Don't give up!!! Third time finally was a charm for me. I also eluded students and faculty of my school because I was so embarrassed by not passing. I was devastated. I bought every book I could find. I did the hurst kaplan saunders and many other books. What I think that finally helped me, was that I just focused on the cd from the saunders book. There are about 2000 questions on the cd. They ask questions in different ways about the same subject. I also made flash cards with lab values. I didn't get a single math question either. Good luck!!

Try changing the test centre and relax completely . Another thing is marry the questions with the whole body system. Lastly Pray and annoit yourself with oil before you leave for exams don't tell anyone you are doing the exam just go and do it . I took above 2 hours to do 75 questions I felt I was loosing it at 60 but after the break I was ready to fight the NCLEX demon. So take the exam with it's horn and say to yourself " this is it I was born to pass and I will " when you click the answer believe it's right you will . Don't forget to take the KILLER ANSWER :)

I took my test last Wed and I too failed for the third time!! I have completed, Kaplan and Hurst. I have passed every study question possible by 75% or greater! I have taken a beta blocker and still cannot for the life of me figure out what else to do!!! I have my LVN license and have worked in the hospital setting for two years. I'm so devastated for failing yet again!!

I have to say, go with your gut feeling on the questions. So many times I thought that I should pick the question that they wanted to hear, but on this last test, I picked the answer that I thought was right. Even if it sounded ridiculous. My first two test, I had every single question, the third time it stopped at about 80 something. Good Luck!!

Are we twins? I am in the same position that you are, whats worse is that a majority of my family members have passed and I haven't. Stay Positive, I wont quit and neither will you. We will pass, accept nothing less! Good Luck and let us know when you pass!
