NCLEX Fail in 75 questions

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I recently took the NCLEX and when I came out I felt somewhat confident but still thought that I was going to puke. I had 75 questions total, 10 SATA, no math, and numerous delegation questions. Based on what classmates had told me about their NCLEX experiences (almost everyone that gets 75 questions passes, if you get lots of SATA questions, that is good=higher level questions, etc.), I felt that I had passed the test. Came home and tried the PVT only to let it take me to the credit card screen, I was crushed and kept hoping it was a fluke in the system and that when I paid for my unofficial results I would have passed. 48 hours later I was able to check my unofficial results and sure enough, I had failed.

To prep for the test, I took the HURST live review class which I felt was very comprehensive and scored relatively well on the Q-tests provided (scores ranging from 82-91).

Wondering if anyone else had an experience similar to mine or knows of anything that I may have been mislead on regarding failing in 75 questions. Thanks!

Hi

I took the exam last friday and it shut down at 75 items. I found out i failed by quickresult. This is depressing. I used the kaplan questionaires given by my friend as my review materials.. I applied for new mexico. I hope I can apply again, retake the exam and pass.. I cant afford to enroll in a review center coz i am currently employed. All i can do is review after my work.. I realized i can only answer up to 30 questions after work, after that Im dead on bed.. im planning to buy the kaplan strategies and read this every after work atleast two hours.. This very frustrating.. i cant focus because i also work during daytime and get tired after that.. i lack the time.. Help. I dont want to waste the money i spent for the CES and eligbility.. i want to retake so it wont be wasted even i spend again for the regstration and scheduling in PV. HELP.

If I were you, and if Kaplan offers it, I would take a pre-test and see where my weak areas were and work from there. It sucks to be tired all the time. Perhaps you can try only working part time while you study?

CES is the credential evaluation report done by CGFNS prior to the eligibility by the BON.. CES is $350.. Im currently downloding some mp3 of Kaplan for my content. I think i really of the content as i were only answering questions 30 per day 2 months prior my last exam.. Im planning to listen to it while working in front of the computer, i hope i can absorb everything.. Then after work, i will read the kaplan and answer questions every after topic, atleast two hours a day (I hope i wont get tired easily). I hope the mp3 will work for me.. This is the best plan i can come up with my situation. Working and studying.
