HELP I can't take the wait~!

hi all,

posted yesterday and just have to post again cause I'm freaking out. I took the nclex yesterday it went off at 75 questions but I feel like i bombed it. For one I couldn't think straight since I was so nervous 2) I got a ton of select all that apply which i'm horrible at 3) somewhere in the middle of the test I noticed that the questions were very knowlege based (still hard but more knowledge) which scared me because i was like uh oh must be doing bad then at towards the end I got the who would you see first higher questions. I was hoping I would have more questions to "prove" myself since I think I bombed some of the more fairly straight forward questions in the beginning b/c of nerves.

I've been trying to keep busy all day long (results not available till tomorrow) but I'm just so nervous I failed and keep having crying spells. It's awful. To top if off another classmate (who passed) stated that the MAJORITY of her test was prioritization higher level questions so NOW I'm thinking since I didn't get them until the end maybe they were just in their because they had to fill up the end of the test with something. I'm just afraid I dug a hole so far down in the middle of the test that I shot myself in the foot. :cry:

hi, i'm in n.j. so you had a similiar experience?

yeah, I had meds, a couple select all that apply, priority, ob, psych, did i mention meds, {only 2 delegationI got those wrong}, things like what would you do first, it was weird feeling for me, I have been crying all day, too. But I know I must have a plan in life. Keep your head up

you too!! did you find your questions got easier then harder? I think my were tough, then easy then tough again so I'm thinking I messed up in there somewhere

I took my test today I will be one of the few that bomb in 75 questions. there were so many on what type of room to give a patient (special precaution) that I no longer know what room I belong in. I really thought I was ready for this test but I think I was wrong

ugh!!!!

well I took mine yesterday, I had about 230 questions, at the beginning I felt like I was looking at a different language, then after about 200 I started wearing down, I don't feel too confident, but what can ya do.

Hi - healer27 I am right there with you! I am not from N.J. but I took my NCLEX yesterday and got 75 questions, too. I had 2 medication calculation questions, 2 select all that apply questions, and the rest were multiple choice. I got several prioritization questions; some appeared in the middle of my test and then some appeared at the end. I don't think you should freak yourself out, though. I did yesterday, but today I am more calm and have talked to a ton of my classmates who passed with 75 questions just this past week and their experiences have been similar to both of ours.

Plus, in case it makes you feel any better, I have talked to people who say they only got 75 questions and passed with hardly any prioritization questions!

So, you don't know for sure that you didn't pass - I am trying to stay positive for both of us. When is the earliest you can find out your result? I think here I have to wait until Monday - this is going to be a long weekend! But, just remember that you did your absolute best, and even if you missed the priority questions, as long as you got the basics right, that's what matters! I took a review course just before the test and the instructor told us that if you get harder questions on the NCLEX and miss them, you can still pass. He said that to pass the NCLEX you only need to be able to answer questions correctly that are at a below-average level. Hopefully since both of us got questions that seemed hard, that means we are above the passing standard!! Good luck, try to relax, and remember that you're not alone!!

My friend that passed her NCLEX on Wednesday got some of the what room questions.

yeah, from "easier to harder"...:uhoh3:

Hi just peachy, thank you and thanks to all for the tidbits of hope. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and prayers said for everyone who goes through this :heartbeat test, it's not easy and the stress is just ridiculous. I slept better the night BEFORE the test then I did last night thinking about getting results today. I believe I should be able to access them on the pearson vue website when the 48th hour after I took my test hits. I'm a little unsure because I thought I saw a post somewhere that said peason doesn't post on the weekend though. If thats the case I really am going to go crazy. If I didn't pass I want to know so I can get a good last cry in, move on and just start studying again.

I took the NCLEX 2 weeks ago - I had 75 questions, thought for sure I failed, cried for two days and I had passed!! I have not yet talked to anyone else who has taken the exam and thought they passed. EVERYONE feels like they fail. Hopefully by now you know your results, be sure to let us all know!!

Hey everyone! I just checked for my results on the Pearson website (I took my exam Thursday AM) and still no results available. Several of my friends took the exam this past week and had to wait 2-3 business days before their results were available. So, unfortunately, we might have to wait until Monday. :( I am really stressed, too, but just trying to be positive....

We are all in this together! I will be sure to let you know how I did when I find out. All I know is, each one of us deserves to pass and this exam really tests your determination to be a nurse - no one would put themselves through this if they didn't care about the profession! :uhoh3:
