Third attempt at nclex Tuesday... :/

[snk2503]

So I take nclex for the third time THIS tuesday.

The first time I tested was in July and failed with 265 questions. My report said I was above in Safety, below in Pharm and near in the rest of the categories. I didnt give myself enough time to study I literally studied all day for 3 days... I dont know what I was thinking.

So the second time I tested I used Kaplan on demand. Did all the question trainers except question trainer #7 because I ran out of time. I got a 61% on readiness test which is around a 92% pass rate. I used the study guide on here and a few questions from saunders. I felt really confident this time. Well I failed with 265 questions. My report said I was above in Safety and near passing in the rest, I didnt have any below passing.

This time I have used the Kaplan Strategies Book 2013-2014, PDA, Saunders Q&A, the study guide on here and PrepU. I have studied off and on for 6 weeks. This last week I have studied for about 3-6 hours a day. I have completed over 1000 questions and feel confident. I know my problem is anxiety so I went to my doctor and she put me on something to help. I feel less anxious about retesting but tonight I have started feeling anxious and am questioning whether or not push my date back. UGH.

Any words of encouragement and positive stories would be much appreciated!!! And most of all say a prayer for me, I could use all I can get! :)
