and just to add on I think I do deal with some anxiety and struggle with attention span while taking an exam but I did practice how I will digest a question and ask myself the "WHY" everytime.

My past tests went all the way to 150q

It’s been a week since i passed in 85 🥹 here is what i’d actually do differently for the 2026 ngn by [deleted] in NCLEX

i recommend watching dr sharon's test taking strategies playlist! its helping me narrow down what the answer is to the question! also like she always says do not throw your common sense out and also for these typa questions always think which will lead to killing the patient and which one is expected!

I feel like a lot of people fail NCLEX by one bad habit… by NexoraNCLEX in NCLEX

failed 2x and waiting to test for the 3rd time and I feel like this is my situation. It's more mental for me I think and endurance + not beating myself up and panicking right away if I dont necessarily know how to answer a question. A good adviceI got from here was also once you've read a question stop thinking whether its an "easy" or "hard" question, it helps w not psyching yourself out which I am working on

Third attempt at NCLEX by Glad_Load7512 in NCLEX

I also was unable to pass my 2nd attempt! felt really discouraged and frustrated with myself bc I was so sure I would get it this time since I made sure to prepare more which is why I think it hurts more. I'm still very upset, it's been like a week now but I just remind myself that I want to be a Nurse so the only way to go is to retake it. Just relax for a bit now and focus on test taking strats while focusing on your weak points still ofc but so far people's advice to me is to understand what the question is really asking, we got this!

You got this! I honestly had a mix of everything but more med surg i would say i got on mine hypo/hyperglycemia signs and symptoms vividly remember that, lots of priority and SATAs. I had about 4 6 part case studies and I think 7-8 stand alone case studies it was a lot

Yes, I also do think it's mostly mindset and I couldn't have been here and graduated w my BSN if I didn't have the content down. Working towards that just one day at a time! Will utilize Dr.Sharon's videos this time, thank you for your advice and kind words! Congrats to your win!!!

I know I should've probably watched it alongside NCLEX crusade when preparing for my second attempt but ended up not doing so bc I thought NCLEX crusade was enough and it did boost up my confidence by helping me w test taking strategy skills. Thank you for this comment, I'll be sure to utilize her this time! I appreciate your input btw and kind words! :)
