Took NCLEX 2nd time.. Think I failed. Need help/advice please....

Published

Hi everyone.. I graduated in May with my BSN in nursing.. I took my nclex for the first time 2 months ago and I sat for the whole 265 questions in 3.5 hours and did not pass. I was at the passing line for almost every category when i got my results back from pearson. To prepare I did many nclex questions from Lippincott everyday for a couple of weeks before the exam.

When i found out i failed, I signed up for the Kaplan classroom course. I attended every class, I did all 1300 Q bank questions.. I studied many hours each day for the 2nd exam.. I took the rediness exam and i felt very confident going into the exam this time, when i did not feel confident at all going in the first time.

I took the nclex again today for the second time. I got cut off at 75Q after 2 hours. I took my time and read every question twice because the first time around I went very fast and rushed after I got to 250.

I tried to do the pearson VUE trick today 30 minutes after the exam and it brought me to the credit card page to let me re register.. Did I really fail?!?! How could i go from close to passing to totally tanking after preparing so much more?!?! I felt really good walking out of the exam today. I really hope I did not fail. Someone please give me hope and/or kind words and tell me the trick is not always right!!!! I feel so down right now!!! I will get my results on thursday to find out for sure.. but someone please tell me the trick is not always right:banghead::(:dead:

ps- PLEASE leave me advice here for anyone who took the test more than once and what put you over that pass line to get your RN!! I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP AND FEEDBACK.. THANK YOU
