Took NCLEX and failed within 75 questions

Published

I took the Nclex about 2 weeks ago in which I failed. I felt as though I didn't take my time cause i finished the test within an hour. I got soo nervous and was just getting anxious on answering the questions and I know for sure I was over thinking about some questions.

I took a week off from studying, the second week I studied but not as much as I wanted to. Of course Im upset that I didn't pass, but at least I can take it again.. Im trying to be positive but im just so nervous for the next time I take NCLEX. I took the kaplan course, which I watched all the videos, especially the content several times and did all the questions. Q trainer5 61%, Q trainer6 59%, and Qtrainer7 55%. Cumulative score for Qbank is 62%. I have the Kaplan NCLEX RN strategy book, I did all of the questions in the book which averaged over 60%. I also have saunders but I didn't use this to study for my first exam.. Im planning to just look up info that Im unfamiliar with and doing the questions on the CD. I recently bought the PDA book and it seems challenging but it is very helpful. Im taking NCLEX next month.. just looking for helpful advice

Have a consistent study schedule and try to alternate/rotate your study material so that you will be used to a variety of questions. and reviewing the rationales are very important. make sure your scores improve as you go on with your review. i hope i could help a bit. also make sure you don't get too nervous the next time around. i'm sure you'll make it next time! goodluck!
