And the wait starts...

Published

I took my NCLEX-RN this morning at 8am... I was done in under an hour and the computer cut me off at 75 questions. I have never doubted myself so much and questioned every choice I made. I had so many meds that I had never heard of and diseases that I question if they are made up. I had about 18 alternative form questions. I am now waiting on my results... with any luck I should be able to call tomorrow morning to get my results. I dont think any amount of practice questions can prepare you for this test... your nerves, etc. I do know that I was scoring very well on all the practice tests and most times could figure out the answer... I had a handful of questions that I could use test taking stratergies on or even general knowledge to solve. Fellow classmates and friends (already RNs) have been trying to reassure me that getting cut off at 75 questions is a very good sign and I really should not be as upset as I am.

Good luck to all my fellow test takers out there!!!!!!!!!!

I also took my exam at 8am today! I had 75 questions, too, but I have NO IDEA how I did. Every question seemed so random to me. I got alot of SATA (18) and alot of meds. Only one calculation though. I really have no idea how I did so I'm just going to have to wait and see.....

I managed to stay busy yesterday... but when I got home I couldnt sleep... so I have pretty much been up all night worried sick over my results. I have already tried calling the hotline and I get told that there is no license for my information. The website was already updated this morning... but it takes 2 days for info to show up on that. This waiting is killing me..

Keep a positive attitude. I took mine today at 2pm, and I thought everyone was joking when they said that you can't really study for this exam. It really is much different than the practice tests and school, but glad s over. I too am waiting for the results, and I'll be at work tomorrow to keep my mind off of it all. Some things I hadn't heard of, and received 10 SATA and 2 med calcs. For the things I wasn't sure of, am hoping that they are part of the 15 throw in questions :) good luck and stay calm...

Best of luck to you.
