is it true the more you take nclex the harder it gets please help i need any advice

[zowi101]

ok i took my exam dec 23 and its my 6th my first 2 i shut down at 75 yes you heard me 75 and i blame myself for it i did not gave my self time to study during previous exams i have this mentality before that if the comp stop at 75 then thats not too much it might give me questions from my reviewers that ive read then i might nail the exam i absolutely never understood nclex before im a foreign gradutate and everybody from here knows our chances of passing is not as good as the ones who got their nursing degree here and i have a 2yr old son turning three on march 4 who i think is sacrificing the most right now since i have to let him understand that mommy needs to study so i can be able to work for us and im just right by his side if he needs me while he is playing by himself alone so after the third try i was so motivated to pass but still did not make it but one thing for sure ive seen a huge difference on my performance i notice on my first three they keep giving me a lot of computations which i know i have not been dooing good on it previously, so on my 4th try i knew that the comp will defenitely wont leave me alone yet this time with computatons cuz i have not proven them yet i was good unless i get evey computations right on my fourh try and i was exactly right it gave me a lot and i was so armed this time that i was 100 percent sure i got evrything right even if it was asking me to round it off i sure know there will be a lot of infection control as well i printed out the thread that i got from here and it was so helpful priority and delegation from la charity i read lippincott from start to end i read it twice i studied that too but it seems like the choices i have in prioritizations seems to get harder and harder as well as some of the questions i took it several times that i was noticing the differnce from my previous exams i never went to a review school or online review i think it cost too much i self study but im almost giving up just the fact thinking what will be my next questions when i take the exam again overwhelms me so on my 6th try i studied with the same resources i have, signed up w ncsbn for 4 wks cost me 50 and did suzannes first tip only and i dont know how to post a thread before until my younger sister help me believe me or not i was just always a viewer of this site 4 yrs ago even when i was still on my country i always wanted to answer some nclex questions too from this forum but i dont know how i wish i was doing suzannes plan its free and ive heard a lot of positive outcome about her program but it was too late cuz i scheduled my exam already and it was not enough time if i do the second tip at dec 22 i went all the way to 265 i have no computations this time which i think because i have proven myself with this already and two select all that apply still a lot of infection control i counted the drugs i got like 20 medication question so hard this time it was not even common anymore not like on my previous i see really nclex common drugs i believe its really getting harder and i really do think im never gonna pass this exam anymore im just so so so sad this time and very heartbroken i slept at my friends house which is two hours away from my house her house is closer on my exam location i was lucky i got a ride to her house since i dont drive here i left my son to my friend he has two little boys it was freezing during those days and i just hugged my son tight and told him mommy will make it through soon i got up early on the 23rd since i dint wanna miss the first bus trip for my exam i sat down hoping to stop this time at 75 but it did not and i kinda knew after that i would go all the way to 265 and it did without computations but with a lot of infection control and medications drugs that where not common anymore not like before. it was in the 100 something that it just started giving me a few prioritizations which i am thinking this time that i failed againn i dont know if i passed yet i just checked the cabon website on the 24th and the 25th after that i stopped viewing im assuming that i failed already i am just waiting for the mail to come.i dont know how to stood up again this time since ive done it sveral times but i sure do hope soon this door will open up to me. goodluck to everyone and keep studying

does it mean that i should not keep my hopes up anymore for passing the nclex? since its getting harder for me:crying2:

But is the *material* getting harder or are your nerves making it *seem* harder??

I wouldn't give up, zowi....but I'd try to get some confidence in my ability to PASS. Whether that means you have to study more or study harder or in a different way, I don't know. Only you know how much effort you've put into preparing for this test. I will say I believe attitude makes a huge difference in whether or not we succeed. If you're convinced you can't pass, then you've set yourself up for failure.

Tell yourself daily, "I can do this!!" Study religiously everyday...do your KAPLAN questions, study Saunders, do Suzanne's plan..whatever way you decide to prepare. Then go into that test center armed with the knowledge that you're ready to succeed!!
