Does the devil write this exam?

Published

I just got home from my exam a few hours ago. When I left the building, I immediately started crying, and ran to my car so no one would see me. I thought to myself what the F*** ?!?! was that even the right test? I litereally guessed on every single question. Some of the stuff I gad never even heard of before. I started to panic half way throught the test because I knew I was approaching 75 and had done really bad so far. I could hear my heart pounding in my ears the whole time. I think the earplugs were making it worse. I found myself just staring at the questions like a retard. So im assuming that since I only had 75 questions, and guessed on all of them, I pretty much bombed. WOW, i dont even know what to do with myself. I feel sick to my stomach.

Any advice on what I should do with myself for the next 48 hours?

Yeah, you will feel as helpless as if you are in a straight jacket with 4 point restraints. What a horrible feeling...Good luck to you!

I took the exam yesterday too. I didn't cry. I just felt numb and didn't know what to do. I became clumsy at everything. I don't know those people who write the exam, but some people actually find joy in making people a wreck...I just feel sad coz I can't do anything til i get my results.

You are not alone. I think I actually was walking circles from living room to kitchen to office carrying a stale coffee cup, some dirty clothes to toss in the hamper and chasing my tail like a slow cat under water. I swear, I just didn't know what to do w/ myself. So of course I came here and found co-conspirators who tested the same time I did, got the same amt of questions I did, and had the same types of questions.

Weird huh? You are not alone.

omg this is exactly how I am feeling. I'm feeling sick to my stomache. The exam shut off at 75q's. I also guessed on so many questions. had a bunch of med questions that i've never heard of. I tried so hard trying to study the kaplan drug cards but half of the drugs on the exam I have never seen before. I guess i'll jsut have to wait till friday.

Mostly everyone walks away from NCLEX extremely bewildered and confused. Most do well, also, to their surprize. I wish you all the very best.
