I feel like burning most the LVN review books I bought as they did me no good what-so-ever on the NCLEX. The questions I got came out of left field. Stuff that wasn't taught in school like post mordum care for jewish men and questions about the Buhdist faith. I couldn't believe the questions I got. It felt like I guessed at half the questions. What a terrible feeling I have now. I have went threw the ENTIRE Saunders LNV review book and cd TWICE, that's 6,000 questions, as well as the kaplan review book, "lvn made easy", and the mosby cd. Total review questions and rationales done exceeded 8,000. Yet it didn't help me at all. Yes I read the rationales for ALL the questions/ answers. The NCSBN.ORG review was the only thing that helped me as the questions were similar to the NCLEX.
The VAST majority of question were priority questions. I had learned all the tricks to answer these in the Kaplan book. Only one big problem....the priority questions in kaplan are a complete joke (very easy) compared to the actual NCLEX ones which were brutal.
My computer shut off at 85 and I am positive I got the 85th question wrong because I looked it up when I got home. I hear if the computer stops at 85 and you miss the last question ...you most likely failed if you weren't doing so hot. I wanted to throw up when I left the testing center.
So hear I sit and have to wait 3 weeks to get result in CA. I will start checking the LVN board website next week, but I have a bad feeling my name won't be up there and I will have to take the NCLEX again.
gosh i am so nervous. i took my test last week on wednesday and i stopped at 85. i seriously felt so unsure of myself walking out of there. i got sooo many select all that apply and a TON of meds!! most of them, ive never heard of before! ill be here for support until my results get here in about another 3 weeks...being in california sucks. but i wanted to cry coming out of there...ive always aced my tests in school and this one seemed to be getting more and more difficult. im so nervous that i failed

sounds like you passed to me - I haven't heard of anybody failing at 85 - those SATA are a pain, aren't they? I wonder why some people get so many meds and some don't get any. I got just a few. Mine cut off at 85 and I felt as you do, and I passed. Just hang in there - any possibility of forgetting about it until you know? Because you won't know until you know, and why put yourself through such worry? Most likely you passed. Two scenarios - you passed, so all the worry was wasted. If, in the off chance you failed, well, don't think about it, because I bet you are ok!
I took my LVN test on November 26 with 85 questions and also 15-20 select all that apply and plus some meds that were select all that apply! It was crazy! I really dont know if I passed as well! I'm hoping my results come soon and I hope I pass before christmas so that would be the best present ever!!!!!! GOOD LUCK to us!

yeah i hated the SATA i dont think i ever got one of those right in the pracitce tests lol. ill keep you posted!
I took the Exam on Nov 21 and have not heard anything yet. Anyday now. Not sure how I did. I graduated with honors but at the sametime I took the whole test 205 questions. After the test I have made my self so sick. Does anyone know if u take all 205 questions does that mean u failed? I am so scared to get my results. I live Ca so I had to wait.
They probably just mailed out your results.... they are mailing out result for 25-26th tonight in CA... so it will probably hit the post office in a couple of days. Let us know if you passed!!!
I got my mail today nothing. I'm so tired of waiting. Have u heard of anyone passing after taking the whole test? Everyone that has taken it so far stopped at 85 and they all passed. But I'm really worried cause I did take all 205. Any info would be great.
