85% pass first time so you really do have a good chance. Everyone comes out feeling as if they failed

Good luck

We maybe had the "same" 75 questions, I guess. I took mine today as well. I got some stupid questions wrong. Hopefully we pass this exam.

Good luck to you! Keep us posted.

thanks,,it is just so disheartening when you spend ALL of your free time studying and really can't cram anymore in your head..and this test kicks your butt. I knew it would be hard,,but I also knew I had a lot of info in me.

The SATA's are almost impossible..they should not be at the same level as a multiple coice b/c you have to get them ALL right. Very upsetting.

I am jumping the gun but I just have a feeling,,and I remember some of the questions now and I got them wrong.

The exam is designed for 50% pass and 50% fail. Seriously forget about the exam and try to relax whilst you wait for your results

Everyone gets 50% correct and 50% incorrect on the exam; the level of the questions where you are getting the majority of the correct ones is what determines if you pass or not.

85% pass the first time.

Best of luck to you and please just wait until you get actual results, you may just be pleasantly surprised.

I too sat for NCLEX today and it kicked my butt. I only wish it spared me and stopped at 75 instead of the full effect of 265. When I finally left the room 4 hours later I was disappointed, deflated, exhausted, bombed, basically every negative emotion I could possibly feel about the test. I'll pray for all of us that sat for NCLEX today and try to keep your faith in yourself until you officially get your results.

I took the dreaded test this morning,,thought I was prepared. I couldn't sleep last night and was soo nervous.
My questions were HARD, very tricky. I will say though that now looking back I know I made some really stupid errors.
I had like 12 SATA which were all horrible,,and one math.
A lot of priorities and meds.
I really think I failed,,,I guessed on so many. The computer shut off at 75. I was upset and thought that b/c i was in my mind doing bad,,that 75 is not a good number.
How many people fail at 75? I know it seems most pass at 75, but I know I was guessing a lot and really cant imagine I passed. I was hoping the computer would keep going so I could prove myself.
If you fail at 75 it must mean you really really really did bad huh??
I cannot imagine starting the studying process all over again, but I really have a bad feeling about this my test results.

i took the test yesterday got 16 satas 5 meds... 2 calculations... ill pray that we'll all pass... good luck to all of us:) it stopped at 75... what do you think are my chances:)

I also feel the same. I took the "test up in the sky" today, and stopped at 75. i have sooo many regrets as i look back on the test. Thinking about the test on the drive home made me sick to my stomach and I couldn't help but throw up when I came home (First time I had thrown up since I was a child). It is all such a blur to me now. I told everyone how much I wanted to stop at 75 and when it did.. I was not satisfied. I wanted more.

As I sit here and think about how to study again to maybe prepare myself to take the NCLEX a second time, I am totally blanked out. I have exhausted my Saunders, reading the whole book and doing close to 4000. Not to mention, I also suckered myself into paying for Kaplan. I don't know what to do now. I think I have done more than 6000 questions to prepare for this test.

As I wait the next couple of days for my results, I am trying hard to keep busy... but it's really going to be tough.

girl, i feel the same way too!

i took the rn boards today this afternoon, it was not easy at all....it sure wasn't!

a lot of critical thinking!

i stopped too at 75 questions. had 4 math questions, a lot of sata and meds....oh my gosh, meds i never heard of and were not in my review book.

but kristina26, don't think about it anymore.......its over with and it's done....no going back. don't torture yourself thinking about.....what good does it do?

i did the test, im done with it.....what i'am going to do? most definetly not think about....what the point of doing that!

just relax and do what you like to do. watch tv, watch movies, do your hobbies.

im here just relaxing watching wipeout and right now its almost time to watch i survived the japenese game show! got to luv that one...so silly!

after that going to do some of my scrapbooking.......tons of pics piling up to be scrapbooked!

just enjoy your days while you wait for the results! no point of torturing yourself!

take care,

Please dont get too down on yourself. I felt horrible after I took my nclex. I felt like I couldnt have done worse if it was written in Chinese!! And yet, I still passed. Just hold on to hope, you can do it!
