I passed Nclex with 90-110 questions


I took my boards Monday (8/11/08) and I was positive I failed. My computer shut off at around 90-110. I'm not sure because I didn't look after 80 or so. I had in my mind that everyone who I've ever spoke to that took the test got 75 and passed, so when my computer didn't stop I freaked out and a bit of a panic attack. I was so stressed while taking this test I could hardly stand it. I hardly remember any questions at all. We'll after I go home I started looking at the board of registered nursing hour after hour and I counld not eat or sleep. I was so sure I failed I was read to call a recent job offer I received to say I'm sure I failed. The only thing that got me through the last few day with any hope at all was this website. I read stories similar to mine and it gave so comfort to know I was not alone and just because you didn't get 75 and have your computer shut off you failed. I FOUND OUT TODAY AT 5:55 AM ON THE BRN WEBSITE I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I promised myself if I passed no matter what I was going to post this information on this site, so maybe it will ease the anxiety this causes so many people. It is hard to wait for results, but it is possible you will pass because I did. I felt like I failed for sure and was so upset before I even found out for sure. Thank you to everyone and I hope this will help someone who is going through the same thing. A special thank you to the posts of others who helped me get through the last few day of the worst stress I've ever had. Even worse then nursing school. I can't believe I'm finally an RN.

CONGRATULATIONS!! I am so happy for you!! I'm not quite in that stage in my nursing career yet, but I know how you felt thinking back when I took my LVN state board exam.

I'm about to enter the Fall semester of my LVN-RN program. I will be going through the same thing you experienced about this time next year.

What state and city do you live in? I'm in San Diego,CA. Congratulations once again!! :woot:

Kaplan kicks your BUTT, which I think in turn helps you out tremendously. By the time you finish about 1000 Kaplan q's, you are good to go for NCLEX! GOOD LUCK!

Yes, I am on cloud 9 right now. I am still in shock because I was sure I failed. I live in California and they do not have quick results. It took 3 days to receive my result, but it felt like 3 weeks. I wish I would have joined this site when I was in nursing school because it has great tips that I think would have helped. I did Kaplan, and now that I've passed I would say it helped, but I think I should have also tried Saunders because I read from other posts it was helpful. I think Kaplan is great to help you specifically for Kaplan, but you have to stay focused and rememer to use their decision tree that they teach you about. Most of all stay calm how ever you can, and take a brake if you need it. I would suggest only looking at the time you have left or the number of question you are on only when you take a break. Otherwise, it may stree you out. I think because I was paying so much attention to what number I was on and how many minutes I've used I stress myself out after my computer didn't stop at 75. Again, my best advice is prepare but don't obcess. You need to be relaxed going in there and you do fine. Best of luck to everyone waiting results and those who will be taking their boards.
