I'm the new president of Club 265! None of my nursing friends/co-workers had 265 on nclex. They all shut off at 75 and passed (I'm talking like 30 people) and I sat today for almost 6 hours (I'm a slow tester anyway) and answered 265. About 20 SATA's which were cinchy in comparison to the "pick one" questions. weird?????????
I got to such a point of frustration at around 150 that I might have blown it. I'm talking in tears and everything. Took a break, told myself "have a quick little pity party for fun then get peeved and take that exam DOWN!"
Yah, um, just couldn't get past the frustration and exhaustion. I'm my own worst enemy. I certainly don't think it helped me to know about everyone else. It put on some serious pressure (self-inflicted, I know)
So, what's the status of any other Club 265 members? Looking for some comfort here. Let me know either way whether you just took it, took it a long time ago, passed with 265, failed with 265 etc....
265 questions yesterday. I woke up this morning feeling like someone beat me with a bat numerous times. I can't believe it. I feel so miserable and hopeless. I am crying as I write this because I put my heart and sole into studying for that stupid exam. I read Saunders cover to cover, did Kaplan classes, all the qbank and all the qtrainers with averages in the mid 50's to 60's. I was soooo positive before the exam, kept chugging along the whole test even though I was feeling like I failed. How did this happen?????? I can not go through any more studying both mentally and physically. I am so exhausted and drained. I can't believe I hafta wait till tomorrow for results.
don't give up hope.. just believe.. i thought the same thing.. i know that test was hard... i have never seen anything like that... but God has the last say so.. just let his will be done.

So does that mean that 265 is an indefinite number to possibly pass?
You can still pass with 265, I failed and passed with this number (if not passed with 265 I wasn't far off it) Many on here have also passed with 265 and even carameldiva has posted on this thread they passed with max number of questions
My name is still not on the BON and I know by now I failed. This is far too familiar, this happend to me 11 months ago when I tooko the exam and failed it last august!
I am so upset because this time around I read the book, cover to cover for 6 weeks. I then did 100 questions for 2 straight months....I can't believe I failed again. When I wrote the exam on jul 2nd, I was getting difficult questions, infections control, priority. But I think I messed up on the 5 math, because they were not typical dosage calculations. When the computer didn't hit 75 I was sure again, that I was going to give the computer confusion of whether I am at the level of competency to pass!
Im just trying to keep hope until I get that letter. I have heard from many people that they found out they passed through the mail and never saw their name on the BON.

hey jazzysmika I knew someone who passed without her name on the BON and the day after she knew she passed through mail, her name was posted! hope this would relieve your anxiety and giving yourself a hope to pass the test! relax relax relax... Pray Pray and Pray..
Haven't you heard don't count your chickens before they hatch? I say this to you cause thats what people always say to me! I took the exam July 1st. Studied my a@# off. Got to the exam had all 265. During the exam I got up for my two breaks and threw myself pitty parties:bluecry1: in the little girls room cause I had reached an all time high stress/fustration level. On the next day I was so sure I did not passed I made every phone call imaginable to reschedule my test (even though my results were nowhere to be posted cause it was to soon). I called my BON and Pearson. Both of which laughed at me when I claimed I knew even without really knowing. I even went as far as to get on EBAY and reserve 3 new nclex books. Mind you I already had 4:specs: Than on the 3rd I had to work a 12. Got to work with still no results. In a hospital, news spreads fast so everyone knew I had taken my exam. When asked throughout the morning even by my nurse manager I thought I would save myself the hassle and told everyone I failed!!! Once again I was saying this without really knowing. About an hour after telling my manager she returned to my floor. Standing outside a patients room with a girlfriend of mine they proceeded to tell me I had passed cause they checked my name. Moral of my entire story is that yes I was sooo happy I passed but I was even more embarrassed I doubted myself. THIS IS FOR EVERYONE, save yourself the hassle.....believe in yourself, trust in your answers, and know that when you gave your responses they were all given in good faith....hands down!

Wow...thanks for that you guys, but I tested July 2nd, and still my name is not on the board. It is so frustrating and heartbreaking. I mean, how often do people not find out about getting their results via on the BON but by mail? Maybe just a few, and what are the odds for me? I did my best this time, I took breaks and everything, 3,000 questions. My questions now is do I re-do a whole 4500 more questions in order to prepare for the enxt one, because I am not going to wait another year to take it....I want to take it at least within the next 3 months!:imbar:o:twocents:
this is a silly question, but i am waiting for my results and i think they will be in an hour. however, is it 48 hours after your appt time or the time u finished the test?? i also had 265. eeeek!
