    They were similair to the Saunders Nclex review questions on the cd. Especially the priority and delegation questions.

    Well Wishes to student 4 life and all who are about to test. Best advice I can give is RELAX and think each question through. You know this stuff!

    I took NCLEX-RN this morning: 75 questions and about one hour. There were drugs I had never even heard of! I kept telling myself that this "I know for sure I failed" feeling is normal and it's probably not right, but I wasn't as ready for it (the feeling) as I thought I was. Definitely the hardest test I've taken; very humbling, even though I can only specifically remember about four questions.

    Cross fingers for me! The next day and a half of waiting are going to be TERRIBLE!

    HELP... freaking out here as well.. seems to be a real pattern here. I write my NCLEX in a week... graduated from a Canadian univ last year - 4 yr program... did very well in school... but for some reason don't seem to be doing all that hot on the practice questions from Kaplan and Smith.... what were people getting on the practice tests before writing the exam.. I am stuck at about 70-73% ... think I should change my exam date or go for it? Been doing tonnes of practice questions... ugh.. just want to pass!!

    Took my NCLEX-RN today, also had meds I had never heard of, let alone knew anything about! I had 120 questions, took 2.25 hours. Walked out of there wanting to just hurl. A real mix of peds/OB/prioritizing, ABGs, etc. Two of my classmates took it in the past week, one stopped at 76 questions (failed it), and the other stopped at 82, don't know if she passed or not.

    If I failed this, I'm going to die. I'm supposed to start my job on Monday, and if I can't, what's the point? I might as well just go work in a coffee shop.

    Me too! Not on the BNE site yet, but I paid the $7.95 for Pearson. Can you imagine how much money they must make in a year just from people being impatient/insane??

    Instead of paying Pearson the $7.95, I just looked on the MN BON site.

    Yeah, Pearson must make a bunch to pay for that new building of theirs down in Bloomington, MN off that service.

    Congrats to you!
