I am about to give up, i took nclex-pn 6 times no success, i feel so discouraged and i am afraid to buy more exams, spend to much money already.

Did you use U-World prior to any of those exams?

Hi there,did you use U-world? Are you reading rationals? Sorry this is going to be a long post andI am not sure if it will help you in any way but here is my experience.
I graduated from nursing school 5 years ago. I had a good job. I was foolish because I never took my NCLEX. I wish I had but didn't. I am also a terrible terrible test taker. I have anxiety issues. All these years go by and now i am feeling bad because I see my nursing school friends doing a lot better than I am. I could have been way ahead in my career to but I didn't even try. Anyhow, I felt it was time for a change and applied to get my ATT. It took few months since the school I got my diploma from has closed but I was able to get and register for NCLEX. I had heard great things about U-world from my boss so I took the subscription. I also did few videos on Registerdnursern. I was getting 30% with u-world but after a week of about 200 to 300 questions I was getting 50%. I read all the rationals even if I got the question right.
I took my NCLEX earlier this week. Even though I did not study as much as I should have I just wanted to take it. Even if I failed I would have gotten over whatever fear I have about it. As I went into the testing center I had a lot of anxiety and all I thought I knew went out the door. I couldn't remember a single thing. I kept telling myself to relax during exam. Especially during the first 20 questions. I took about 50 minutes to answer the first 20 questions. I did not rush. I had to reread the question 5 to 8 times because I couldn't make sense of it. I thought I was doomed. I took the first break the computer prompted me to. It took me 4 hours and 45 minutes to answer 105 question before the system shut me out. I thought i had failed. After i got out I could not remember a single question I had seen just 10 minutes ago. I could feel my heart pounding. I kept checking breeze because I didn't know what else to do. After 45 hours of testing breeze gave me an option to pay for my license. I could not have been happier. I have always read that BVNPT takes forever to get back to you so I was shocked to see that it let me pay. I still have not gotten my official letter from breeze but my license is up. Its been 5 days since my exam. U-world did a great job at preparing me for the exam. The rationals were very good. Registernursern helped me a great deal as well.
I don't think I would have passed if I did not keep my cool during the exam.I did not think about if the questions is harder than the last one or easier because I know I would get more anxious. I just focused on the question in front of me. I kept reminding myself to breath and relax and to clear my head of any fear. Just focus on the question and what it is asking me. I did know the exact answer to any of the questions. I had to eliminate two and take a best guess. Now I don't know you but maybe you have the same problem as me. Maybe you are just very anxious and can't focus.
I would say keep your cool and keep going. If you fail this time try try and try again because you will succeed! I wish you best of luck! You can do it you just need practice. Don't try to read textbook because you will be lost. Just do questions and read rationals

I did buy Uworld once but i was not focus on taking my exam at that time. I will give it a good try this time a least two months to focus, study and practice because english is my second language.

Thanking for taking your precious time to answer me and share your experience with me. I really appreciate it.

I can feel your frustration. Please do not give up on your dream. You only need somebody that can guide you to the right path and I can help you.

Problem
Students focus more on getting the right answers on the Qbank than emphasizing on the rationale. I’m a international physician. I took all my USMLE and I used uworld for all of them and I can say it s the best Qbank.

Point :

I have been working with RN/LPN with different universities especially those who failed multiple times and I can say they see things different now.
I have a RN/LPN review in Queens. Please call me at 203 556 5529. We can work it out. I can guide you, set up a program for you, show you how to approach your test differently. Your life will change after you talk to me and follow my advise and guidance.

Thank you Dr Francois, I really appreciate your time.
I am living in Massachusetts, I am willing to take it again. I will be so grateful if you show me a method that I can use.
