Ok, so I took my exam yesterday (NCLEX-PN) and it shut off at 193. Now, I'm reading all these threads, and articles over the web, and listening to everybody's advice...and I' am just killing myself inside! Ok, so my test went from 3 fairly easy questions to harder ones, then to difficult, then some easy and then hard again. But it went back and forth a few times, and by the end, I had really difficult questions and I'm not sure if I did answer those correctly. So my husbands got me all worrying and I feel like I failed since I had so many questions that were difficult and I'm not sure if I got a lot of them right. =(**** And 193??! I have never heard anyone get that high up and especially not even getting all the way to 205 at least!!! Oh lord, I failed didn't I??!!!!?

Re: Ok, now I'm going crazy!!!! Someone plz help!!!

Try to relax and avoid overanalyzing the exam. There are several factors that make it impossible to determine pass/fail from a person's description of their own exam. Keep in mind:

- that both passers and failers get ~50% correct
- that people pass and fail at all numbers of the exam.

Good luck to you. Let us know how it turns out.

Thank you so much for the advise and I definitely will! I pray I pass and I pray that all the others waiting pass too!!! With all the schooling and crazy days in clinicals, we deserve our license!!
