got all 265 Questions, awaiting results.

Published

i took the nclex for the 2nd time today, and i got all 265 questions. i finished with 15 minutes to spare on the clock. the first time i took the test in april, i got 220 questions in 3 hours.-- sadly i failed. second time around, this time i took my time. my heart dropped once i reached 220 this time, i knew this time it was gonna give me 265, and it did.

is the passing rate for people with 265 rare? *sigh. i dunno. i felt so sick after... i got home at 2:00pm today, now it's 7:00pm-- and my heart's still racing. ...

for some reason i figured this being my second time around i would be much more calm since i knew what to expect.. but i was so anxious after this one------- i threw up in the parking lot after.

goodl luck to all those taking the nclex and those awaiting results.

People pass with ALL the questions ALL the time. I am sure you did as well! Think good thoughts! :)

I passed 3rd time with 265 if you get that far usually means border line and last question is the decider.

Good luck

Congratulations! You sure deserve it.

Honestly donschlec... it wasn't easier. It was pretty much the same thing over again.........some I think even harder. ONe thing new though... You must learn your herbs! I got 6 of those questions... At first I thought it was weird, but i guess those are high level questions. Know drug iteractions with garlic, echinachea, ginko giloba! I studied those this time around just cuz my Kaplan instructor sadi those pop up if u're doing above passing.. and they did!...

Good luck! I know you will make it too! 2nd time around isn't so bad! ;)
