feeling sick...and confused about when results show up

I took the NCLEX yesterday 8/23 @ 8 am. I could not sleep at all the night before, so when I sat down at the computer I had been up for 25 hrs. Before taking the test, I took one of those 5 hr energy drinks. Probably a big mistake. I had a mini panic attack at question 6. I was having hot flashes, chills, heart palpitaions, and waves of nausea. I thought I was going to vomit right there all over the computer screen.

Luckily, I was able to talk myself through it and made it to question 75. At that point the computer shut off. So I figured I either did really well or REALLY BAD! I got a lot of SATA, a lot pharm, 2 med calc. I would say almost half of the test was an educated guess.

So I went home about 2 hrs from the test site. Logged on seen that delivery was successful and did the PVT. I got the good pop up screen. So I was feeling a little better but, not completely confident in it.

So today, I have been looking at my state BON site and checking still says pending, Pearson Vue says results not ready. Well 2 or my friends from class took the NCLEX today and bless their hearts knew by this evening they had passed. Their numbers are showing up already.

So my question is and I doubt anyone will have a concrete answer to give me so I realize it just your opinion....but do you think that is a sign a failed? Or has anyone ever heard of someone getting results quicker than someone who took the test sooner in the same state? and they both passed?

Uggh!!! this really stinks. I have no idea how they held in together when you had to wait months to find out if you passed. This is ridiculous.

Pearsonvue results will not show for 48 + hours, state will vary and just because your friends show doesn't mean you have failed, could be your results wasn't seen until after the update or something is missing from your file

Good luck

Congratulations! the hardest part is over! May I ask what were the materials that you have been using during your review?

I will take mine on Oct 1 and really scared on that because SATA and pharm are my weakest points.

Every night before I sleep, I always pray and can't help to cry because I really wish to pass this exam so that I could find a job and to live closer to my mom who is currently battling with cancer. I hope God will listen also to my prayers and make a miracle to happen.

Thank you so much..

We used Saunders comprehensive all through school. So I used the disc and answered a lot of questions. It has over 4000 questions on it. We also used ATI and had access to Nurse Logic (teaches question strategy) and something else that I can not remember the name of and bunches of practice tests available . I spent a little time with a Kaplan stragegy book and took the first five tests on the question trainer. I also used NCLEX 3500 that came with our med surg book. My main stragegy was to answer and read the rationales to as many questions from different sources that I could find. I averaged about 200-300 questions a day for the 11 days I prepared for the test. The only thing I truly studied was Pharm and Labs. Pharm review was definately useful. However I still got plenty of meds I did not know.

Good luck to you!
