hello all,
I took the NCLEX yesterday and the test stopped at about question #98 (not sure of the number was not looking). actually yesterday seems to be a blur I cannot remember anything I was so anxious that I really don't remember using any of the Kaplan tips I learned. Now I am really upset with myself I passed all of the Kaplan test trainers, I did all of the classes and I really do not think I passed the NCLEX. I am so depressed right now I have been crying since yesterday. I went through a lot to get to this point and fail the NCLEX. I am now trying to think of another way to study for the next time. Can anyone help me with some tips, thanks.

First off, CALM DOWN! Breathe.:icon_hug: Unless you checked your results and saw "fail" next to your name, you need to relax. Don't think about finding another way to study because you don't know for sure you failed. In fact, it seems very common to feel the same exact way you feel right now after taking that exam. And you know what? I bet you passed! I know it's easy for me to say, but think about it this way: 85% of the people who take the nclex pass, and kaplan has like a 95% passing rate. So statistically the chance that you passed is pretty good!
One of my friends passed with 77 questions, so just because your test ended w/an odd number does not mean anything. Trust me, we all sit here and try to analyze every little thing about that test, but in reality it's so unpredictable.
When will you find out your results? If I were you I would stay busy, go out shopping, out to eat, and exercise. Do everything right now you couldn't do when you were studying. Please keep us posted! :heartbeat
