That was by far the hardest test I ever took and it was NOTHING like the Kaplan questions I've been practicing for the past 2 months!!! I kept hearing how the Kaplan questions are sooo much harder than the real NCLEX, so I was stunned by how hard the questions were. I got ALOT Of meds, many I never heard of, MANY adrenal, kidney/dialysis, and delegation questions. I had to identify an EKG strip, I had about 5 SATA questions, and one where you had to put the answers in order.

It shut off at 75 and I just stared at the blue screen in disbelief until the survey came up. I am so overwhelmed, drained, and feeling very bad about how I did. I know that's normal but it's truly how I feel. My biggest concern is that I already have a job that I've been working in as a Graduate Nurse and if I fail, I lose my position, and they can't guarantee they'll hold it until I test again.

This is total TORTURE!

Re: Took the NCLEX today, what a whopper!!!

Try and think positive 85% pass the first time and most people feel that it is a weird test.
