3rd time taking the crazy test

lavender rose · Jul 7, 2007

I took my test today for the third time. (It was terrible) I am scoring 97-99% on my ATT test and still finding it hard to take the test. I had been going to Charlotte, but this time I went to Tennesse. Everyone said go to another state it is easier. That is CRAZY!!!!!!. I did not feel good about any of the past test and surely not this one. First test cut off at 253, second test cut off at 143 and this test cut off at 130. I must be really bombing the test for them to cut off that early. I can not remeber my last question so therefore I can not look it up. People had told me if you get the last question correct you passed. What is this Suzzanne 4 study guide everyone is talking about. Since it is Friday July 6th I will not find out my results until Tuesday July 10th. I am going to go CRAZY!!! :angryfire

Yeah let us know if you passed this CRAZY test! I'm taking this test again the 23rd. Any advise for me that you or any would think help, even if its something I already know it is still good to hear again;)

It is beyond me how they do this test. I study everything the ATI says I am weak in and darn if on the test there were stuff I never heard of. Sorry. Can't remember a question on there

You failed this 3rd time? Did you get your results already?

How exactly have you been preparing for the exam?

Keeping fingers crossed for you!

Yes, failed three times. I did a review from Sylvia Rayfield and also 75-100 question Mon-Fri. I do not know what I am doing wrong.

I am sorry to hear that. Do you think your anxiety level maybe the culprit? I know I have terrible test anxiety and it hurts me-I worry too much about many things and can't be as cool as others.

Have you tried Kaplan or Suzanne's plan? THere is a sticky in how to contact her about.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Maybe you should take a break from studying to relax and clear your head before you start studying again. You probably need to find a different way to study. How many times are you allowed to take the test before they cut you off?? This is my worse fear that I will pass nursing school and fail the exam. Also about taking the test in another state, I heard that was bad cause even though we are all taking the same test, it varies from region to region because of the "lingo" and the qualifications by that states board.

Hi there,

Keep your head up, you WILL be a nurse, you need to think positively. Ever here of self fullfilled profficy (sorry my spelling is terrible).

I recommend you use saunders CD and go under Client needs as those are the four categories on teh NCLEX test plan. Good luck and I am very sorry you are having such a hard time.
