Third attempt

Published

Specializes in Med/Surg.

I scheduled my third attempt for the 25th. I feel I need to push it back further because I really don't feel prepared..I don't/can't fail another time and my anxiety is getting the best of me. I have been getting very frustrated and losing my ability to concentrate after I do practice questions that I don't do very well on. I don't know what I am to do or how to not be so scared. Any suggestions?

Push you date back and make an appointment to see your doctor. Maybe he can prescribe something for your anxiety.

How many questions did you get your second attempt? And what have you done differently? I would reschedule if you arent feeling prepared you have taken the test twice before so you know the drill. Make sure you are ready. I will be taking my 3rd attempt soon as well

Have you done a review? I suggest doing that. They are quite helpful.

I did a Hurst review before my second attempt. I feel it helped tremendously, but I obviously still failed. The first time, I got all 265 and honestly I had almost no sleep and I found myself not critically thinking.. The second time, it shut off around 208. It was loaded with priority questions. I felt ok during the test, but broke down when I got to my car.

Along with my Hurst review, I used some Kaplan questions, ,my ati tests from when I was in school, nclex mastery and lippencotts. I guess I just didn't study quite enough.

I am in huge financial difficulties right now and simply can't afford to pay for another review. I am trying to use the resources at hand.
