Lights went off During RN-Nclex!!

Updated Aug 01, 2007 at 11:37 AM by nurseuback

Hello everyone,
Took my test today, started storming this morning, my test was at 9am. After 3 hours into the test the lights went off and stayed off for about 2 and a half hours. We had a chance to reschudule or stay if they hadn't come back on in 30 minutes. It was either finish the test today or take it in September. The lights came back on around 230pm and 15min later in the test it cut off. I had a Kaplan class and the test was way over my head. I felt like Kaplan didn't help me at all. I did all the question trainers, over and over. The questions were 3times harder than Kaplans test bank and Q bank. I don't know what to recommend, but Kaplan isn't it. I felt confident on how to anwer the questions but they were just too hard. I struggled through every question. I even had a question of which person you would see first, it had a drug with the signs and symptoms listed in a, b, c, d and it wanted you to pick the one first by the way it had the signs and symptoms. I tried using the abc's but I was like lord help me. I had about 10 medications I didn't have a clue about and about 5 select all that apply. I prayed for it to shut off. There is just no way to prepare for this exam. I am so frustrated right now. I don't see how anyone passes it. Its just the luck of questions I guess. Good luck to you all!!!!
