well, I just took the test about an hour ago. I stayed in the test about 2 hrs, and it stopped at 75.

I was praying to God that I would only get 75q, wether I passed or failed... 75q so I wouldn't be tortured to 265and fail

I studied for 3 months. I studied kaplan for the most part. I used their test taking strategies.... and felt that thru the test I was guessing.

when the test got to 75 and turned off.... I got so emotional and started to cry. and when I got to my car I started bawling..... and I called my friend to tell her that I failed.

I'm sure that I failed the exam. I "eliminated" 2 answers and picked the best out of the 2.... and when I got at least 4 SATA I kept thinking "ok, this goes with that, that goes with that.. that doesn't go with that"
I got 3 maths... and 2 of them were really hard because it had to do with weight.

I have never ever felt this horrible about a test in my life. I know for sure that I failed the test.

the questions were easy to understand. that is why I am feeling super sad. The answere were actually pretty tough to pick out.
but I made sure to make a good educated guess... or so I thought. But in the end I know I failed.

Now, if I do fail... this will be my last post here on allnurses.com

If I pass, I would like to share the celebration with all of you who have supported me and thought about me on this forum....

So long everyone, and I wish all of you the best wishes and best of luck! you will be awesome RN's and LPN's!!

Re: saddness

Geez don't give up.
Most feel confused after taking the NCLEX. Trust me on that one.
You sound very down are you sure it is only the exam that has you feeling as you do?
I think hanging around here is great medicine!

Is it realistic to be positive about life, when there is so much trouble and strife in the world? Is it realistic to expect the best of yourself, and to expect the best for your own life? Is it realistic to expect that the future will be bright and full of joy?

Absolutely. In fact, to live positively and abundantly is the most realistic way to live. Reality is overwhelmingly abundant. Think of all the energy contained in just one day's worth of sunlight. Think of all the beauty that comes with the change of each season. Think of all the incredible possibilities wrapped up in a single life.

Yes, there is some darkness in the world. Bad things happen. And the reason we hear so much about them, is because they are the exceptions. On the whole, life is positive and abundance is a reality.

Don't be blinded by negativity. Be realistic. See the limitless possibility for good in your life, and live it.

Wow! when I heard my classmates pass at 75Q, I thought that it was great, that they shouldn't worry....
but it is so different when you are actually going thru it.
I can't believe I was very down on myself here.
THat test is so tough, I am so glad that I prepared with Kaplan for it.
I was allover this boards and even wrote "if the airhead could pass than so can I"...... well that person, said about my friend who failed at 265Q "well, I am glad that B** failed" my friend was so hurt by that. why would anyone say that about anyone??

it's thursday now, and I feel great now. thank you for being so positive!

I passed, and it feels great.

I know not everything is fool proof, but I was really down on myself because I studied like an animal. day night day night.... I neglected my baby, we hardly went to the park or chuckeecheese... my poor mom had to work 2 jobs and take care of my 1 1/2 year old...
I've been wanting to be a nurse for the past 7 years... and what I wanted to much... down the drain at 75q (I thought)

Now I can finally pursue my RN career.

(I'm gonna be working in a peds hospital, so now I have to pass the peds math test or else I don't have a job! yikes!)
