studying. I also have a tendency to second guess myself or overthink the question. I hope others from the website will post some helpful tips that can benefit the both of us.

Hi there, I have used saunders, kaplan, lippincott's Q&A review, and uworld. Do you have any suggestions on other good resources? I am debating whether I should just pay the money for hurst review or passpoint, but I'm not sure. I like practicing with questions, I feel like I know the content well, I just tend to over think questions or second guess myself.

Thank you! What did you use for study materials? I definitely have test anxiety, I have used multiple study tools and taken readiness exams that say I should be passing the exam, yet no luck.

Hello everyone, I am from Canada where this year was the first year the NCLEX RN exam has been administered as our licensing exam. I am a student who graduated the program with distinction. I worked my butt off for four years, and now I'm stuck trying to pass this exam. I have taken it three times, wrote the full 265 questions each time and ended up right under the mark. I'm devastated. I love nursing, and I'm determined to not give up. I have used different study materials, but I'm just lost on where I should go from here. Any advice from multiple test takers?
