What time of day did you take NCLEX and do you feel like it made a difference?

Published

I am curious because I am going in for my second test and the first time in June I tested at 8am and failed. Not saying that was my determining factor,but I am normally not a morning person at all. I retest in 14 days and chose a later time of 2pm. I plan on doing nothing the day before,relaxing and getting a great nights sleep. The day of I plan on having coffee that morning,going to my eye appointment(yep I'm as blind as a bat)eating something YUMMY from my fave place WHOLE FOODS for lunch(their hot bar,Italian blood orange soda,cookie monster gelato,and salad bar are AMAZING!!!) and reading over my 35 page study guide and exam cram quick sheet in the car.Totally going in this thing prepared vs. All over the place my first try.I'm not as scared this time around because I know exactly what I'm facing. So yea do you guys feel the time you chose helped or possibly hindered you?All replies appreciated:)

I took my exam at 2pm because I'm not a morning person either! I think it helped tremendously because I was able to wake up at a decent hour, get myself ready and relax a little bit before I had to head over to the testing site! Lots of luck to you
