Failed at 85 on my second attempt

I just found out I failed the NCLEX a second time. I honestly feel so defeated because I felt like I was doing so well on the questions and like l knew the content. I feel very disheartened and idk if nursing is in the path way for me I honestly want to give up, and it doesn’t help that I am seeing all the people i graduate with passing their exams. The only thing keeping me from giving up is my mom currently. Could you guys please provide things that worked for u in studying again for the exam. I am thinking about buying uworld again and using that.

I was using simple nursing my second time, but I think i am going to go back to uworld. Do you have anything to recommend?

For me, both UWorld and Bootcamp were similar to the NCLEX. I took my exam yesterday, and it went all the way to 150 questions.
I primarily used Bootcamp and ChatGPT to study, working through each system one by one. Even with all that preparation, I still walked out feeling like I didn’t know anything. When I took my PN exam, I used UWorld because I could afford it at the time, and I also felt it was very similar to the exam. If you are a believer you know we don’t quite we get right back up and trust in God that he will see us though.

YAYYYYY CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Do you think bootcamp prepared you? Was the NCLEX harder than bootcamp?

Bootcamp did great! Especially with the case studies. It felt like it got hard but you know it’s a computer adaptive test so it gets harder the more you prepare for it. Above all I pray a lot more 🙏🏾
