I Stopped At 205 Distraught

Published

Hello all. I took the NCLEX PN today and I was soo confident I was doing good...until I realized my comp just would not shut off. It stopped at 205 and nonetheless I came out the testing center crying and discouraged. I know my stuff and the first 100 questions I FELT like I knew it. It started asking me real hard questions that even my 3 months for studying for the board did not even cover. I feel dumb and every bad thing I can think of a person can feel right now. What are the chances for me having hope at this time?

I think most people say they feel the same so you are not alone. I am sure you did great. Good luck and let us know the results. :)

WHEN I TOOK THE BOARDS I FELT THE SAME WAY. THE COMPUTER SHUT OFF AT 85 AND I FELT LIKE I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE QUESTIONS. JUST HANG IN THERE AND HAVE FAITH. THE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS DOES NOT MATTER. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO PASSED AT 205 SO DONT WORRY.

Have hope. My understanding is that the test gets harder and harder to test the exent of your knowledge. I have heard that feeling like you did terrible is normal because of the way the test is set up.

I don't know of anyone that left the NCLEX and said that they were confident that they passed. Everyone, including myself, leaves the testing center crying and certain of failure. Be positive and have faith in your knowledge. Good luck!!:)
