Just got home an hour ago and I cannot stop thinking about the test! I feel like I totally bombed it. I just kind of went blank. I didnt use any of the kaplan techniques. It seemed like all the Q's were new. I dont think I can stand to wait 48 hours! I was kind of happy when it shut off at 75 but Im worried it was because I did so horrible. They kept throwing in them horrible select all. Im really good at calc but got 0!

Re: Took NCLEX TODAY! Freaking out! Got 75 Q's, 6 select all no calc!

OMG! Did we take the same test or what? Same story here. What are you doing about your anxiety? I'm chasing my tail right now.
I cannot get any link on the Pearson Vue site even after following the instructions for Quick Results Service. Could it be they just aren't that quick to update?

What should I be doin?

Havent tried to get on the pearson site, but they wont put anything up for 48 hours from what ive heard. I just cant stop thinking about it! Its my fiances bday and all im doing so far is freaking out. I feel like i didnt know any of the meds either. I feel like I studied so hard for nothing because none of it was on there! Did you get alot of priority q's? Mine varied, id say like 30% were priority. But Im going to try to go out somewhere because I know just sitting here looking for the results every min is going to drive me crazy! Good luck to you! keep me updated.

I'm halfway in my workout duds getting ready to go to the gym. either that or throw up. Yes, my exam was exactly like yours!! as well as a few others on this site. Were the planets in alignment at 9AM this AM or was there a total eclipse or what? I just don' t know what to do w/ myself. I mean if I didn't pass it, the humiliation factor and need to earn money factor kicks in. if I did, well..RAH!

As for you and fiance. I'd suggest doing something high energy together. And play some terrific music while working out, bungie jumping, riding some amusement ride or whatever to get the nervous energy out of your system. By doing these with him, he won' t feel like you stole his thunder on his birthday. Because you need more support right now. You can always celebrate his bday in 48 hours.

Fingers crossed!

Hey - I just got home from my exam and I have been crying for the past hour. I think it was the most horrible experience I have ever had. I had 75 questions and I guessed on every single one!! I mean, I really had no clue, it was terrible. I had a lot of pharm and never even heard of some of drugs. A lot of priority, and select all questions. Im glad I spent so much time practicing med calc, because I didnt even get any of those questions! I took kaplan, bought 3 different books and I still feel like everything I was tested on wasnt anything that I studied. So, I am in the EXACT same shoes as you. This really sucks!!!

Re: Took NCLEX TODAY! Freaking out! Got 75 Q's, 6 select all no calc!

I am soooooo glad that I am not alone. I took my exam today and thought it was a pharm exam. I got sooo many drugs and did not recognize one of them.

My stomach has been in knots all day, i did kaplan q bank, the book, saunders, and more questions from other cds. When they say you cant prepare you really cant. If I have failed this test, I dont even know how to go about studying.

Good luck to all of us and pray for a passing score.

I did Kaplan, bought the NCSBN 3 week review, used Lippincott's NCLEX 3500 and still feel like everyone on this thread. So what do we do? I see that teh Pearson Vue website is showing that at least I took the exam. I've read on this site that some folks even know by end of day or next AM. So I keep hitting the recycle button. My boyfriend is a flight paramedic studying for his RN online, and he' s trying to get me to calm down b/c there's nothing I can do now. He's right, but when I hear him speak of his work and how he's just pacing himself thru the online work, I get so jealous. He's gonna ace his NCLEX withouth blinking b/c he knows the drugs, when and how they're used.

I purposely stayed home and studied FT so I would ace this on the first go around. Nothing I studied was on this exam!!!!! How can they judge me fit to nurse when they didn't even ask me a portion of what I need to know?????

As i look at these messages it brings back memories of what I faced last year at this time. I passed the nclex last june and have been working a total of one year with my RN degree. I remember how nervous i was after taking the nclex and working my self up for 48 hours constantly doubting my abilities and going online to pearson at least 8 times an hour to see if results were posted. I am glad I do not ever have to do that again. the agony and stress, My test stopped after 75 questions, I thought how can they know me in only 75 questions, Thank GOD i passed and you will to. Find something to occupy yourself and mind for the next 48 hours until it is posted (easier said than done) believe me I know. I will be praying for you and hope you get a little relief. Go out and do something special for yourself or work out that helps with the stress. Good luck let us know how you did
