how strong you are!!! you are doing the best thing by not giving up and staying positive about the nclex. i will be testing for my 4th time this october. i am now working on suzanne's plan, and i strongly suggest you continue with that also. you have made it this far!
it may seem discouraging, but you are not alone. you can do this and you will succeed. focus on studying questions and read and re-read the rationales to every question whether you get them wrong or right. study content, not just test taking strategies. best wishes to you. :)
p.s. remember this is just a test.

I hope you'll make it this time, keep staying positive, keep smiling... Just focus and devote time studying, focus on every content and give time on your areas of weakness.. Wish you all the best in achieving your RN license

Just keep up the POSITIVE energy. I am going to keep you in my prayers. The good thing is, you are a real fighter and since you want to be a nurse, then you will be. This is the last time for this test, because the next time you take it, your results are going to say PASSED.

How many times are you allowed to take it? Is there a cut off?

I am in Louisiana and we are only able to take it 4 times. The only review recommended here is the Hurst review. They have interesting ways to make you remember things that seemed so complicated. I also used the Saunders 4th edition for the practice questions. Don't give up! You can do it!! Remember those affirmations from Mental Health!

I also took NCLEX-RN twice and failed. I am with Vermont State and this is their policy:
If you have taken and failed the NCLEX exam one time:
Please complete this form and return it to our Office with a $30.00 fee.
If you have taken and failed the NCLEX exam two times:
You must complete a formal NCLEX review course. Please submit the curriculum plan (published
description of the course), your certificate of completion and a final overall score for the course
along with the retake application and $30.00 fee.
If you have taken and failed the NCLEX exam three times or more:
Please contact the Vermont Board of Nursing Office for information.
I am very hopeful that this is my last exam. POSITIVE THINKING!

I too failed on my 1st try. I made the mistake of going in the afternoon with a group from school. As not everyone will pass/fail with the same amount of questions, and everyone answers questions at a different rate of time...I paniced when 1 by 1 those I knew were done.
The 2nd time I went by myself, took a pack of Bubble Yum and chomped my way to a 75/PASS.
Now after 11 Years out of school and 5 away from pt.care...I find myself needing to once again take the test. If you have not done so before try Suzanne's NCLEX REVIEW.
GOOD LUCK ALL!
