So I'm absolutely certain I failed. I have been studying with ATI and Kaplan, passed nursing school with no problem but I know I failed my NCLEX this morning. This is the worst day ever! I went in there thinking that because I've done over 2000 questions I was prepared, along with reading the Kaplan book and doing ATI tests. I studied all day for the last week with content and questions from the qbank quizzes from Kaplan. The first 30 questions didn't seem bad, but then I just didn't know anything. I studied cardiac and respiratory drugs, not things like lipitor and fosamax (I didn't concentrate on those when I studied). I didn't have any med calc, mostly prioritizing and lab values and then it shut off at 90 questions!!! I felt like I guessed on so many questions. I was done in a little over an hour. I'm freaking out because I feel like even though I studied so much (I made sure I was getting 90% and above on my kaplan qbank quizzes before today) I still feel like a failed and I"m in the 15%. Seriously, an hour?! Please help I can't stop crying and feeling like a loser!

Try to relax and take deep breaths, I have read many post where people feel this way and have passed. Try to take your mind off of it and focus on something else until your results are ready, like watching a funny movie . Hopefully you have quickresults. Best of luck;)

I think everyone feels that way after NCLEX. Its totally normal to feel like you bombed the exam. Try to keep busy and catch up with family and friends and hope for the best. Chances are you passed !!! Good Luck

Just because you took around an hr doesn't mean you failed. I had 75 questions, and was done 40 min, and passed. Some people are just fast test takers. Hang in there!

Hi! Try not to worry so much. I have a feeling you did much better than you thought! Seriously, I just took mine on Monday and the computer shut off at 75. I thought FOR SURE that I failed. There were so many questions that I guessed on. I cried the entire way home and even throughout the day.
However, the good news is that I PASSED. I found out in 24 hours that I was okay and that I passed. So....do not worry..... things will work out well for you!
Good luck and keep me posted. :)
