Oh WOW you're very far from Louisiana

In that case I would suggest purchasing the qbank from Kaplan or any other place and practicing hundreds of questions daily. You need to figure out how to choose the correct answer. Since you say you know the content then maybe the problem is with prioritization? I've seen a lot of questions that ask for most important, first, initial action.

Also, get the latest versions

Have you used ATI tutor?

If you know the content then it might be just how you critically think or test-taking skills. You know your stuff

but you might be having a hard time choosing the best answer out of all the really great answers.

Perhaps, you can get someone to help you break the parts of a question

with you so you can choose and focus on picking the best answers.

The Kaplan Strategies book is good I bought literally 4 versions of it & the 4th time it finally "clicked" in my head & I passed u should try it it's called "Kaplan Strategies for NCLEX PN" but in ur case u would get RN

[CYoungLPN, LPN]

Have u checked into seeing if u can take NCLEX PN? I know it's not a easier test than NCLEX RN but as u know a LPN is just a different kind of nurse u should see if u can do that see if u pass it then go from there because I believe after all the review u know the content. Have u maybe looked into meds for anxiety?

I used Hurst review and told all the nurses I precepted about Hurst. One nurse I knew while I was a PCT failed 3 times and got hypnotized and passed the 4th time. Maybe it is test anxiety.

O ok it's this guy in my area that teaches a class on test strategies & in our current class we all repeat test takers. One person tested for the 8th time Saturday & passed. The teacher has no nursing background he just teaches strategy. I'm the only person left to test. Maybe you can find someone to help with strategy if content isn't your problem.

@Danielle318

do you have any info about this guy who teaches the test taking skills?my main problem is test strategy. does he has a blog/page?thanks

I worked with a girl who took the nclex 7 times in 2.5 years before she finally passed.

Do you feel rushed taking the test? Are you having test anxiety? Is english your first language? Did you have any difficulty with exams in school? Are you getting the max amount of questions on the nclex?

I'm just trying to think of possible reasons why this is happening to you. It sounds like you're confident about knowing the content.
