I passed 135 questions later-second attempt!
What I Did to Prepare for the NCLEX — I Passed! 🎉😭
I PASSED MY NCLEX!!! 🥹🎉 After failing my first attempt, I wanted to share exactly what I did differently the second time because I know how discouraging that first “fail” can feel.
First, I stopped trying to memorize everything. I used Archer 75% of the qbank! I focused on understanding why the answer was correct and, more importantly, why the other answers were wrong.
📝 The biggest thing I changed
I stopped studying from a place of fear.
After failing, I was terrified that it would happen again. But eventually I realized I couldn’t walk into that testing center thinking, “I hope I pass.”
I had to walk in thinking:
“I am prepared. I know how to think like a nurse. I am going to take this one question at a time.”
And that’s exactly what I did.
I also prayed HARD. 🙏🏽❤️ Before my exam, I reminded myself that I had already done the work, and I trusted God with the outcome.
I ended up making it through 136 questions this time.
And when I found out I PASSED… 😭😭😭
After everything—the first failed attempt, the anxiety, the long study days, and all the times I questioned myself—I PASSED.
If you’re preparing right now and you failed before, please don’t let that first result convince you that you can’t do this.
Change your strategy. Learn from the first attempt. Practice how to THINK, not just what to memorize.
Your first result does NOT have to be your final result. ❤️
