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.
Mine shut off @ 205 thats why i am very worried about it. My 2 classmates that shut off 85 passed, so i cant wait to get my result hopefully next week. Who know's 205 will make me pass, too. Just hoping:nuke:
Not to worry...the number really doesn't matter though. When and where did you take your NCLEX?
OMG... So here it is, I have been hearing that a big envelope means you failed and a small one means you passed. I took my test on the 12th of feb in california. I have been freaking out for weeks now being that I shut off at 85 and I was scared. My mailman came and I walked out there and what do you know it was a big envelope. I was so scared to open it knowing what I have been hearing about big vs. small envelope. Well, I hestitated and I finally built up enough courage to open it and I read PASSED. I am so happy...... Finally...... Good luck to all that is still waiting. "ALPHA DOG" yours should be here any min... Keep me posted..
