Hello, Allnurses members! I am taking the NCLEX for the second time after 4 long years. I know, I know.......I should have taken it sooner. The thing was, I didn't want to go through the pain of not passing again. I read Saunders comprehensive review and I am doing practice questions. I only got 79% on one of the tests I took; I am now getting 68-69%, which scares me. :crying2: My exam is on April 13th. I am praying that by then I will be getting 75% on my practice exams. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Don't worry so much about your scores. Just keep doing practice questions and study the rationales for both right and wrong answers. Wishing you good luck.

The fact that you've not given up shows your determination to become a RN. Wishing you good luck on your test date.
