Congrat to one and all, lets hope the misery ends for the rest of us tomorrow. It looks like good results! Does anyone know what the pass mark is?

I just hope I can sleep tonight and that the postman comes early tomorrow to ease the pain. The dreaded opening of the letter is put off for another day.

lets hope good news for London tomorrow!

I wrote mine the first time and passed. I'm from Toronto. My dad checked the mail in the afternoon time today. I was out with my mom to doctor's clinic while I got texts from friends saying they got the mail. I right away called my dad and asked him to check the mail. He gave me a good news, but I really wasn't ready to believe him until I actually saw the mail with my own eyes!! Feels so great to have that mail in my hand :). I was jumping up and down running around my house, declaring that "I PASSED". It's such a relief... honestly :|

For the future writers: You may feel anxious after you finish writing the exam... I, in fact cried for almost a week after writing the exam, because I was positive that I was failing. Then, thankfully it was my brother's wedding in a few weeks after the exam, so that kept my mind off of it. Still, the thoughts sometimes made me feel very low. I always do this thing while writing the exam that I mark the ones I am confident I will get right. This time I marked and saw that I was getting 54/200 right. This honestly scared me to death because in previous exams, I was sure about a lot more than that. This increased my anxiety to a level you cannot even imagine. Therefore, make sure you pick the options you think are CORRECT!! Don't fall into their trap of distractors. Practice, practice practice by answering the questions from Mosby's practice questions book!! Have good knowledge base as well, because without knowledge, it's not possible for you to pass. The questions in CNA book are nothing compared to the actual CRNE questions because they make them wayy harder and wayy more confusing. Use that CNA book wisely and don't expect the questions to be as easy as them. Read the rationales and see how they could word the questions to confuse you. Most importantly, Read LEWIS!!! Read POTTER & PERRY!! Base your reading according to the CRNE competencies! They are of high value. Read them everyday and make sure u didn't miss any of those competencies. When they write in brackets (e.g., *so and so...*) think of other topics that could cover that competency. Buy a new set of highlighters. Highlight and make sure you know all those competencies. Sometimes the answers could be one of the competencies as well. The Mosby's comprehensive guide is another resource many people used for this exam. Use this resource wisely! Don't read it all... maybe only the parts you may lack knowledge in. Again, I didn't read every single page of it. I only read the things that are common or some things I may have heard from someone. Make sure you start reading this book about 5-6 months ahead of time. Finish it about 1-2 months before the exam and go over the highlighted points everyday while reading Lewis and Potter & Perry. Again, you don't have to read every page from Lewis and Potter & Perry. You may just have to read the common conditions that are most prevelant in Canada. Also, things you studied in school; you may refer to the slides from Patho course. This is exactly how I studied and passed. After finishing the exam, I know many people who were confident that they would fail, but they passed too. Hopefully these strategies would work for you. I have always been an anxious exam writer, but this exam was the most anxiety provoking exam I have ever written in my life. I'm just so happy that I passed. Good luck to all the future writers and I hope you feel the same way as I do very soon :).

The passing mark was 550 out of 800. I got 510.. Guess more studying for me. What is frustrating now though is I have to go through all the anxiety again. The studying wasn't even that bad. But considering my mark guess I should have studied a lot more. Thanks for the above suggestions grad.rye.2012!

Didn't they give you the raw score out of the 180 questions? Don't worry too much.. Atleast now you know the hang of the exam, more practice questions will sure do as what grad.rye.2012 have said.. And lots of prayers for more guidance as well..

Hi Pauly 05, what's the cut off raw score by the way? It's good to find some study buddies.You can share the study material bank. It also serve as motivation and good way for clarification whenever in doubt. Take some courses early and always be towards the outcome . Don't give up. I have a friend ( as well as our study buddy) who also did this as 3rd time. She just passed. I wish you the best in your study and future exam.
