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.
Before I took my exam, I said that failing was not an option and I didn't know what I would do if that happened. Well after failing the exam. I realized that life goes on and not a lot changed. Don't be so hard on yourselves.
I used to come out of my nursing school exams fretting about the questions I think I missed. One of my favorite instructors used to tell me, "You keep dwelling on ones you think you got wrong. But there's also the possibility that you also got them right." It seems like everytime she said that I always did better on the exam than I thought...so it sort of became my 'good luck' statement to pass on to others worrying after an exam.
Hi...I also took the NCLEX yesterday and it stopped at 75. I felt like I knew nothing and am up at 3am with questions that I know I got wrong. The wait for the results is killing me, and I start a new job today...UGHHHH...I wish everyone luck and will keep you posted.
we all feel the same way after the exam, I took the nclex-rn last july 16 and my computer shut down at 75 with 8 sata, 1 med(w/c I got wrong), 2 math and prioritization and my feelings were like I was just guessing my answer choices but I PASSED, stay positive and pray hard because prayer really works, RN
I know how you feel- I wasn't able to eat,,didn't even feel worthy of a smile. We beat ourselves up so bad b/c we expect so much out of us. Nursing school was really hard,,studying for this test even harder. And you all like I, probably thought you couldn't study anymore and just wanted to get this thing over with and move on with our lives.
Now after taking it,,we are looking back at how much we didn't know, how much we had to guess,and how much we know for sure we got wrong (i know of at least 6 I for sure got wrong that I really should have known)
So we are mad at ourselves.
All we can do is hope,,,I will be in total utter shock if I pass.
Just keep your head up even though it is really hard.
If you gotta take the test again thats what we have to do :)
believe me when i say i know where you're coming from... i felt sick awaiting for my results. time couldn't pass fast enough. your mind starts playing tricks on you and you wonder if its possible you failed when you went in thinking you have this in the bag. keep yourself occupied, distract yourself seriously. go take a walk, exercise, watch a movie, meet with friends, work, anything. have faith in yourself. waiting for your positive results... :)
as i go thru and read some of the posts, it seems like those who stopped at 75 with a good amount of SATA's passed, and those like me who only had 2 or less failed. (for the most part) Its just a pattern i noticed. I know they all say the number of SATA's don't matter, but again, its just something i noticed.
Yeah I know how dreadfull the waiting can be..just feels like a bunch of knots in your stomach and it's just constantly there on your mind..did I pass, or did I fail? But like others have said just stay calm and keep praying. You don't know the results yet! Don't assume the worst, just keep a positive attitude! Goodluck to You. :wink2:
