Re: How many times did you take the NCLEX before you passed?

I passed it once with 75 questions. It seriously only took me about 40 minutes. I'm not the kind of person who agonizes over answers. I figure I know it or I don't, and beating myself up about it is going to make matters worse and me more anxious. (I already have test anxiety) I think tests in nursing school taught me that my gut instinct was usually the right one when I was trying to decide between a couple of possible answers. I took a review course which helped. Things in "NCLEX-land" as we called it don't always happen the way they do in the "real world" *grin*

My fiance took it once, it took him 5 1/2 hours.

The preceptor I had when I started my current job took it twice, and she is one of the best nurses on the floor.

Good luck with nursing school!

Re: How many times did you take the NCLEX before you passed?

once 75 questions. took me about 45 minutes too. I started the test with the following questions are practice. so I am going along and must have missed the part where it said your test is starting. I started freaking when I got to about 50 questions thinking oh no then when it shut off at 75 I was so worried but passed; thank the lord
