Repeat test takers...does it get harder?

[Leonardo Del Toro]

The statistics show that if you have to repeat the test your chances diminish. Why is that? Is there any changes on how the test is given for successive tries? Does it get harder every time you try? Your chances should increase because you have prepared more but they don't. Does anyone know the answer for this question?

Do not be discourage we will get through this and with good study habits and knowing where our weakness are we will soon become RN. I too failed on my first try with the nclex (which was just last week). I cried for a couple of days but I knew I had to get back up and try again. I was a little apprehensive when I knew that I had to retake again after April 1, but I know that I will pass on the second time around and so will you...what are you differently to study?
