I did practice questions every chance I could get, sat aside about 2 hrs every night and studied for a bit and I also had several review books: hurst review, exam cram, kaplan, general nclex etc. A couple times I review my previous notes from school. Another thing: I tried staying calm going into the exam and didn't have much anxiety while taking the exam but afterwards and the wait was the worst! Good luck to all. The pamphlet they gave me at the testing center said historically about 85% on people pass the first time.

I'm still yet to see my results on pearson. When I left the testing center they handed me a pamphlet that had a number on it and you can find out the next day, I'm from VA. I dont think it's actually on the website for a few days.

As far as how I felt after the test, I felt like it could have gone either way. My heart sank when it cut off @ 75. I guess deep down I felt ok but still felt as if there was a chance of failure still. I'm sure everyone feels like they fail when they leave. It's definately harder than any test i've taken before. But I studied my butt off for about a month before. Also my last class I took before I graduated was med-surg so some of that was still fresh in my head kind of.

I had several review books: 2 hurst reviews, kaplan, exam cram and general nclex book. I studied about 2 hrs every night and doing questions as well. Post when you know you passed! (Think positive thoughts)

Its amazing, my favor teacher is from VA, anyways I did study too, not as hard as you did. I did the Kaplan, and through out the nursing school year I did N-clex nursing made incredible easy, nclex3500, Medspub (the class and test), HESI test twice, Saunders, Linppincok. So in total I did about 3000 questions but nothing was like nclex except for Kaplan that was identical and I wish I had done more time on it. I never fail a test in class and our minimal was 80% but I do have a terrible test anxiety, but again I was pretty calm taking the exam, but I didn't expand much time taking it. Because I felt if I don't know I just don't know so I had to guess a lot. :bluecry1:
