Second Attempt

[Sewalm]

Hey everyone;

Yesterday I wrote my NCLEX for the second time after being unsuccessful the first time. Major learning curves but I enrolled in the Kaplan course and felt a little bit better going into the exam.

I got kicked off around 140 questions and feel so uncertain that 12hrs later I tried the PVT and got the good pop up. In my mind it's false hope because of how early I did it. But just curious if any other canadian nurses have tried out the PV trick ?

Word of of advice for all you guys out there studying; take your time. Looking back on it now I feel like I rushed and took the first date available when I should have given myself more time. Relax and breathe during the exam and don't forget to take breaks. I found that in my second attempt I took more breaks and it just allowed me to refocus have snack and then keep going. I did not wait for the two hour mark either for the first break.

Good Luck to everyone and happy studying.

Congrats! I believe I took 2 breaks during the 3hrs I was there. After I took Kaplan, my exam shut off after 149 (2nd attempt). I used 3 white boards and I passed.

Good luck

I passed and the PVT works here in Canada !
