Feeling crazy about my NCLEX..

Published

So I took my NCLEX today. I'm generally a fast test taker. I finished my NCLEX in about 36 minutes. My test shut off at 85 questions. I had mainly all select all that apply questions. I did not have any math. I would like to stay positive and think that there's no way that I failed so horribly that my computer shut off at 85. However, I found myself so baffled during this test. I can't even estimate the number of select all that applies- that I had, but it was a LOT! I used ATI as a study tool during school and scored a 98% on my comprehensive predictor for passing boards. Has anyone on here personally failed with 85 questions? Am I overthinking this?

Hi, wow 36 minutes is really quick, but then again you stated you are a fast test taker. I would recommend taking your time and reading the questions and answer choices carefully. There can be one critical word that you miss that can alter the whole meaning of the question.

As far as how you did, its normal to feel anxious after your NCLEX. I was so worried after I took mine.

Did you try the pearson vue trick? Its usually accurate. If you didn't know about it, basically you log onto pearson vue and try to re-register for the exam. If it allows you to re-register, then you may have failed. If it doesn't allow you to and states: "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam..." then most likely you passed. Try it out, and definitely let us know how you did! When I tried it after taking my exam, it would not let me re-register. I got my quick results 2 days later and found out I passed!

I wish you the best of luck!

Also took my nclex today.... had 1 med calcu, 1 ecg, 5 or more SATA and mostly were prioritization, "what will you do", psych, med interactions. Also ended at 85 but with an easy question about position that made me shiver. Then, tried the pearson vue trick 11 hrs before exam and charged me 200$. LOL. Now, I feel like I'm going crazy and very depressed. Will know my results after 48hrs and hopefully we will all pass....

With 85 questions we where told that's a great chance you succeeded. I to got 85 questions with no math and 29 SATA. Sounds like your on the road to success. (Fingers crossed)

I did try the trick. I got the pop up that you had mentioned. But it was only about an hour after I had tested. Maybe two.
