Failed at 75 questions

the ATT is for 1 go only, you need to re apply to state to sit exam and they usually have a waiting period and then re apply to pearsonvue and they will issue another ATT once informed by BON

Try not to stress yourself too much about failing, many of us do fail 1 or more times. Give yourself a few days to recover and then try doing some more questions again. You should get some feed back on how you did and where you could do with studying a bit more

I'm sorry to hear that you have to retake the test. When it shut off at 75 I felt so encouraged by the low number. It's like, people are more prepared to fail if they went through 200+ questions... maybe not. I walked out figuring I must have passed since it shut off at 75 but I have not heard yet.

It's so difficult to think about preparing for it again when we felt like we just finished all those questions and all that review. In getting the energy to do it again I would ask myself a few questions-- Did you review content or practice mostly questions in preparation for your last test? Did you review all of the areas equally or did you skip over a particular unit like oncology, pedi, maternity?? Did you take a review course or practice on your own? Maybe you just need a new plan of study. If I have to retake it I will definitely do the Kaplan q trainers that people seemed to find esp helpful.

Best wishes as you prepare to take it again... keep your chin up and do something nice for yourself today!

Oh, poor thing. I'm sorry.

Relax for a week. You have to still be thoroughly fried from school. Sit by a pool with a margarita and chill.

You'll pass. But relax for a little bit. And let yourself be sad for a couple of days. It's natural.

it is just a test. i passed it, but who is to say by how much.

computer stopped at 75 and gave me no more (was the first to leave)

i could not even walk out of the place, i thought i flunked it. i was preparing my self to take the test again in my mind. when i was told i passed i almost could not belive it everyone else had faith but i know i did not... and again who is to know i may have passed by one question.

failing the test does not mean you are inadequate. i know 4.0 students that have failed, sometimes it think it is just bad luck.

you cannot give up and throw away 3 years or maybe more of school

(took me 4.5 years, school work etc to finish). you cannot throw that away. i know 2 people that have (working still as lpn, and another as an aide).

here is what happened with me:

i took the test july 28th and i had to wait until tuesday to find out the results. my computer shut off at 75. i was begging for more questions, but as we all know, when it shuts off, it's over. after i left the testing room, the guy that was at the reception asked me how i did and i said my computer shut off at 75 questions. he said i prolly did good coz the first 75 questions are the most difficult. i really did not believe him coz i just found the exam extremely hard. my family felt that i passed, since my computer shut off at the minimum number of questions. i felt otherwise. now it's been hours since i found out from the quick results, and i can't sleep. i'm really bothered. i really do not want to go through those two months of studying again; i do not know where to get the energy and determination from anymore. i feel so helpless and depressed, like i can't move on. i don't even know how to tell my friends about it since i know they'll be inquiring about the results soon. i feel so numb. i wanna take it again asap. i was wondering, can i use the same att to reschedule for another test? i feel so bummed right now. :-( now i'm even starting to question why i took nursing to begin with. this is just awful... :-(

We were told in our Rhinehart review course that they may, or may not, put both drug names (generic and trade) on the test. Are they still putting both names on the questions?

I went to Edison College in Punta Gorda, they told us not to worry about generic names and on my test I did not see any generic it was all trade, and (as far NCLEX review(Medspub) 3 day seminar). they told us not to worry about generic...

Sorry to hear that you didn't pass. Have faith and cheer up! NCLEX exam is just a matter of taking a risk. When I failed my 1st and 2nd exam I felt just like you. On the other hand, I don't wanna be called LOSER just because of it. So I took time to study and focus on my weakness based from the exam performance I got. I took my exam yesterday and now I'm waiting for my results from the BON. I wish you luck!!

I really don't wanna throw away those 3.5 years of nursing school, but right now, whenever people encourage me to go ahead and take it again, I just REFUSE to. Like I don't have the motivation right now or ever will be. I just can't bring myself to study all over again, like I will not be able to absorb anything in my head anymore. I don't know... do you guys think I should take it again? And when?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT. Means the world to me. :)

I feel the same way you do! My computer shut off at 75, I want to do more. Everybody thinks I pass, but I don't, the questions were extremely hard and I was stressed out. If I don't pass I am not going to study right way, I am going to take at least a week and half off! I think you should take it again!!! You must have work really hard, like I did. If I fail I will just take one day at time and study one section at time each day and review that section every 3 days so I don't forget

Go to the NCLEX forum and start on Suzanne4's plan immediately. I've been on this board for awhile and people SWEAR by her system...I start my RN program this fall but there are people that failed the NCLEX 3, 4, 5 times....went through her program and PASSED!

I wish you luck.

I can surely relate to this. I took my exam on the 24th w/ 75 questions and did not succeed either. I did not tell anyone that I took the test anyways however it had absolutely no impact on the way I felt. After about 3 days, I tried to study some. I know that nerves were my problem. I was sooo anxious. When I got home I knew what questions I answered wrong. I let anxiety get the best of me. Reading this forum encourages me and let me know that I am not alone. Some of us are in the same boat as you. I have decided that the more I sit back and feel sorry for myself, the days will pass by and before you know it, it time to test again. I must say I have my days. I have not left my house since I failed. I really just started doing questions from Kaplan CD trainer today (got it from a friend). Those questions are sooooo much like the actual test questions. Im also doing Suzannes plan. I tried to do it before and it help me some I felt. I just wanted to let you and others know that we have to get up and get motivated for each other. I am a single mom and its very hard to accept that I failed. But if I just sit here, tomorrow will come and that will just be another day I didnt take the time to study cause of how low I feel. Sorry this is soo lengthy but I am feeling the same as you are however I know my time will come, and yours will too. Keeping you in my

prayers. We can do this!

ok...

when you are ready you will know.

this is a greaving process.

this too will pass.

take a break first

but not too long of a break.

then study study study

it is amazing,

the day you pass nclex

you become the real thing.

there is nothing like it.

there are days i dread doing what i do,

but if one person says to me

thanks you saved my life,

that makes up for the whole day, and all those other days before that.

who said the road would be easy?

for some of us it is a long and rocky one

but you know

it can be a journey that was well worth it...

i hope you don't quit,

but you have to be the one to make that decision.

good luck

sincerely shiney new er rn
