I just took the nclex for the third time and it stopped at 76. The first time it was 265, the next time it was 82. I feel there is no hope for me. I graduated with honors but just cant seem to pass the boards. I live in Michigan. Now I wonder what happpens if I didnt pass this time. I am so distrought.

So how did you do?
You have up to 6 times to take the test, not that you really need to take it that many times.
I didn't pass the first time and its no reflection on how you will truly be as a nurse. I had 265 on the first exam, second time around 120 and thats when I passed.
If you do not pass this time. I suggest N-clex review incredibly easy. Just do the questions on the cd-rom, about 45minutes to an hour a day. Puts your mindframe of how they will be asking questions. Best of luck

I stopped at 76 and passed..so don't think b/c it stopped there you automatically failed (trust me I thought that and spent the whole day crying!) Good luck!! i'm sending you good thoughts!
I hope you did well.
Otherwise, follow my advise, do your questions. Forget about pulling all those NClex books out and rereading all the nursing material you have learned. There is just no way to remember all of it. Do your questions.
1 hour a day.
