Hi everyone! I took the NCLEX the other day and was out in 75 questions, positive that I FAILED. I'm a striaght B student so I was sure I wouldn't get out in 75 and pass... I thought I'd be closer to 150 questions. After bawling my way home and continuing to cry to my Mom on the phone, I started googling and looked at this site all day. I read just about EVERY post on here about 75 questions and passing and failing. So for others who are in that same boat, here's what my test looked like: about 5 SATA, 2 "put in order" (and one was so easy.. basically there's a fire so I ordered them according to RACE), 1 med math, a couple pharm, 1 "read this EKG" strip, and then a lot of "priority" or "who can you discharge first"? I don't remember there being many delegation questions. I was so positive I failed because I didn't feel like I got that many SATA or delegation and at the very end, the test wasn't hard. One of my last questions was basically asking what beta blockers do. I freaked out. At 74 I was begging for my computer not to be shut off, but after 75 it went blue. I panicked! I never did the Pearson trick because I was too scared... but I did call and get my results within 48 hours. So for all of you out there waiting that DREADED 48 hours, dont worry!!!! You'll be okay.
And to those curious: I had been doing Saunders and had memorized everything HESI-related bc my school requires that to graduate (also, I failed that the first time with a 755 and passed the second time with a 1042). I also took the Hurst and on those quizzes I was getting nothing over a 69%. Hope this helps!!!!!!

I took it yesterday and felt the same way as you!! 75 questions and good popup but not sure I passed. Did you do quick results? If so, how long did it take? I completely agree this site psyched me out. I almost rescheduled and would have if my friends and family insisted I didn't. Thanks for this msg. P.S. my name is Rachel too =)
