took nclex 14x still failed

Published

I have done everything I can to pass this exam books, classes, time, quit working etc. but still no luck. i really feel hopeless now and very ashamed of myself as most of my junior friends have come to pass the exam their 1st and 2nd time. Really don't know what to do now

Did you mean 4 times? How have you been studying?

Don't give up! My friend failed several times and finally passed. You can do it.

I didn't know you could take it that many times. Test anxiety maybe? Perhaps your PCP can recommend some things if this is the issue

I had a friend who failed multiple times and it was all b/c of really bad test anxiety. Her doctor prescribed something to help and she ended up passing!! If it is test anxiety for you then maybe you should talk to your doctor. Have you been doing well in all of your review courses?
