Did I fail NCLEX????!!!

Updated:   Published

Hello

I took the NCLEX yesterday and it was 100% worst than I expected. I've been going crazy and would appreciate any advice from anyone. My test stopped somewhere between 110-112, and I had about 30-40 select all that apply which I thought was crazy. Almost sure I got a lot of the select all apply wrong however they kept showing up. Even my last question was a select all that apply but I'm pretty sure I got the last question right. What does this mean, are these good signs or I have failed? I would really appreciate anyone sharing their experience and if they had a similar experience as me and what happened with their results.

Thank you

You probably passed. I heard SATA are good signs during the test. Did you do the Pearson vue trick?

I think your chances are good. How and when do you find out? In my city, we get emailed a license copy and can check the registry less than 24 hours after testing. I won't hear right away if I officially failed but...no email and my registry is blank over 48 hours later. It's such a weird way to inform people. It's either a humane and quick affirmation or brutal uncertainty. Don't despair, I think you're in a good place. Seriously.

Let us know.

In Florida, you can go to the Florida Health website and your license number will be posted the next day at 9am if you passed. I took my test Monday and it also shut off at 110 questions. I felt terrible about the whole test, but I knew that I got the last question right. Did the Pearson trick 15min after my test and got the good pop up. The next day I found out that I passed.

Hi kat! Just wondering what part of the website will they show that you passed? I took my nclex today at 2pm and Im trying to find out where and when will they post it. :D

SATA is a format of question, meaning nothing more or less than multiple choice, drag/drop, fill in, etc. It's a very long running myth that SATA questions are a higher level of question (they are not) or that not having many means you did badly (it does not). Right up there with having a lot or a little calculations or a lot or a little med questions, it doesn't mean anything at all. It's just a variation of testing.

I feel sorry for people who are upset because they don't know that none of these myths means anything :(

It's the Florida Board of Nursing website: http://floridasnursing.gov/ :)

Whether or not you got the last question right is not what determines if you passed. You have to be above the line to pass.

Do you work for BON? Do you write questions for them? I'm almost positive you don't so whatever you may think or say is a myth as well.

Of course there are no absolutes, but the test isn't going to shut off and fail you if you're answering questions right. It's just not logical. Unless you're talking about the very last question (#265) in that case you have to be above the line whether or not you get the question right.

Yes, that's what I mean. Sorry for the confusion. And to the pp, if you are talking to me, no I don't, sorry lol. Not my type of job anyway, lol. Have a good one and I mean that. I am not one to start things in these forums.
