After doing 195 question; it's a fail

Published

I ran out of time today as I took my nclex rn exam! I got several select all that apply, and priority type questions. I felt really good about my answers! Got home and did the pvt, and it's a fail! I even took another review prior to this time. It was the Sylvia Rayfield's review which I thought her books were good and audio review. I even did the live review also. Not to mention Kaplan, and ABC by mosby's!!!! What in the world went wrong????? I am in soooo much despair right now!!!!! I did it all; and still wasn't enough!! How do one pace them self with all of those alternate format questions back after back???? OH, AND THE BEST PART WAS WHEN THE LADY AT PEARSON INTERRUPTED ME AS I STARTED TO WRITE ON MY ERASE BOARD. I FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS AND WAITED UNTIL AFTER THE TUTORIAL BUT FOR SOME ODD REASON THIS LADY CAME UP TO ME AND SAID THEY FROWN ON YOU DUMPING SO STOP IT!!!! DON'T DO THAT!!!! JUST USE THE BOARD INFREQUENTLY AS YOU GO THROUGH THE QUESTIONS!!!!!! SAY WHAT??????? WHY DO I HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN I GO THERE??????? I WILL NOT GO BACK TO THAT PEARSON AGAIN!!!!!! WILL HAVE TO DO SOME TRAVELING TO ANOTHER ONE!!!!! BUT RIGHT NOW I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT PUTTING MYSELF THROUGH THAT ORDEAL AGAIN!!!!!! THANKS FOR LISTENING; I NEEDED TO VENT!!!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I wont get discouraged yet... just wait until you get your official results. I know there are times when the PVT has been wrong. Lets hope this is the time it is. Good luck!

You just need to keep plugging away at it. You will pass as long as you don't give up.

with the lady interrupting you like that and saying you are dumping, what is that? what did she mean? how were you dumping? i don't understand that :madface:!! that would mess up anyone's concentration (totally). okay 4pancakes, you have come to the right place for help :up: everyone on this forum are wonderful and very helpful. you probably did okay on your test, you just have to wait for your official results like caliotter3 said. if you didn't do well, you will get it next time and at new location where people are not interrupting you on the most important test of your life right now that was just wrong!! it sounds like you are studying with some pretty good resources but because they made you nerves like that, that is all you could think of. i kept going to the same place to take my test and they just made me very nerves all the time, i couldn't concentrate. the first time that i decided to go somewhere different, i passed my test!! they made me feel comfortable at the new environment and they didn't get me all hyped up to where i lose all concentration of what i was really doing there. you can do it 4pancakes, go to a new location and write on your pad as much as you want :) without interruptions.

alot of people just use the saunders book (latest edition) rather rn or lpn and the lacharity (prioritizing and delegation book), it is for rn's but it sure helps with the sata (select all that apply questions) for lpn's also (helped me). also when you go and take the test again, if you have to take it again, try using the ear plugs, they tune out a lot of noise and distractions so that you can concentrate on your test. good luck to you 4pancakes, you can and will do it :).

Dumping is what they consider you going in and writing down a ton of information as soon as you sit down. Its like If I went in, sat down and unloaded all my lab values on the page right away.

well we pray that you did pass, but if you did not please look into taking the hurst review. they offer a 100% pass rate guarantee, the money back type of garuntee. the lowest % they have ever had is 98%, they are good, i graduated in december, about 25-27 out of 31 of my c-mates took the course and 100% has passed so far. this is the same for my schools last five graduating classes 100% for all. www.hurstreview.com they are simply the best in the business in my opinion, and i have saw the results. ohhh almost forgot it's 350.00, but it's guaranteed. please check it out!

Thank you to everyone that have responded!!! I checked my BON and it is a fail... I followed the written direction given at Pearson Vue. I waited until my test had begun before dumping my lab values on the erase board that they GIVE YOU FOR THAT PURPOSE!!!!! Ironic isn't it??? I have filed a complaint with NCSBN. I have requested that they watch the taped video and audio from my testing experience!!!! So, they can see there worker harrassing me for no apparent or legitimate reason!!!!!!!!!!! Go figure!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I definately want my testing fee back, or that lady fired!!!!!!!!!!!! I will keep yall posted!!!! Thanks for your ears and support!!!!!!!!!!!!!
