Ok, Nervous wreck here. I just took the NCLEX this morning, and like a lot of you, I walked out feeling like I failed. It seemed like every other answer was wrong.. The computer shut down at 77 questions, and I just stared blankly at it, thinking "Ok, this could be good." and that thought was immediately replaced by, "This could be BAD!" What if I missed so many questions that the computer felt there was no need to continue its torture? I know most people say they passed around 75, but strange enough, that doesn't seem to console me, as that nagging "what if" voice keeps reverberating through my brain! I practiced and practiced for this test, but none of the questions seemed like anything I had been asked anywhere before!
I thought I read somewhere on here last night where someone posted about failing at 75 questions. That seems really harsh, as there are potentially 265 questions. I understand that it's not how many questions answered correctly that matters, but that the computer looks to see your competency level. Man, I just feel like if I was on the floors today and some of these issues came up, I would have been proven the most incompetant person ever.
This anxiety is already eating me alive, I have no idea how I'm supposed to make it until Monday.
