Question about 'quick results'

In Florida, I recieved my results by mail in 2 weeks, and I agree, keep studying!

Yes, I understand that. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to know my weakest areas. It does help to apply that when studying. I would never concentrate on just one or two areas for my retest as I realize the question bank they pull from is huge.

pararescue, thanks for the info on mailed results :) I hope mine come as quickly.

As for my result. It took almost 3 week to get my result. I didnt pass the first time too and am going to retake it again next 2week. right now i'm just doing as much question as i can. I would have to say i'm doing at least 300 question perday.

I understand LuckieLadie, I am not sure about the quick results, however, I felt I was strong in some areas such as pharm and psych and the management of care got me this time. I will continue to studay all areas, and as you know, we get things you have never seen that studying just doesn't cover. I wish you the best, I haven't re-applied yet but let me know how it goes. :) We will get thru this!!!!

Well I've decided against even viewing the 'quick results', no need to pay to see 'fail' when I've already verified it. Right now I just need positive thinking! I hate feeling defeated. I mapped out a study plan for the next 5-6 weeks, involving content and practice questions. I feel like a wasn't completely confident in my content,:grn: but I know it's too short a time to focus on only that. So I'm touching on the important topics such as cardio, repsiratory, and endocrine. Two days a week I've dedicated entirely to priority questions and SATA questions ( my exam had SO much priority). Then I will do NLCEX practice questions throughout the week in my empty slots. The last week before my test I am going to do only practice NCLEX tests to set my mind in 'test' mode. I plan to do a toal of 1000-1500 questions a week. I also allowed myself to take Friday off to relax and renew as my library closes before I get home from work. Any other suggestions? I have La Charity, Saunders and Review's and Rationales NCLEX. Unfortunately I cannot afford Kaplan or Hurst. I also have to stop second guessing myself when I choose an answer...

Good luck py2010 on your retest! You can do it! :)

pararescue4 I'm filling out the application next week when I get paid, I will let you know how it goes. And yes we WILL get through this!

Sounds like you have a great plan! I will be filling out my re app as well. I cannot afford KAPLANS either but did get the book from the library. I did Mosbys but I felt it had too much on Mom & Baby. Def do priority, I saw alot of those too and know your drugs and herbals.....Most of the questions I find are alot easier than the actual NCLEX so I have ATI from school still and have been reviewing that for reinforcement of systems and drugs. I also have a had time sitting doing questions for long periods, so I am re-training myself to take more breaks. I think when we over study we lose alot. Also, try going back to basics, like nursing process and critical thinking from your books, this seems to have things I really dont remember from school! Wow! and yes, we will do it!

thanks, my test is coming up next week and i just cant wait to retake it again because i've been practicing a lot of question and going over the content material so i hope this time I will pass.

also good luck to you on your next retake and think positive.

I like coming to this website because I recieve a lot of support comments here. so thanks!
