I took my exam on 10/2/06 and no results. It sucks that the CA BON can take up to two weeks to process results. First time I had 265 Q's, this time I had 265 Q's AGAIN! I really felt confident answering the first 75 questions, but when it kept going I tried not to lose myself. I took my breaks, read each question carefully, used the strategies that I learned from Kaplan, and spent the same amount of energy and time for each question, all the way until 265.... I even remember my very last question because I KNEW I got it right.

For those of you who took it twice and had 265's questions again, how did you feel afterwards? I honestly felt worse than the first time, probably because I had expected to have less questions. My confidence level this time around was much higher, and I am counting on that feeling for positive results. I'd love to hear input!

Re: 2nd time NCLEX-RN, 2nd time 265 Q's

Hi,
I can relate. I just took the NCLEX for the third time yesterday! I am so scared to check my results tomorrow. I've done Kaplan/NCSBN online-also Saunders to prepare this time. My letters form the BON all said "near passing standard" ---On the 2nd attempt I was below in Pharm but I hardly got any of those questions. So I was very confused! Hopefully Saunders made the difference this time! I got 238 questions the first time, 265 the second, and 265 the 3rd??!!! I said prayers for us, let me know how you did!!!

Re: 2nd time NCLEX-RN, 2nd time 265 Q's

the nclex is formatted in a mathematical algorithym. as you answer questions correctly the forthcoming ones become more difficult. at the same time this algorithym is assessing your overall competency. the number of questions does not have any bearing as to how you did.

it is an anxiety causing event to wait for the results. do not rule yourself out. for now and until a more expeditous notification of results is established we must wait.

good luck.

Re: 2nd time NCLEX-RN, 2nd time 265 Q's

Good luck with your results!!!

Re: 2nd time NCLEX-RN, 2nd time 265 Q's

All my best to you!

Re: 2nd time NCLEX-RN, 2nd time 265 Q's

Good luck and be sure to let us know as soon as you find out. Just getting though the NCLEX is an accomplishment in it's self as far as I am concerned, but to do it 2nd is even a greater one.

The first time I took it I waited 2 weeks. I was on vacation and put my mail on hold in the post office and apparently received it when I was out, so when the big bin came I dug through the mail to find the big envelope (boo). I hope that I don't have to wait as long, but I shouldn't complain because I've heard stories of others waiting a MONTH!

Re: 2nd time NCLEX-RN, 2nd time 265 Q's

Hey Velvet126,

Hang in there.....I know what you are feeling. Any news yet? After 100 questions you get burned out. My first time I had all 265 questions and it sucks so don't feel bad. I too live in CA and got my results today. Not to discourage you but one of my friend waited a month and passed. I am praying for you...............
