For those who passed NCLEX

Bump. Its ok to add comments! :-)

I felt my chest pounding after the screen changed to the survey about Pearson. I thought I was going to go all the way to 265 again. At first, I felt like I did better than last time but after awhile, I started worrying. I did the PVT and received the good pop up but I was still worried until I received the PASS.

Just took my test today and I'm now at the bar checking Pearson vue every 2 seconds! I called my mom after I got out freaking out because I had all 265 questions..and so the wait beginns..

spears, you can pass with 265, I did! Best of luck!

I passed with ALL 265!!! It was the WORST thing everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! Hahahaha I would never do that again. After the test I felt so stupid and miserable... I was so stressed. I tried the trick ever 2 hours up until the quick results were available. Even tho I kept getting the "good pop up" I just couldn't believe it.

I stressed myself out so bad for those 48 hours!

All is well now😀 passed with 265 woo hoo! It's possible to pass the test when you feel like you know NOTHING the entire test hahaha

Lol thanks for the replies! I literally felt like a knew nothing I had a lot of SATA questions and cardiac strips..I did take the break though and finished in a little under 4 hours. It's been almost 24 hours since I took the test and I'm still getting the good pop up but nothing on PA SBON yet :/

I wrote out this long thing on another thread, so don't want to do it again, LOL, but I can attest to being someone who passed with the minimum yes STILL had no clue how I could have passed. I chose "left in tears because I think I failed" in the poll, as it's closest to what I was dealing with at the time.

It's from my dh that I got the response I now OFTEN give to others who are freaking out over wondering if they failed or not at the minimum number: "Given the kind of student you were, given how you prepared for this test, knowing the effort you put in and how you did in school...is it MORE likely you passed or failed?"

Love that man :)

I actually started studying again the day after my test, I was THAT sure that I failed!

I work with a nurse who passed almost five years ago. She said when she gets her notice from BON that its time to renew her license she freaks out because she thinks they are going to tell her that they made a mistake and she failed! LOL

That beast is a sanity theif!!

It definitely is @scaredsilly. But when does the Pearson Vue trick become 100% reliable? Is it exactly 24 hours after your exam has stopped and you walk out the building? I've been getting good pop ups since 4 yesterday afternoon

spears, they say 24 hours, but its never going to be 100% reliable because it is just a trick.

Ugh I'm just stressed

spears, I put a poll up last year asking which was more stressful (and soul destroying) studying for the test or waiting for results. The overwhelming majority said waiting for results! You are NORMAL!

Go do something fun or relaxing! Try to get your mind off of it. I know its awful, but look at it this way, we ALL have been there and most of us passed the first time!
