I just finished taking my NCLEX. I had 225 q in about 4.5 hours!!! I was expectig 75 questions!!!! Most of my friends got 75 questions and passed and here I am having 225!!! It was absolute pure torture. I found myself throwing my hands up at the cubicle like I have no idea of the answer!! I attended a top nursing school, obtaining by Bachelors, and felt I knew nothing in there!!!! It was so very very tough and discouraging feeling for me. I AM THINKING FOR SURE I FAILED, I am just beside myself, and don't know what to do.
I took the Kaplan course and have been studying for 1.5 months, took all the questions and was doing well, and thought I was prepared...I also tried the tricks they suggested but nothing worked for me on many questions during the exam. I have friends who said their questions were easy, mine definately were not, luck of the draw I guess, I feel so unhappy they were unble to get through it in 75 and passed and here I am feeling like a failure. I'm embarassed.
My stomach is in knots and I feel I can't breathe. I am feeling sick and not feeling well. I long to see my name show up as passed. I am just doing lots of prayer and crying right now, I feel like I am in shock...I want to be a nurse so bad it hurts, I don't want to give up on my dreams. I have lots of prayer and lots of hope and faith. God, I pray I passed, I feel so sick. I can't stop crying! Sherry

Did u try PVT trick???I understand how you are feeling but number of questions never determine whether you pass or fail...just hang in there and have faith in God!!!!Good luck

I feel you! I am taking my test tomorrow~
anyways, go ahead and attempt the Pearson view trick, look for it here in the forums, so that you can ease up on the stress? its not guaranteed but it worked for all my friends!

I felt the same way you did...even though I did PVT and it was the "good" pop-up. I wouldn't let myself truly believe that I passed until I got the unofficial results. Sounds like all your hard work paid off, so while I'm sure you won't be relieved until you get your results, I hope that you'll find a way to relax now that you've taken the exam.
It won't help to stress yourself out over something you can't change right now. So try to have some fun and two days will fly by in no time!
BTW, I took my exam on a Friday, and the unofficial results were ready by Sunday, but I didn't check until Monday. So they may be posted sooner than you think!
Good luck!! :)
