Like so many who have gone before me and thought they failed from having too few or too many questions, I was mistaken! Many of the questions I did not know the answer to and I should have, so I thought I failed at 190. I'm sure the only reason I passed was cause I took the Kaplan course and did only the questions. If I had done Suzanne's prep I feel I would have been better prepared on the knowledge based questions. I'm here to tell you I got some really low end recall questions and I still passed. Also for California I hope everyone knows that they can look themselves up on the license verification section of the BRN and that will verify results before "official" test passing results are posted. I took the NCLEX last Thursday and got my results this AM. This only works if you have a complete file. Good luck to those who are taking it. Have fatih you will pass. Keep in mind it has nothing to do with how good a nurse you are just how good you are at figuring out NCLEX questions.
i also took kaplan and im taking it this last week of feb. i got two more weeks before the test. did you follow the suggestive schedule on how to answer all the questions in the question bank?
