Taking NCLEX-RN (again) in 9 days! Best use of my time?

Hey all!

I failed NCLEX back in June- I took it when I was 30 weeks pregnant on less than 5 hours of sleep because of a terrible hotel stay (which I was actually comped for!). It kicked me out at 75 questions and I was completely in shock, then spent about a week crying.

I've been doing 50-100 questions on my NCLEX Mastery App every day and going through the content on Saunders. My overall progress right now is 67% correct. The good news is that I'm getting more and more of the SATAs correct and feel really strong in my critical thinking. I'm just (understandably) nervous.

I'm going to continue doing what I'm doing and studying MEDS during this last stretch. I'm just wondering if there were any last minute considerations I should make from you all who have made it to the other side!

For what it's worth, I'm generally a great test taker and my instructors were pretty shocked that I failed. But I think I was overly confident, so maybe it'll benefit me to walk in with a piece of humble pie in my belly ;)

Thanks!
