Wondering am I studying too soon

[STRAWBERRI]

I recently failed my NCLEX PN exam on Oct 18,2013.I was crushed,depressed,sleeping all day,crying etc...I have already selected my next test date again for Dec 2013 which I was shocked because I was told I couldnt re-test or reschedule for 45-90 days.I could have picked a sooner date but I chose not to.I never ask for anything for Christmas but this year Im just asking to pass this exam.I have already started studying and Im wondering if Im studying too soon.I really want to pass this time so I decided to read 2 chapters a day in all the subjects which is very time consuming but Im actually understanding things better.Im just scared that by the time its time for me to take the exam that Im going to forget everything because Im starting too soon.CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE IM LOST

Focus on your weaknesses, I think when you got your previous results it should have feedback on the topics that need work. If so, focus on those. My study cycle for the nclex usually looked like this

Practice quiz-> evaluate results-> picked 3 of the weakest subjects based on that one quiz(ex. Cardio, infection control, labs) -> read up on those subjects, making sure I understood and not just memorized the content-> take a quiz based on those 3 subjects-> reevaluate -> If satisfied with the results, move on and take another general Practice Quiz (if not, repeat step 4)

I know, it's a long, confusing, and difficult process but that's how I got by.

Every test is different but one thing for sure is that the nclex will give you a hard time on your weaker topics. I wish you the best of luck.
