I just got my second failed attempt on the CN exam back and honestly I'm pretty demoralized. First time I scored a 68, this time a 71 — I need a 75 to pass. I've been using a CN study guide I found online but it feels really surface-level, like it covers the topics but doesn't go deep enough on the clinical reasoning questions that trip me up.
My biggest weak spots are wound assessment and nutritional support protocols. I work nights so my study time is scattered — maybe 45 minutes here and there, never a solid block. I'm wondering if anyone has found a CN practice test resource that actually mimics the real exam format? The ones I've tried so far feel way too straightforward compared to what I faced in the testing center.
I'm giving myself 8 weeks before my third attempt. Any exam tips from people who've been through this would mean a lot right now. Especially curious what score you were hitting on practice tests before you finally passed.
