Took the Nclex today, computer turned off at 76 questions, got 3 SATA, 2 drag and drop, a few med questions, and a whole lot of Priority Questions and Infection control....whew! thank goodness for SPIDERMAN is all I have to say!!!

I was pretty confident going into the exam, but when I got to question 2 (it was a med question) I had to make an educated guess on meds that I have never heard of. Not one sounded familiar. I got frazzled, but jus reminded myself that I was going to pass! When it shut off at 76 questions I didnt know what to feel, I actually felt pretty good, until the ride home. I started getting worried.

I did the PVT as soon as I got home. I got the good Pop up. I felt a little relieved, but still have a lil doubt, I mean what if its wrong. This was my second attempt to pass NCLEX. I'm still praying, and hope on saturday wen I get my quick results, I will have passed!

Just want to say Thank you for everyone who posted about their experiences, and kept me in their prayers. It really gave me a confidence going into the exam that I didnt have the first time around.

Will keep you posted when I get my official results. Thanx!

Well folks it's all over...I was very nervous when the computer shut off at 85 questions. Haven't tried the PVT yet. Actually, I am afraid to try it.....Hopefully, everyone that tested today PASSED...Patty

Hi helppassnclex!

This time around I busted my bootie studying!! I took the Kaplan review course back in october, and studied here and there. But 3 weeks before my exam is when I started studying hard core. I tried to study at least 6hrs a day. I would do 2 hrs at a time then take either 30 or 45 min break and then continue studying. If I couldnt do 6hrs, I would always study no less than 2 hrs a day. I reviewed a lot in my week areas, and with all the practice exams I took I made sure to read every single rationale for every question whether I got the answer right or wrong. I also joined this site and read a lot of threads, and came across the Infection Control pnuemonic (My Chicken Hez TB, Spiderman, Mrs Wee) which helped me out a lot during nclex.

The first time I took nclex, before I even got to the testing center I already had it in my head that I was going to fail. This time around I went in with soo much confidence. I kept telling myself everyday that I would pass. I made notes on my desk and in my phone that read "I will pass NCLEX because I'm smart and I know my shyt!" so everyday I would see those signs and read them over and over. Once u keep telling yourself something over and over again you start to believe it, and it gave me the confidence I needed to tackle nclex.

When are you taking yours? Hope I helped. =)
