265 questions and 6 hours later, I've been defeated.

So the first time I failed with 81 questions and felt prepared. I had read Saunders cover to cover answered over 4,000 questions and listened to Hurst audios repeatedly for 3 months. But soon realized I knew less than I thought. I was crushed, depressed..heart broken. After mustering up the energy to arise from my slum, I decided to give it another shot; this time with a different approach. I did NCSBN 3 week review, PDA, Kaplan strategies, Hurst and Feuer Audios and an additional 4,000 more questions on NCLEX 3500 in which I was averaging 65%ish. I feel like I've done everything under the sun to no avail. I even prayed more so than before. If anyone else has had a similar situation, how were you able to slay the NCLEX demon? I don't know what else to do since I think I've done all there is. :/

Well as everyone else said, DON'T GIVE UP. You may have to focus on topics you are weak in. The test has a way of working on your weaknesses. But for me ATI was awesome. I swear by it. My school offered it and it was included in my tuition so I do not know how much it will be out of pocket. But just keep at it. Good luck!
