Big day tomorrow

Published

I've been reading these threads a lot lately and its definitely provided me with lots of helpful information. Tomorrow is my testing date, and honestly, i have never been more scared in my life. I think I've done over 3000 questions between kaplan and 3-4 other review books/CDs - but I still feel unprepared and like I know absolutely nothing. I scored a 69% on test #7 on the kaplan, and I barely scored in the passing range on their post-test ( exactly 65%). I know kaplan says that you should feel confident with anything above a 65%, but I'm still unsure of myself. ALOT of things/people are depending on me to pass this exam, and I am terrified of disappointing them and failing. Everytime i think of the possibility of failing ( which is very often) i just want to hide in the corner and cry. I guess all there is left to do now is just pray. Please wish me luck .

Take a deep breath and know you've done your best to prepare! I'm sure you will do just fine, KNOW THAT! No negative thoughts allowed!:nono: I have the same fears as I'm sure everyone here does as well. We have studied the best we can and this test isn't the end of life if we don't make it the first time. The world won't stop, your friend's will talk to you, your loved ones will still love you and you will still have an RN job! Push all bad thoughts off to the side, I know it's rough. I have a few week's left for mine, but the pressure mounts. We can't make this larger than life. You will get through it and you WILL be an RN!!:balloons: GOOD LUCK!!

Good Luck Tomorrow! I felt the same way about not wanting to disappoint people. But just remember you have made it this far and survived nursing school, so i am sure your family and friends are really proud of you. Take a break from studying and enjoy your 4th of July. I am sure you will do fine and is completely normal to be scared.

Best Wishes, Shannon:)

Thank you both for your kind words and encouragement. I did manage to take the exam yesterday...and unfortunately i don't think it went very well. The comp shut off at 75qs. While i know from other people's experiences that the odds are in my favor, i just can't shake the feeling that i most definitely failed. I think i got the last two questions incorrect, and everyone says its important to get mostly priority questions. But while i definitely did get many of those, i'm not sure if it qualifies as a "ton" of them. Then again, i barely can remeber a single question from the exam. I just feel terrible, and anxious/scared about the results. I guess we'll find out tomorrow....

That is the same way I felt after my test. I wasn't sure if I got any of the questions right. I was scoring in the 60's on quizzes before I took the exam. I thought I failed, but to my surprise I passed.

I haven't posted on this site before, but HAD to respond to this. I took the NCLEX-RN on 7/3/07, and it shut off at 77. I got the last one wrong, FOR SURE-didn't get priority at the end, and found out today that I passed. On top of all of that, I drove my husband and everyone around me mad by crying hysterically because I "knew" that I had failed. Really-I KNEW it. So, although these posts did provide reassurance while I was waiting-nothing will shake that feeling until you see your results. Just know that it is normal, and I am willing to bet that you passed :)
