Hello all! I took the NCLEX RN yesterday July 26th, 2017. The exam shut off at 75 questions and took me 2 hours 20 min. Immediately after finishing question 75, a message popped up on the screen asking me to complete NCSBN research questions (only given to a select number of test takers). The message stated that the questions would not count toward my results, however, the question #'s add up from 76 to approx 89. The time kept running as well. I was calm during my whole exam, however, my heart started racing as soon as the research questions appeared.
I have been checking Breeze and have not received any results yet. I know the Pearson Vue strick really works, but I am too nervous to try AGAIN. This was the 5TH time I sat for the NCLEX RN by the way! I used the Pearson Vue trick every other time and it proved I failed. But this was the ONLY time I felt competent while answering each question and thinking it through critically. And the ONLY time it shut off at 75. I am trying to be patient and praying that I see my name and license number posted on Breeze very soon. I called the Board of Registered Nursing to confirm that it can take from 3 days to 6 weeks to post on Breeze (if I passed). Your thoughts & prayers are appreciated.
