I would have bet money that I faild I took the NCLEX PN yesterday. But here in Ohio the board of nursing will update their website before they tell you that you passed and I have my license. I honestly was clueless. I thought I got a few of them right but not enough to pass, NO WAY. But I did. Mine stopped on 85 questions as well.
wow!! maybe i should try that, but i'm too scared. you must of known your stuff. congratulations!!!!!!!
i would definitely not advise that you do what i did. i mean all the nervousness and fear and confusion is just not worth it after the exam. when i take my nclex-rn exams, i will definitely not be doing the same thing. i will put time into studying. at least that way, before the results are out, i can tell myself that at least i'll know i gave it my all.
and i must say that i'm ashamed to admit that the reason why i decided to rush and take the exams, was because a bunch of friends and i were going away on vacation that friday and i just could not see myself having fun with the thought of the exams having over my head the entire time, or studying after the vacation.

i took the nclex-pn exam today and stopped at 85 questions. i know that the number of questions does not infleunce which way the results go. here's the problem...i had absolutely no clue what i was doing, i didn't know most of the answers (probably knew about 15-25% of them. i didn't study (i studied on sunday and monday and took the exam today -tuesday)...i didn't have adequate sleep last night, didn't have dinner or breakfast, and was starving and sleepy on my drive to the testing center. i really should have re-scheduled this exam...i knew i wasn't ready, but went for it anyway. i am now wishing that i had not told my friends that i was taking the exam today...at least that way i could just tell them that i am taking my time and will schedule it in about a month and a half (the 45 days after which one can re-test). at least that way, no one would have had to know. i feel like i have let myself down. i mean what the heck was i thinking not studying and not rescheduling the exam? that's the question that keeps going over and over in my mind. is there anyone that was 100 % sure that they failed (not just thought they might have maybe failed) and ended up passing?
