fail with 75 questions?

rnsrgr8t · May 24, 2006

I took my NCLEX, completed it in 30 minutes and shut off at 75 questions. The women at the testing center was schocked that I finished so quickly and told me that no one had done that before at the testing center. I promptly lost it because I was convinced that I had failed and felt that the questions I got were not that difficult or the kind where you really cannot tell for sure what the right answer was. I am also a REALLY bad test taker (took me 3 tries to break 1000 on my SAT's in HS). Well I passed! So try to relax, I bet you did fine.

Wow, 30 minutes! I took about an hour, and usually I'm a fast test taker. I was trying to take my time yesterday, though. I know that a couple girls that got there around the same time were done in about 40 or 50 minutes, which made me all the more anxious as they were leaving. I was trying to just concentrate and not compare myself to others. I wasn't freaking out or anything, just felt like I didn't know anything for sure :eek: . Oh well, hopefully I'll be able to check tomorrow. Thanks for your words of reassurance. And congratulations--how long have you been a nurse?

I have been a nurse for 8 years. I graduated in 1998. I am a PNP now and it took longer for me to take my PNP exam. I have no idea how I managed to do it that fast but who knows. I passed, that is all that matters! Good Luck!
