Think I failed for the 4th time

[tiggershadow]

Hello all, I am new to this site, but have found comfort in the kind people I've read... I graduated nursing school in May 2004 and took boards for the 1st time in June, got 75 questions and thought I was good to go. Well, apparently I sucked so bad, they put me out of my misery-and theirs. Since then, I have taken it in Sept, Nov, and just yesterday. All three times I've all maximum amount of questions, well, except in Sept, I ran out of time! But they extended the time to 6 hours just for me!! LOL. Anyway, I walked in there yesterday feeling very confident--I mean, I've been there 3 times before I should be a pro by now, right?! I had positive thoughts the whole time and kept telling myself that I was going to be rewarded in the end. Well, of course I had 265 again, but didn't get distracted by that at all...planned on doing that anyway. But as I was driving home I kept thinking of some of the questions I had... I had some topics pop up like 3 or four times--same question just reworded. What does that mean? I was thinking I must have gotten it wrong the 1st time, so I picked a different answer the next time. Well, when I looked up the info when I got home, my 1st answer was right and I am angry that the stupid test made me 2nd guess myself. Why would the test ask me the same question pretty much if I had already gotten it right?! Is it Trying to fail me?? Has this happened to anyone else on their exam? So at this point, I am thinking I failed it for the 4th time and I need to pick a new career...If anyone has encouraging words or any kind of insight at all, please share. Thanks!

I'm sorry..I don't recall seeing your post the first time you posted it. I find it hard to respond to all the new introductions and all the NCLEX postings so please do not take it personally. I'm very happy you passed, especially after reading your past attempts. I guess in your case the 4 th time was a charm! :chuckle

Congratulations!!!! :balloons:

Congrats on passing. Please don't take it personally that you got no responses to your first post - many people (me included) simply missed it in the volume of the board. Sorry.
