It was my second time.

I think this may be the case. I also want to reach out to you and help you. I don't know how you studied the first time. But since you know the content. It is more of doing plenty of questions and reading rationales everyday until the day of the exam. Once you have the content down, the best way to be comfortable is do hundreds of questions a day. Some people do 50 in the morning, 50 afternoon, 50 at night to retain better. It all depends on the person. I hope this helps.

Thanks Much! Keep you all posted.

AND THIS TO SHALL PASS!!!!!!!!! You will do fine next time. I must say that exactly the content you described is right. IDK if you did a lot of book studying, but I have noticed that people who do book studying as much as questions don't always do the best. All I did was all of Kaplan. I didn't pick up one book at all, and I answered 30 questions every two hours. My classmates that also did just questions passed. So I hope this helps! And remember AND THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

I'm really sorry to hear this, I know you have given so much for this. But yes, keep the Faith and study again. In God's time, you'll have your license. Unsolicited advice, study like you never knew Nursing for your next try - like a clean slate, then start again w/ content slowly, one step at a time then proceed on answering questions. In the sources you've used, which of them don't really helped you at all? don't use them again. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

Sorry to hear Tashy Mary Kay. This is what helped me. I graduated in May of last year and took my NCLEX test in the middle of June. I don't know if your school used ATI's? But I save all of the codes that we used during the year to go back and take those tests which were from every aspect of nursing. I also used an NCLEX-RN book and used the CD and took all of the questions and only did this a couple times a week. No need to do a bunch a day, I think it stresses some out more. I know it would me. People are different in how they learn. The day before the test I didn't do a darn thing and ate well and relaxed and then went to the test center and had the total amount of questions possible but I did end up passing. All luck and prayers sent your way! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

sorry to hear this and you studied the books that are recommended however, i suggest to stick to just one the whole time i studied i only studied from saunders read a ch then did the questions for that chapter then did 100-200 questions from the cd every single day and always always always read the rationales even for the questions you got right and helps tremendously! i wish you the best of luck and you def will have RN behind your name

It's so funny how the test can vary so much!!! I got like 2 endo questions, and that's my "specialty" since having Graves Disease! Talk about being bummed, LOL

Nurseadam · Mar 29, 2012

this is sucks, i'm sorry to hear that. I've studied those too, and passed, but you can do a lot about it.

NCLEX 4000 or 3500. take the 75q nclex style everyday

Take hurst, and do the kaplan trainer again

if you have saunders CD, go into a system everyday and do 200 questions

3rd is a charm, always believe in yourself !
