Well the time has come and its this Saturday But I still feel I am not ready. I am still scoring in Saunders about 65-70% and in Kaplan online Qbank-60%. I just feel sick to my stomach and I am studying everything again. I just feel like I should reschedule and not take it now. Or should I take it and if I fail just take a review class or try Suzannes plan? I dont know do you guys think I am ready, I dont feel like I am ready, My grades in school were C's and I do have experience with patient care but I am not book smart and I know this test is about book smart. I dont know, I feel very insecure right now, I have already reschedule this will be my second time, I just feel like I letting too much time pass I graduated about 3months ago. What should I do, should I just take the test?
i am in the same dilemma as you are! i just rescheduled my exam for the 4th time! im really anxious about this, and im usually one of the most relaxed test-takers. there's so much pressure 'cause i graduated top of my class and everyone's (literally) just saying that if the average students in my school were able to do it, i obviously can. its just nerve racking to have so much pressure on you.
but im just gonna take the test on saturday and try to do what everyone says: relax, do your best and pray. good luck!
i rescheduled my PN-NCLEX like 5 times before i took it (and passed). now i'm about to take the RN-NCLEX this month but i can't reschedule due to the fact that i'm moving to CA at the end of this month, so i HAVE to pass. it's stressful!! it's always nice to have the option to reschedule, so take advantage of it and take the test when you're comfortable :)
Good luck stellar jess and everyone else. Well guess what guys I did end up taking this test. It was I think honestly I made it worse. I mean I was very nervous but I just started to get so nervous that I was more alert than ever. A girl in who went in first was crying before she started and made me nervous. So I asked the lady right before if I can stretch. so I did. I probably looked very silly to her but hey who cares Right! SO I started to stretchh and did breathing techniques and then I went through those double doors. I used the sound proof muffs and I fixed the computer to my comfort and adjusted my seat and off I went. Oh yes before I clicked I said a prayer that really helped. I got only 86 questions and it shut off and I was in there about 1hr and 30 min. I took snacks and water nope never got a break. I was shocked and my heart was pounding so bad that I could feel my pulse through my chest.I was in shock. I did not want to speak to anyone untill I arrived home. Although I did throw up a couple times when I got home. So now I wait and I am still studying though because you never know. I have to wait 4 weeks cuz of CA Boards for LPN. GOOD LUCK Everyone thanks for the advice it did help me. I just had to test I thought if I dont do it now I will never know how it really is like. I had to face my fear, I dont really mind now to take it again but the fear of not knowing the nclex was worse thing ever. GOOD LUCK!
