Last time we talked about the first things you should do if you fail the NCLEX. Today we’re going to talk about what to do next.
Assessment –
Now you need to figure out the content that you might have had trouble with on the test.
Step 1 – write down all of the question categories you had on the test. Examples would be like cardiac, fluid / electrolytes, lab values etc. Highlight those you think you might have had trouble on. If you’re like me when I took the test, some of the questions you’ve already looked to find out if you got the right answer or not.
Step 2 – take some assessment tests. The best I’ve found is online from Saunders – but you can take any that you find, as long as they’re setup similar to the NCLEX test. I would recommend you take two or three. Don’t take three in one day, but one every day. Note your assessment results, you’ll probably begin to see a few trends.
I’m working on a spread sheet to help you visualize the results better and I should have that for you next week.
We have a program that is guaranteed to help you pass your NCLEX test if you failed it. Details can be found here.
