Hello there guys! Whew! I feel really great after taking my NCLEX RN exam last June 6 at Tamuning Guam! I stopped at 75! there are many questions about infection control and prioritization....I am awaiting the results thru the snail mail coz i dont have credit card to pay for the quick result! Is there any other way to find the result earlier without paying $7.95?
Hope to pass!!!

It will depend on the state that you wrote the exam for. Only 1/2 of the states participate in Quick Results in the first place.
Which state?
I passed the NCLEX RN Exam. Most of my questions were related to infection control and prioritization. I would highly recommend those who will take up the exam to really focus on reading Saunders, Kaplan and do a lot of CD practice everyday...Kaplan Question Trainer is a good cd material so you will be very familiar with the format of the exam but Kaplan Question Trainer is a lot lot harder than the real thing...so do not be afraid if you cant hit a 70% or an 80% mark in the 7 sets of the exam...NCSBN CD Compilations is also a good material and it is closer to the real NCLEX RN exam than the Question Trainer....I have this word of advice to those who will take...You really need to give you 100% in reviewing your nursing concepts....there is no other way to pass but to reallly prepare....on the night before the big day, relax, sleep early, i did a little meditation and relaxation tapes so I can really get a restful sleep and I did! my examination was scheduled 8:00AM so I woke up at 5:00AM, eat good breakfast and went to the testing center at 7:30AM, then I finished my exam in 1 and half hours (90 minutes)...Oh it was easier that I thought..really! but the questions were really tricky...sometimes you cannot eliminate 2 obvious wrong answers just like in the practice tests because all the answers or choices are correct and you only have to choose the best one or the first one! Remember to do some deep breathing so your anxiety building inside you will go away....then pray and pray...there were few questions that I really dont have any idea what is the correct answer, so what I did...I just close my eyes and pray and answer the first letter that comes into my mind...and i guess it helps (call it Divine Intervention perhaps...)
Oh taking the exam is really a great experience...It is something really bigger than life....you face it head on and you will soon realize that it is over and you have faced it bravely!!! Good luck to all who will take their exam soon!!!!
May God Bless you All!!!!
