I suggest focusing on answering questions and reviewing the rationales to the questions you have answered incorrectly. I would also suggest reviewing the test-taking strategies as outlined in Saunders. What materials/software are you currently using for your studying?
Im using Saunders the 4th edition green book and ATI,I downloaded an app to my cellphone with questions and rationals that I do from time to time.I also have a lippincott book with lots of questions and rationals in it

I would do q's and rationales..and the part that you are unsure I would write them out and go to your reference for further explanation..I also failed my first time..and going over my content thoroughly this time around by using Hurst, and using Saunders/ATI/NCLEX 4000/LIppinncott for only q's...If you feel 100% CONFIDENT take the exam...that is exactly what I am doing this time...Best of luck..GOD Bless!!!...:):)

If you are having trouble in a particular area, definitely answer questions on that topic and try to clarify on things you were unclear about.
You're hitting two birds with one stone that way.
Answer as much ATI questions as you can, it's level of difficulty (in my opinion) is relatively close to the NCLEX.
As you answer questions, take note on which questions you get wrong, and review that particular topic. Doing this boosted my confidence and made me feel like I'm covering a lot.
